Zartonk Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 The Hovnatanyan family was the power house of Armenian portrait. S. Parajanov has a very interesting short film of his works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvestaked Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Here's another one. I believe this peice by Jan van Eyck is one of the best paintings ever produced in history. Needless to say, the computer image doesn't do it justice. http://www.artcopy-munich.com/bildo/3029.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anileve Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Velasquez...Goya style_images/master/snapback.png Azatyush, I know you are not going to like me when I say this, but I don't like them. I saw them at the Prado museum, and they didn't evoke anything but melancholy, but no the elaborate, spiritual and emotional, but rather dry, grim and dull. I am sorry. They just don't move me. I did like both Majas though, they were really magnificent. http://www.artnet.com/Magazine/news/ntm2/Images/ntm3-1-13.jpg http://www.bramarte.it/700/img/goy5.jpg And I have to say that you simply cannot appreciate them unless you see the painting in person, you become almost hypnotized. Absolutely no photos can do them justice. Not long ago I attended Max Ernst exhibit at the Met, I have to apologize to anti-surrealists but I find some of his stuff quite good. http://www.nicolarandone.com/arte/ernst/ernst1%20.jpg The one above I found absolutely terrific, a very controversial piece at that time, a mockery of religion. I believe it's the artist, Breton and Eluard by the window, brought many smiles to the museum goers. Not serious, but art with a statement nonetheless.

Anileve Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 How did I forget... Rene Magritte http://images.art.com/images/PRODUCTS/large/10090000/10090968.jpg style_images/master/snapback.png I just love this piece. I think it's an association with my chidhood. My mother had a postcard from her Hungarian (I think, could be German) admiror. As a child I always found that postcard mysterious and romantic, the image stuck with me. And a funny story. I dated a guy a loooong time ago who was very "smart" *ahem* (A lot has changed since the time when I used to go for pretty green eyes and a nice bod). I was touching his ear and telling him about Van Gogh's ear, after the story he exclaimed as if the wheels suddenly turned after years of heavy rust, "OH! I know, he's that action movie star, right?" (I think he meant Van Dam) Eeeeeh, at least he was a good kisser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvestaked Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) Strange thing about me, the moment I discover that a girl is dumber than a rat's dingleberry I lose all sexual attraction for her. It's happened many times that I thought a girl was pretty... and then she spoke. I can't help but view them as phyisically boring after that.

Arvestaked Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) I love Goya. He doesn't depress me; he makes me laugh. It was great how he made fun of nobility by painting them to look like imbeciles. He would essentially call them dorks to their faces and they would pay him for it. It's hilarious. http://www.european-history.com/jpg/goya_alba-tn.jpg http://www.exittoart.nl/goya/goya14.jpg Edited October 3, 2005 by Arvestaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can look at many of his portraits as an example of a modern day caricature. However, as "dramatic" art he doesn't move me, too gruesome.

Arvestaked Posted December 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 If I remember correctly, Breughel is the one that is very good and making very small paintings that are extremely detailed. Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Pieter Breughel. here you see him http://www.anothervision.co.uk/southvilleprimary/breugel_page.jpg Gorgeous. Recently I saw this piece by Ivan kramskoy in the Guggenheim. I have always loved the portrait below. Perhaps it's because I remember falling asleep in my grandmother's antique apartment with the woman's face looking at me. I remember feeling safe, I don't know why, something about her expression, something very familiar... Weird. http://www.artsstudio.com/reproductions/paintings/kra_unknown-lady-8-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
