Anoushik Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 http://www.humanities.uci.edu/users/vfolkenflik/VRF%20Sources/Rembrandt%20St%20Paul.jpg I love this painting. It completely communicates to the viewer... By the way, did anyone go see the Rembrandt exhibition this summer at the Getty? I fell in love with his paintings all over again. http://www.grf.hr/kultura/_priprema/predodzbe/lik-1/renesansa-rokoko/barok/caravaggio.png I love Caravaggio. I remember that his realistic paintings had the most impact on me of that time period when I was taking art history in what seems like ages ago. I searched and searched but couldn't find the exact painting that I wanted to post. I don't remember exactly where I saw it, whether in the Getty or Norton Simon. PS. How do I make the first painting smaller? (Even though as it really is is very desirable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvestaked Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Frank Lloyd Wright was truly awesome. All of his work. If he were alive, I would work hard to be wealthy just so I can have him design a house for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvestaked Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 PS. How do I make the first painting smaller? (Even though as it really is is very desirable) You can always copy it to your HD, shrink it in an image editor, save it, and upload it to an image hoster like photobucket.com. Or you can look for the same painting as something smaller. Thanks for posting it big though. I copied it to my HD for use as a desktop bg.

It identifies everything "Armenia" to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 http://www.seapahn.us/seapahn/gal/paris/images/DCP_0168.jpg This was on display at the Louvre when I was there a few years ago.

Arvestaked Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 For Sarian, the one below is one of my favorites. Too bad it has a border and a watermark. http://www.agniart.ru/imgoods/K/012188/sarian-044.jpg There's another one I love but there is no image of it on Google images.

Arpa Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) I wonder why. style_images/master/snapback.png Sure you know why. Those are the ingredients of Mongolian Barbeque. Don't tell Sip that, he may go into dehydration salivating over it. In the meantime here is Sarian; Enjoy, and survey your favorite painting in gallery #4 http://www.armsite.com/painters/saryan/ Edited August 26, 2005 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zartonk Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Frank Lloyd Wright was truly awesome. Did you kow he was also a "seeker of truth" under Gurdjief? Briliant architect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvestaked Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I'll confess that I don't know much of architecture, but I just looked him up and he certainly has some interesting stuff. Yes, I do like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
