Thought it would be interesting to open a thread on all art and talk about all our favourite pieces/artists. I only recently discovered the work of Francesca Woodman. Here's her "self portrait at 13"  |

I'm not very keen on typical work with Jesus Christ by Peter Paul Rubens, but I do love one he made of his second wife and son. I don't know the title, but it has a completely different view of his work and it has such warmness and love for his wife and son.
I'm a big fan of Banksy, but don't like to talk about him/his work since everybody seems talk about him.

I'm a big fan of Netherlandish Proverbs by Bruegel. There's so much to see in that painting. I have it as my background on both my work and personal laptop.
Also a big fan of Hieronymus Bosch, Dali and that kind of stuff. Wouldn't want it on my walls though.

It's like a candyshop of horrors. |

I would love to be able to paint and be knowledgable in painting history and culture. Since I'm absolutely useless at drawing, let alone painting, I guess I'll have to try my best at achieving the latter.

Since I'm absolutely useless at drawing, let alone painting, I guess I'll have to try my best at achieving the latter. There are some fun art docs about which are a breezy way to drink in some of the history. For modern art only, Robert Hughes' old but never outdone mini-series "The Shock of the New" is both remarkably entertaining and full of perspective on how art and history entwined so deeply in the 20th Century. Although it belongs to the BBC, it's not on iPlayer for some reason, but all the episodes are available for free on YouTube (as of now.) |

 Caspar David Friedrich's 'Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer'. I was lucky to see it in the Hamburg Kunsthalle when I was a teenager with my german class, one of those paintings that can make your interest for art grow at that age. |

Since I'm absolutely useless at drawing, let alone painting, I guess I'll have to try my best at achieving the latter. The current period has made it more difficult lately, but going to museums is still imo the best way to learn about art or more exactly, to start loving art. As a child, I found museums totally boring (like a lot of childs I guess  ) but one day it just clicked. Also, let's be honest, museums and Art in general suffer of the reputation from being only for patronizing elitists pricks siping their champagne while some museums don't cost much to visit (I think even my little town has one in which you only have to pay about 3/4 euros, and I heard that some museums like Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery are totally free). Art is for everyone cos' I think the goal of it is not to show off your knowledge but to open yourself to new ideas, ways of thinking, to broaden your imagination or even just being moved by it. I'll add that even as much more outdoor person, I find museums to be some of the most relaxing places. Also, I'm like you, I feel like my drawing and painting skills are close to zero |
