notice when we're looking at funny pictures, we're all trying to copy how the people on tv judge art

shows how much tv influences u, good thing i dont watch those movies on drugs at school, i'd be so high :lol:

Number 1A gave me a headache looking at it.

when you see a pollock up close, it is absolutely breath taking because they are huge, and you can look at how he combines color and texture... when it's so small you don't really get the flavor

La pregària dels pretendents
by giotto (father of the renaissance)

It's handy having someone that works at an art gallery. You sure do know your art to be able to find all these different styles.

Death of Marat
by David (a personal favorite)

Whoa... that's brutal.

the story behind it was that marat was a revolutionary who was stirring things up a little to much, kinda like thomas paine - and he was stabbed by his mistress while in the tub writing his new piece... it's so touching because david was really able to capture grief, betrayal, sorrow, and a broken heart all in one piece... absolutely wonderful

I like it.

Yoink...do you have to quote the picture to comment on it? Kind of pointless having to look at it twice...for some it may take a long time to load on their page.

where's the tub?

thats cool

Sorry. I forgot about that. I just forget to delete the quote when I click on reply. There, I edited them so it will load faster.

Compositie in red
by Piet Mondriaan

I think I've seen that somewhere before.

i'm not a big fan on modern art. ( look! its Pichu! holynessness!)

i saw it in the kid's tv shiow "Arthur" when binky finds out that the painting was put upside down. I like modern art.... my room looks pretty modern... yellow, red, red, blue

modriaan's work is extemely famous... this piece is probably more familiar



his work is monumentally important in the evolution of art in the 20th century

Its ok Yoinkles! I didn't mean for that to sound mean or anything...I apologize if it did.

i dont understaand art and how they're classified.... for now i'll just look at the pretty pictures and pretend i do

that reminds me of a line from that movie "thin metal jacket" or whetever it's called.

"You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!"


As for the death of marat, I just studied the french revolution. Good stuff



(and yes, I haven't been on for a while, but lo and behold; I have made my triumphant return)
