Which period of art is your favorite? What's your favorite picture, painting, sculpture, or exhibit?
Post-modernists need not apply.

I have a thing for Baroque and Victorian.

Hm, I suppose I'm a bit of a minimalist. Not from an art perspective, but from the perspective that I don't generally like to accessorize my environment; i.e. from my cloths to the things around me, objects in my environment have to have a purpose relative to a function.

That being true, I don't typically have a personally discriminating taste when it comes to art. If it appears to me that it has technical merit to the extent that it represents something the average person can't create, I tend to intuitively have an appreciation for it. To put it another way, I don't find that I discriminate over context when I enjoy art (which could be music, painting sculpture, etc.) I just enjoy it for what it is.

Again though, I don't typically surround myself with this kind of thing… Although I will say I'm rather fond of the underlying beauty found within [e.g] electrical schematics and mathematical equations, but I don't think I could get away with hanging those things on the wall.

I personally would call my preferred style of art to fall within Romantic Nationalism, I love the scenic imagery of the Scandinavian valleys and landscapes. My favorite artist are Hans Gude and Theodor Kittelsen, Theodor Kittelsen brought some of the most famous folklore of Scandinavia to life with his drawing and I've been intrigued by his drawings since I was a child.

I also have some personal good friends of mine who paint, One of who has a more modern take on the Romantic Nationalism I mentioned and then there's my cousin….

He started working as a concept artist at Funcom on the Conan MMo, He's drawn the cover for a LOTR game, Green lantern design and he even designed Bane himself for the Batman movie and He's now working on Mirrors Edge 2 for EA games.

I do believe his older artwork before he only did paid work were better though.

Scenery art is always nice. I remember an uncle of mine used to own a painting of three carracks on the sea. I always liked it.

Landscapes from any period are really my favourites. There's something about the natural beauty of Earth's elements that just catches the eye.

I've always really liked Raphael's The School of Athens. (1509-1511, Fresco) Unfortunately, every image of it I've encountered of it online has some weird poppycock done to the bottom left corner. Anyone know why that is, by any chance?


 No.4827

I believe that is because it is a mural and that down in the bottom is the doorway.

Oh, that definitely makes sense. Thanks for informing me, Mr(s). Anon!
