I like deaf-mute Hendrick Avercamp’s winter scenes; Van Gogh’s boots (Adler said those boots inspired Brando in his Streetcar perf); William Merritt Chase’s ladies; Schiele’s freakish self-portraits; many Bruegel the Elder’s (The Hunters, The Monkeys); many droll lonely ones from Spitzweg; Raphael’s Fire in the Borgo; Klimt’s Mother and Child; Wyeth’s Christina’s World; Hopper’s New York Movie.

René Magritte
Not to Be Reproduced There's a pretty cool documentary on Youtube about Black Sabbath's weird, very 70s, whacked out album Sabotage (1975) where this painting gets referenced as to what they intended for the album cover - of the band in suits looking into a mirror - and how it got Spinal Tap-level fncked up that's pretty hilarious. I love this painting .....had forgotten about it ......  |

I was going to give this act of colossal dumbfnckery its own thread but didn't want to get "too political" (um), or encourage these 2 wackjobs by giving it the legendary " new pacinoyes thread" title that so often results in my generating my usual "0 replies"  - or that would allow MAR to yell at me for being "anti-environment" .......because I'm not......... although I did piss on a tree once (ok, it was several trees, at least 712 times) while drunk but we shouldn't read too much into that because I really had to go and it was only on those really ugly trees... |

 Oh honeys, I know at some point they'll make a movie of Tamara de Lempicka's decadent Art Deco life. A true feminist icon who forged her destiny and created a life full of glamor, great wealth, hedonism, perversity... She was monstrous and capricious, but very much her own creation. Sui generis. She left behind some of the best portraits of the Art Deco era. Picasso said she had 'the hunger'. |

 Oh honeys, Arshile Gorky's life and work is one of beauty and sadness. A survivor of the Armenian Genocide and later refugeed in the USA, they say that Gorky's enigmatic abstract expressionist paintings (he was one of the first pioneers of abtraction in the 1940s) are based on nature and on memories of his childhood in Armenia. (Today we might approach his work through the lens of trauma & PTSD). There's tremendous joy and beauty in his work, especially with his use of color. But just after Gorky turned forty, his life fell apart after a succession of horrific events: His studio burned down and a great deal of his work was destroyed; he was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent surgery; he was involved in a car accident that broke his neck and paralysed his painting arm; He heart was broken when he discovered that his wife had been having an affair with one of his friends. He ended up taking his own life |

 Oh honeys, I fell in love with Séraphine Louis' work after seeing the 2009 French movie, Séraphine by Martin Provost. Séraphine was an uneducated shepherdess and domestic servant (she was born in 1864) with a tremendous, almost compulsive passion to paint. Unable to afford paint she made up her own pigments & dyes from plants and painted by candlelight during the night when she had finished her work. Her love of nature, most of her paintings of of enormous clumps of flowers, show such exuberance despite her hard life and are strangely modern for their time. She died alone and penniless in a mental asylum. |

 Oh honey, Surrealist artist Max Ernst's The Virgin Mary spanking the Baby Jesus (1926) is one of my favorite paintings. I hope it doesn't offend anyone, but it is so irreverent that it makes me laugh! I'm sure Luis Buñuel loved it too... |

 Oh honeys, I've always loved Mark Rothko's color field paintings. The largeness of them, being totally awashed in color. You have to experience a Rothko in person, as the reproductions don't do them justice. When you're in front of them for a period of time, things begin to happen. Colors advance and recede, they can evoke emotions, but you do have to spend time with them. It's a contemplative, spiritual experience... which is why Rothko felt they should be in a chapel. |

Clicked on this thread thinking of Rothko. Not a huge art guy but he's exactly the kind of abstract art I like, love his colors. I could do a top 5-10, paintings just from him, maybe throw in a an Andy Warhol or two. |

On a side note, at first sight I thought you meant me as Italian GUY (there's an idiot troll on an Italian forum calling me a man every time, so I'm somewhat biased). |
