ARTEMISIA! 
i wrote a 12 page paper on that painting comparing it to Caravaggio's version (  )
both her versions i find are far better, she captures Holofernes' (futile) struggle much better...  [Edited 3/12/08 13:34pm] [...i think i can, i think i can, i think i can...] | |

But Holofernes didn't really struggle, did he? I thought he was passed out/drunk when Judith beheaded him. (At least that's what I remember from my Narrative Art History class where we had to read the Bible story first then discuss how closely the artists followed the texts...) | |

Yes i believe he was asleep but both painted the scene in the same way - with holofernes awake and struggling i'm just saying that artemisia did a better job, considering..

I like a lot of Salvador Dalí paintings. 
Especially, "The Persistence of Memory" (©1931):

My favorite of hers I love that Kahlo but this one is more personal to me: 
No one can paint tears quite like Frida could. I also really like this video: It's a photo essay about eating disorders set to Moby's When It's Cold I'd Like To Die. I'm not really a depressed person in general but you really wouldn't know by the art I like.  [Edited 3/12/08 19:39pm] | |
