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:

  @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.

  There are lots of exhibits here in Boston

  @jafabrit... Caravaggio is one of my favorites, I really love real life art and how you can see

  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

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:

  @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

  Nomadic that sucks.
  We had an exhibit here in Boston a few years ago.

  @ 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.
6. 6/23/08

  @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.

  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.

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
I'm not that aware of sculpture, and less of pottery - not a value judgment on those forms, just how my interests developed.
[reply]
1. 6/23/08
  
  Jeunelle
  
  @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.
2. 6/23/08
  
  Norski
  
  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.
3. 6/23/08
  
  Jeunelle
  
  @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

  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.

  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

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.

  Rosseti worked with William Morris occasionally, as well as Tiffany, so his work ended up on stained glass, in textiles and even book illustrations.

Picasso is my all-time fave -- love the way his work evolved and how he evolved art -- also a big fan of Matisse, especially in his later years with the simple brilliance of his paper cut pieces -- then there is Chagall who takes extreme color to new and glorious heights. For the old masters painters - I don't think you can do much better than Rembrandt and his exquisite use of light. Obvious ones I know. But I love 'em.

  Salvador Dalí is one of the greatest to me. It´s amazing the way he reached an hiper-realism (almost photografic) in his paintings with the technique but more incredible is the fact that with the same technique (for some people it could be a paradox) he transports the spectator to a world of dream with all those elements wich integrate a concept: a world of dream made with objects wich in turn are made with an excess of realism.

Emma Serena "Queena" Stovall:

Emma Serena "Queena" Stovall was born in 1887 in rural Amherst county Virginia. She was dubbed Queena because it was easier to pronounce then Emma Serena. When Queena was 9 her father died and the family moved to Lynchburg, then a town of about 18,000. Queena attended high school but left early to go to work. At age 19, she married a promising businessman some 14 years her senior, and the couple had 8 children. She started painting at age 62, when she was already a great-grandmother. Queena is a Southern memory painter, who often portrayed her black neighbors as well as her own family. When she died in 1980 she had completed only 47 paintings. Queena has been written about, and a film has been made about her life. In March 1994 she was one of the artists in the exhibition "Grandma Moses' Southern Sisters: Queena Stovall and Clementine Hunter". Her work is in the permanent collection of the Fenimore House Museum.

I am the proud owner of one of her originals:

Hey Jeunelle, are you the queen of discussions or what? I have far too many favorite artists as I appreciate anyone who paints, sculpts, writes, dances or any celebration of human expression. Having said that, the first name to pop in my head is Salvador Dali. I love the bizarre and powerful:)

  @revellian....Dali is one of my favorites too and you can still purchase some really inexpensive Dali on Ebay. I notice that they do sellout at times but you can still find a Picasso or Dali for sale on Ebay at very good prices. The good news is if you do buy, you know their value will increase later as the years go by. Not a bad idea either if you want to leave something valuable behind for the family.

cave man---> i mean the "Neanderthal" our ancestors. It was the most primitive of all paintings, yet the most expressive and captivating 5.0/5.0

  YES I have to agree with you here also primitive or ancient african art.
