He did some music videos and they're sick.

I think pointillism is cool, but I can't really name an specific artists who do it or a specific piece. Divisionism is cool too, similar concepts but I can't name any artists or pieces.
 
These two are 'effin sick!!

I'd have both of those my wall in a second.

The 2nd had me staring at it for a while.

Me likey!
 
Take a 20th century art history class and you will have a new appreciation for Pollock. I used to hate his work, but then I realized how influential it was on the Abstract Expressionism period, and how difficult it really is to make.

as for some of my favorites, Lee Krasner

I'll add more later
 
As i was going through this, i realized that I was thinking that some of the things in here do not belong with works by Goya, but then I thought more, and thought that all art is art.

Kind of a cool story I guess.
 
well there's still such a thing as good and bad art, but surely i think that's up to interpretation to begin with. i would like to think that peu d'import the era a piece was created, doesn't necessarily cap genius. there is such a thing as modern art, and artists who live today who are well celebrated, be it by small or large communities, and those people will for sure be talked about for a while. it is fun though to see people's tastes, and if it's some crumby nothing then just pass it over. you have to accept at some point, that the modern individual doesn't value things for as long of periods as they should, that fads are apart of life. so maybe, some artists might not be recognized for hundreds of years to come, like so many in the past have, it's still no excuse to stop and appreciate an astounding piece of work when you see one. if you really understand the virtue of an artist, then you'll know you can find every piece of hard work is in every single line, or stroke, or cut of a piece of work. passion is what creates the magic, and if an artist isn't putting hours into their work, if not sheer madness, it will show. but don't be so closed minded about it.
 
Jeff Shapiro man, he has some really cool stuff and my parents house is littered with it because my dad used to sell him shelf supplies for his kiln.

I liked the rhetoric behind this, but I feel like as soon as you make this statement you kind of lose any argument about art. The whole premise behind it is that there is no classification between good and bad, it's simply one's own interpretation of something more (or less).

The simple fact remains that for art to be truly be art, it can neither be 'good' nor 'bad', but simply just exist as its own description.

Does that make sense? This is all very pedantic, but I feel like it's important enough to debate.
 
i just recently read a book about ^^^that. and art has major problems right now. speculations, no clear distinction between good and bad are just two of them.

seriously, most "art" right now is crap and most artists just a bunch of losers thinking they are something special. there are artists that make millions with printings of those classical hotel-room paintings (landscapes). so from one standpoint, they are economically successful, but other artists dont think its still art.

back in the day, art was always linked to intellectual AND technical superiority. nowadays your rip the head of a living sheep or let another dude shoot you and its art, when maybe most of those artists should get some help.

now look at this:

i know, it doesnt look like much, but just look at that detail:

ProserpinaGianLorenzoBernin.jpg


cold marmor looks like warm, soft flesh as the hand squeezes into the skin. awesome.

i am not saying that ALL of modern art is bullshit, but like everything in this world, too much people try their hand at it and most of it is crap. like all those "photographers", "editors" and rappers. not everybody is an artist, just because he has photoshop on his computer and a camera. face it. and this results in the REAL artists, the berninis, michelangelos, tizians, etc from today NOT being recognized under that massive amounts of crap.

the friend of my mother could literally spend two hours infront of one of tizians pictures. i myself like to visit all those great churches we have in europe, while i am not at all religious.
 
Threads to look at when I am feeling down. This art is sick.

The Francis Bacon is probably my favorite so far. Damn keep them coming.
 
my world literally just ended. seriously, it's a thread about artists you like. and let's be frank here. tattooing isn't easy. it's sure as fuck more complex than painting, and for some boss to show up and tattoo someone and make it look like an incredible water color. kudos to that mother fucker, because he has a lot of talent. there's a reason they're called artists. because they make art. people who shove their noses up the classics and ignore progress are just a bunch of hispter pretentcious goons. i love classics, but i appreciate everything else to for what it truly is.
 
It's you that doesn't belong here.
If you are attempting to demean tattoo artists, you might as well just save the world the trouble of listening to your feeble small minded remarks and kill yourself.
 
well the problem is that this thread is about so little, that it is about anything.

there is so much shit that I could post in this thread. For example:

Lamborghini-Gallardo-P-factor.jpg


that is, in a way, art.

Industrial+Design+by+Dustin+Brown+01.JPG


also, art

I just feel that this thread established itself as something that was fairly clear, and you came in and posted a shit ton of tattoos, which was pretty obnoxious.
 
that is incredible

all sexual jokes aside (got it out of my system before replying), the detail is incredible

there are fucking veins on his hand... VEINS, AND THEY LOOK REAL
 
They were all done by the same artist. The thread was made so people could share the work of their favorite artists, her post completely pertained to those guidelines.
Leave.
 
it's totally misguided to think newer art is not worthy of the same respect that artists like Goya or Caravaggio are given...or that tattooing is a less worthy form of art...

I love Stephanie Brown's work:

As far as classics, I'm all about the PRB and the romantics, and I love JW Waterhouse

And Sargent:

thats actually an interesting piece to me. its very masculine and pollack was inspired to create it based off one of the most basic things a human does, urination! he put the canvas on the ground and splatter painted that shit. lots of pieces have been made in tribute to that work in particular. whether by process, or subject matter based off his ideas- it sparked a lot of great ideas from other artists.
