Haven't been to an exhibit lately and am not an artist, but I am really liking the fashion paintings by Ruben Toledo. Here's an example:
www.moca.org/audio/images/s+b/ruben_toledo.jpg-
@suburbqueen wow that's really cool and thanks for the link.
I don't think I've seen anything like that here in Boston.
I am off to see the ElGreco Velazquez exhibit in the Museum of Fine Arts before July 27th. (Art during the reign of Philip III)
It should be interesting. -
Sounds like tons of fun. I hope you have a great time!
-
@suburbqueen.. Yes me too.
There are lots of exhibits here in Boston
and to tell you the truth, sometimes I just show up for the wine and cheese.
Some are so darn boring, I have to keep myself occupied by slipping a nip in my purse. lmao -
Quite a distinct style. Reminds me of something, but I don't remember what. -
JEUNELLE WANTS TO MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR....that I am not an authority on Art.
I simply appreciate fine art when I see it like everybody else.
Just drop what you know about Art below...thank you for participating.

I was at an art exhibit a couple of months ago, featuring en plain aire works by local artists.
My favorite painter is John William Waterhouse.
I am a painter & photographer.-
@LGramlich now this is awesome, you a painter and photographer.
Not sure I've heard of Waterhouse but I'll look around,
maybe I could pull up a Google search Link.
Ah here are a few links. www.jwwaterhouse.com/
www.jwwaterhouse.com/paintings/
Actually I have seen his work around but had no clue who he was.

I love khalo. Her work just speaks to me. I recently suffered a very debilitating illness and now I find her work that much more compelling.-
@gingerbeer25 Yup Freida is one of my favorites too.
I also loved the movie but we are speaking about Art and not movies.
Here is a link www.angelfire.com/art/favoritewomenartists/khalo.htm

Erté - for years I have been absolutely obsessed with his work. My all time favorite - Nards-
Now Erte is beautiful I saw some work show up at Christies auction house
and it's absolutely beautiful stuff. The past owner was so surprised to learn how much the pieces were worth. She almost fainted. Hold on let me find a link.
www.erte.com/
www.erte.com/default-old.htm -
Jeunelle, why'dya do that? I'm gonna be clicking around on that site for hours!
I'm just glad that someone else likes his work besides me - Nards

sort of serenbalance.com/aboutus.aspx
But I have no favourites....I find inspiration from many sources.-
@Nomadic cool blog about Caroline and her work.
Yes definately, you can find your inspiration everywhere or anywhere.
Do you know I was in France some years ago
and I passed by the Louvre several times and didn't go in.
I finally did get inside but it took me days to get inside.
I kept getting sidetrack with the many pastry shops they have in France.
I could live in a pastry shop. hmmmmmmm -
erm....Caroline and Nomadic are one in the same. Thanks, hun x
-
@Nomadic ...OH THAT'S YOU? SURPRISE SURPRISE. YOU GO GIRL.
There are a few artist hiding in Linkedin.
I will pass a link to you from one I met there.
I still have to give her a list of art shops or exhibits around here.
Trying to hook her up, who knows.

I love the work of Caravaggio, Dutch masters, Basquiat, Kahlo, Lucien Frued, Francis Bacon, Paula Rego, Kiki Smith and so many more that I can list. I really can't pin it down to one favourite.
YEs, I am an artist
-
WOW slow down now, some of these I never even heard of.
This is an awesome list and I'm glad you mentioned them.
Now I can look them up and try to find some links to learn up on them.
Thanks jafbrit. -
@jafabrit... Caravaggio is one of my favorites, I really love real life art and how you can see
the suffering in the art,the expressions in the face and body language. Truly great stuff.
Caravaggio...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravaggio
www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/caravaggio/
www.caravaggio.com/
Personally he is up there for me along with Goya. I absolutely love Goya's work.
Goya...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Goya
www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/goya/
www.spanisharts.com/prado/goya.htm
Also please rent the movie "Goya in Bordeaux", it's in subtitles
but a truly great movie, staring Francisco Rabal, just before he died.
José Coronado, Dafne Fernández, Eulalia Ramón, Maribel Verdú, Joaquín Climent,
Cristina Espinosa (II), ..
The Actor Francisco Rabal played and older Goya in the movie
but that is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Dutch masters...also up there along with Caravaggio
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Golden_Age_painting

Basquiat I don't feel gets enough credit but maybe I'm wrong.

Last artist show I went to was years ago at the Orange County Fair. Emigdio Vasquez was the guest artist. Although I corresponded with him prior to meeting him, he seemed a concerned and proud man in person. He is known locally for his brilliant murals depicting day laborers and Hispanic culture. He also paints canvases. Here's the one I purchased:
fineartathome.com/oil-paintings/emigdio-vasquez-early-morning-at-ovc/-
@fineartathome awesome blog.
Honestly I never heard of this artist
but I'm glad you took the time to drop the link. Thank you.

Monet, yes I am boring.
-
@offendedblogger (boring) oh no your not.
Monet is awesome and there is one piece that's my favorite.
I don't know what it's called but it's a painting of a little girl on a stairway outside in a garden.
I LOVE that picture and I had a print but later while moving it was stolen.
I loved the colors in that piece. Bummer -
Went to Giverny last year. Great place - but sadly not a Monet in sight.
-
Nomadic that sucks.
We had an exhibit here in Boston a few years ago.
It was a real big deal because it's a rare treat for us.
I loved the show but I was pissed we couldn't take picture inside but I understand why. -
I would so love to go to Giverny! I love his waterlily paintings the most, I think. They are just so lovely.
-
@ J - flash photography could damage them over time. Get to MOMA in NY - you can take pictures of anything there - including a great Monet.
@ Off - Get yourself to Giverny. There might be no paintings, but the gardens are frigging amazing. Water lillies and all. -
@Nomadic...yup that's what I heard and that why we couldn't take pictures.
I sure didn't make a big deal about it but there were a few nuts
there that made a big scene and they had to be escorted out of the museum.
I was glad, they were making too much damn noise. I think they were drunk too. -
I am a fan of Monet also. I wouldn't call Monet boring.
-
-
Yeah and Freida was a painter...her work is still on display. I also loved her long before the overdue biopic was made about her life.
-
Yes gingerbeer25 me to
-
-
Monet here too. I also like Mary Cassatt.-
@mariamichelle
www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/cassatt/
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Cassatt
www.metmuseum.org/explore/CASSATT/HTML/index.html
Yup as I read she was a Unique woman who succeeded in what was in the nineteenth century a predominantly male profession, because she was the only American invited to exhibit
with a group of independent artists later known as the Impressionists.
That must of been quite an accomplishment.

the best sculptor ever is Alberto Giaocometti
he grew up after world wars and captured the raw essence of existence in tough times ...-
@JDh888 I have heard of him but not too much is coming up as link from Google about him...Bummer
www.modernismfinearts.com/inventory12.html
www.buendner-kunstmuseum.ch/kunststucke.cfm

-
Can I just say what a wonderful place this is to be. And a great escape from the murdered sex trade workers thread.
-
lol Nomadic. I agree 100%
-
hahahaha I'm with you Nomadic
I did click on the link and no offense but I ran like hell. lmao
-
-
@ Juenelle. That's great. Thanks for the info. I just love looking at her paintings - not deep I know.
-
@mariamichelle...Hey all I know is if it speaks to you, that's all that matters.
Who cares what anybody thinks?
Her work looks beautiful to me too but everyone likes what they like.
We had an exhibit of King Tut a few years ago here at the Museum of Fine Arts
and I absolutely loved it but my Grandmother hated it.
She said he wearing too much gold and he should repent. lmao
It was a rare treat to see the actual King Tut's Mask.
-
-
Alexander Calder is my favorite. Calder invented the mobile sculpture. His Mercury Fountain is awesome.-
@saraho wow interesting sculptures.
Another artist I haven't heard of but thanks for adding him, I find them fascinating.
I know he created Lithographs and I have a shop across from me that sells lots of original Lithographs.
They had a beautiful Josephine Baker Lithograph I wanted to purchase but it was already sold. Thank God it was cause I didn't have the $35,000 to buy it.

Harry is my favorite Potter - although Ginny is a close second...-
Ha! You crack me up...very funny.
-
@BennyGreenberg, I knew you would be dropping by, lmao
harrypotter.warnerbros.com/
Ginny en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginny_Weasley
I get the feeling this has nothing to do with art BG.
They are not artist. You trying to pull a fast one? -
They are so artists. Have you seen their work?

Favorites? That's a 'taste' issue, and my changes by the day. Hour, sometimes.
Here's a short list of recurring 'favorites.'- M. C. Escher
- Norman Rockwell
- Constantin Brancusi (particularly "Bird in Space" - www.metmuseum.org/TOAH/ho/11/euwf/ho_1996.403.7ab.htm )
- Salvador Dali
- Casper David Friedrich
-
@Norski absolutely right it's a taste issue.
I know some artist create art with trash and call it art
Norman Rockwell, Salvador Dali, sometimes you can pick up a nice print for grabs on Ebay from them both. Very interesting list you have here, I can see that your taste varies.
Personally I love Japanese basket weaving and Japanese sculpture.
Even some of the china (dishes) has a very distinct texture to it and it's very fine and light in weight compared to other pottery (dishes, plates) they are a lot heavier in weight and outer appearance. -
Oh, yeah!
East Asian pottery ("China," what else?! ) is beautiful.
You didn't mention traditional landscape paintings from that part of the world. I saw and looked at one for the better part of an hour, once, when I lived in San Francisco.
Then there's the African traditions, and ... there's a huge world out there. -
@Norski...Agreed...see I was waiting for someone to bring it.
Finally yes I love all that stuff and sure love variety.
I am now looking into purchasing a really cool door for my front door and it's carved Dagon.
African art stands and falls by the faith in which it's linked.
My condo has lots of pieces like this, carved woods from Africa, sculpture, pottery and fine china's, basket weaving but it's really hard to get a hold of some really cool basket weaving.
I think I still have some old art books of the two leading basket weavers in Japan.
I'll look for it and drop the info here in this discussion. This stuff is absolutely beautiful.
I tell you sometimes you get some really cool stuff coming through Ebay too.
I even picked up two authentic Masai shields and spear
which I used to run down my old landlord with when I was a renter back in the day. That was truly one of the funniest things I ever did.
Just picture a grown man running for his life screaming through a parking lot
trying to getaway from a crazy Chaka Zulu woman named Jeunelle. CLASSIC. -
I went to see the Dali Museum in St.Peterburg and really I should have hung a drool cup around my neck. I don't always like his imagery, but his technical skills are just stunning and the reasons behind the imagery fascinating. His brushwork, drooooooooooooool!
-
Correction Dogon.
Dogon is a tribe in Africa that tells some amazing tales
of serpents and other life forms descending to earth.

Dagon is totally different from Dogon
(Subterranean underwater God)H.P Lovecraft tales, Cthulhu, necronomicon, etc.

he could of been an architect too, very geometric, calculated shapes and angles.

Love the piece "Solitary Tree", from Casper
www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/friedrich/friedrich.solitary-tree.jpg -
Japanese Basket Weaving....this stuff is amazing.
www.lasieexotique.com/mag_baskets1.html
One of the most interesting types of Japanese basket weaving is called susu-dake, bamboo taken from the soot darkened ceilings of old Japanese farm houses. The rich natural Patina, this susu-dake is highly prized when woven in fine basketry and being highly prized,
with limited supply makes it highly expensive.
Here is a Link of THE 52nd EXHIBITION OF JAPANESE TRADITIONAL ART CRAFTS
www.nihon-kogeikai.com/KOGEITEN/KOGEITEN-052/KOGEITEN-052-SYUPPIN-E.htmlC
Check out the Kimono's another art form. The vases are absolutely beautiful. -
Japanese Kimono Art and Artist

An exhibit in Philadelphia
www.philamuseum.org/exhibitions/308.html?page=2
Books to read on Kimono's
www.marlamallett.com/kimonobooks.htm
This link gives you a little history of they different types or styles of kimono's.
Apparently there are lot's of different styles. Who wears what or which one.
Kuro Tomesode, Uchikake, Shiromuku, Furisode, Homongi, Haori,
Maru-Obi, Fukuro-Obi, Nagoya-Obi, it almost reminds me for some reason of India's caste system. Clothing is also used to determine your status. Obviously married women must wear
a certain style of Kimono's to distinguish them from the others or other kimono's.

@BennyGreenberg Yes I have and it sucks. lmao

VanGogh and Monet. I used to paint, draw and sculpt, but haven't had time recently.-

The Big P - Picasso. Wonderfully abstract 4th Dimensional view of life. I wonder how he imagined it?-
Picasso lived a very interesting life and truly was a great artist.
It's amazing how much money his art is worth from Christie's & Sotheby's auction houses.

kaslkaos.blogspot.com/
Oh and I paint -
My favourite artist is Kandinsky-
Carl - I knew you had good taste
-
Agreed Carl wow you are getting more and more interesting by the day.
Kandinsky work is brilliant. I love the colors in his work, how does he do that?

I really love the Pre-Raphaelite art from the late 1800s/early 1900s. They tend to tell mythic stories, or be influenced by literature/poetry, and I like that aspect of it, as well as the vibrant colors they tended to use.
Rosseti and Waterhouse are two of my favorites. I got to see a number of them at the Tate Gallery in London when I visited, and it was just amazing.-
I love Waterhouse. In college, my dorm room was filled with posters of his art. -
Mine too. I have slightly better framed ones in my house now.
Heh-- I jokingly CALL my house Waterhouse, which was a great little pun-- until I had plumbing problems. Then it wasn't quite so funny anymore. -
Yup love Waterhouse but I didn't mention Rosseti...here are some links.

www.dropbears.com/a/art/biography/Dante_Gabriel_Rossetti.html
www.rubycavalierfinearts.com/Gabriel_Rosseti/Gabriel_Rosseti.htm
The colors are gorgeous and looks similar to Waterhouse sometimes. -
Rosseti worked with William Morris occasionally, as well as Tiffany, so his work ended up on stained glass, in textiles and even book illustrations.
Thanks for including those links for folks, Jeunelle. -
@TSR...You're welcome
Yup So I've heard he worked for Tiffany.
William Morris, the great English Artist...hmmmm some links

I use to watch him on Channel 2 (WGBH) and fall asleep half way watching the show. -
he was THE MAN!
-
Come to think of it, there was another painter artist that came on Channel 2 (WGBH)
years before he did. I think his name was Alexander ????.
He was an older man that always talked about his wife,
favorite sayings were "Fire it in" and "pleshing blue",
he loved to mix colors and I think he had a french accent.
That guy was a riot too. Damn it sucks I can't remember his name.

My favorite works were by David. His one, I forgot the name (big surprise) was hanging in the Met in NYC. I think it's Death of Socrates.
My favorite current artist is my friend Artistic. I posted a drawing she did on my blog a while ago.-
The Death of Morat.
One of my favorites as well. -
This is on display in the Met.
David did a lot of death ones.
This is Socrates.
I like it because even as he faces death, he is teaching his students. -
Ah, I thought you were talking about:

@CrotchetyOldMan & Anok ...actually I love them both.
I certainly couldn't do either of them.
-
-
No one mentioned any potters. I have never seen any of his works in person, but I like George Ohr.

fredeinaudi.blogspot.com/
Also "Unspiration"....toilet paper and angels, what a combination.
Thanks for playing Erick.

I have to say that I am really glad to see some Links to other artists I wasn't aware of.
It's good to see new things and concentrating on something new,
gives you a new perspective that you normally would not see.
A special thank you to the BC members for taking the time to list your favorites,
especially the artist I never heard of before. -
Best sculptor ever...Gian Lorenzo Bernini
Painter - our very own Juan Luna
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoliarium
museumfoundationph.org/images/news/spolarium.jpg
Too bad there's no available higher resolution image on the net despite the fact that it was done in a huge 4x7-meter canvas. The images are blurred and lost its details. I think you have to see it in person.
We are the new breed of artists...we are the so called digital artists, that is Art blended with technology. But I admire the classic artists very much, they are the real talented ones.
