Exhibit your favourite pieces of art
(paintings, sculptures, installations, short films, music, architecture, etc and whatnot)
- and/or your own if you're an art maker and like to!

If you like tell something about what you posted:
how you see it, what it means to you, how it influenced you, ...

~~~~~~~~

Pandora by Odilon Redon

It's the moment before she opens the box.
My friend had to draw me away twice from this painting
- I get totally lost in it when I look at it for a time.

This painting has always moved me.
It shows what I imagine the release from madness would feel like.

Stephi_B · 02-26-2008, 08:23 AM

Manet's Olympia

I'm fascinated by her face.
For me it expresses strong self-consciousness, sadness / disillusion
and some totally natural (imo positive) cheekiness / will to provoke.

~~~~~~~~

Picasso's Dora Maar

I'm intrigued by the colours he used.
Dora Maar, at least as painted by Picasso,
is the doppelganger of my chica.

~~~~~~~~

Frieda Kahlo - The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth (Mexico), Me, and Senor Xolotl

Fractal love - it's just beautiful! My fav of Kahlo's

Sculptures by Eduardo Chillida, p. ex.

Berlin

Buscando la Luz

De Musica IV

Even if I sometimes don't really get them,
I dig the forms he uses and the rusty quality.

Has any other painter captured so well that "Take me, I'm yours!" look?

Veruki · 02-27-2008, 01:49 PM

Modigliani, I'm in love with his use of color

Frieda · 02-27-2008, 01:56 PM

gustav klimt's tree of life

artist unknown, alas

I sure hope it's on velvet.

brightpearl · 02-27-2008, 02:41 PM

I miss the ORG and would like to see more drawings from you lot, so in that spirit I'm posting one of mine.

It's one of my favorite things I ever did, came out like it was in my head.

I propose that artsy fartsy photographs are game for the posting.

Frieda · 02-27-2008, 02:48 PM

i can't draw

A Gesamtkunstwerk (imho

)

Alexanderplatz

The place where I feel good.

brightpearl · 02-29-2008, 09:00 AM

^^I have the worst time with Jackson Pollack. I so want to enjoy them, but they somehow remind me of migraines. Whenever I look at one, I have to get really close to it and look at only one tiny section at a time, or I quite literally start to feel pain and nausea.

I think I read somewhere that he had migraines himself, and I wonder whether that's true and if he was painting them?

This is my favorite spot I've come across -- the orange bit in Full Fathom Five.

Veruki · 02-29-2008, 11:53 AM

^I know exactly were your coming from, but I have a color obsession so I'm drawn to his work.

btw, that spot has to be one of the most remarkable spots. It's like an oxymoron to the piece, I love it.
