Show me a work of art that you like from an artist.



I'll start.



H.R. Giger. Very repetitious, and oversexed at times, but I love it despite.

Warhol - Knives

Nice one Carrie. Do you harbor angry feelings towards anyone?
Is there an orger you particularly dislike that you're trying to send that message to.

No. I just really like Warhol and I like black and pink.

The Arch by Alexander Calder

It is gorgeous in person

Banksy

I actually have a small collection of prints of John Willie's bondage illustrations and photography (from the 30's and 40's). I have a bondage-themed bathroom.

The Olive Trees - Vincent van Gogh

i can't wait to see this building ...

National Swimming Centre
2008 Olympics
Beijing, China

I had a chance to see a lot of Van Gogh's stuff a few weeks ago. It was great. In front of an original, you really get a sense of use of color much more so than in print.

Like, Giger there's eroticism and phallic imagery all over his stuff. It's even apparent in that picture. Unlike Giger, it's a celebration of sexual power, rather than a perversion of it. I'm jealous you got a print. I should have forked out the money. I hope he grows his gallery cause it's wonderful stuff.

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

Love his stuff.


But I found out about him when watching "Dying Young" starring Julia Roberts and Cambell Scott.

I love looking at this picture, it's so romantic and erotic! Just the way the man touches the woman's face! Amazing!

l'arlésienne (madame ginoux with books)



still life with a plaster cast



still life with bible and french novel

LazarusHeart said:

To tell you the truth, I don't know . This piece is located in upstate New York and there are many pieces by Calder in this outdoor museum. I remember that I read that he liked having them outdoors because there were no height limitations. It showed because The Arch is humongous.
