Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: gnu Date: 06 Apr 13 - 04:42 PM My fav ART is by M.C. Escher. Paint... Dali, hands down. The Beaverbrook Gallery in Fredericton, NB, CA has a huge Pegasus that I stared at for hours... stunning. Can't locate it on the net. BTW... in both above, I do not care for the extreme art... strange creatures or themes that make one wonder just how much of a dose they had when they thought those ones up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: DMcG Date: 06 Apr 13 - 06:02 PM There's a painting by Va Han Vuong - Mandolin - that I bought block-mounted as a student over 40 years ago. It's been in every place I've lived since then. I also own an original Monet. Unfortunately, It's Pierre, not Henri ... |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Bert Date: 06 Apr 13 - 06:58 PM My fave is one I bought from Sara Leighton in Bahrain. It is a pastel on plywood called Water Nymphs. I'll have to put a pic up on my website. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Bobert Date: 06 Apr 13 - 06:58 PM I grew up being dragged thru one gallery after another so by the time I was 10 or so I had seen one heck of a lot of art and knew who was whom in the art world... I guess I was about 13 or so when my mom took me to the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. where Dali's "Last Supper" was on loan... I couldn't get enough of it... That's my favorite painting...

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Rapparee Date: 06 Apr 13 - 11:58 PM Klee: Twittering Machine. One of several favorites. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: MGM·Lion Date: 07 Apr 13 - 01:21 AM Hard to establish an absolute favourite: but I would mention François Boucher's two close pastoral landscapes showing country pursuits like gathering cherries at Kenwood House in Hampstead; and the two versions of his 'nude reclining' portraits of the King's 14-year old Irish mistress Louise O'Murphy, one in Cologne and one in Munich (google wiki entry on Boucher &c). ~M~ Sorry to say that I still haven't mastered how to post these blasted blue clicky things, which will never work for me, grrrrrr & chizchizchiz... |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: MGM·Lion Date: 07 Apr 13 - 03:13 AM Thanks for the link, Jim. Have added one of my favourite paintings to it, The Thames At Richmond, early C17 by unknown Flemish artist in the Armoury at the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, in which a morris side is prominent. ~M~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: John MacKenzie Date: 07 Apr 13 - 05:44 AM Interesting stuff Jim, unfortunately so many of the links have now died the cyber death. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Pete Jennings Date: 07 Apr 13 - 10:21 AM Here you go, MtheGM: The Thames at Richmond. One of my favourite artists is Kathryn Thomas. Some of her work is just stunning. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Megan L Date: 07 Apr 13 - 11:35 AM Escher I like and when ever I get a chance to go home to Glasgow I take time to visit "Christ of st John of the cross" by Dali. For me however Jessie m King or the MacDonald sisters Francis and margaret and the works of the Glasgow Boys top the bill |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: MGM·Lion Date: 07 Apr 13 - 01:25 PM Thanks, Pete. I had actually given the link on the other thread ~~ the 'folk music & dance in art' one above the line. To be a bit pedantic, Escher not a painter. But I agree his perverse & strange images & games with perspective & the nature of reality are fascinating. ~M~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 07 Apr 13 - 01:49 PM Lawren Harris Many that I like, but "Lake Superior" is my favorite. http://bertc.com/g11/harris7.htm or "The Ice House, Lake Superior." http://bertc.com/g11/harris8.htm |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: JohnInKansas Date: 07 Apr 13 - 05:57 PM While I never thought of it as "my favorite" I've had the same picture on my desktop for a couple of years now, so I guess I must like it. Unfortunately it's identified as being in a "private collection" and I haven't found a linkable image, although I got it from artrenewal.org sometime ago. ARC requests no links to images, but it's at the top of this page. Gerrit van Honthorst, Netherlands, Baroque, b.1592 - d.1656 A young woman playing a viola da gamba (Of course my only interest in it is because of its musical theme, although she does have a very nice smile.) By "popular demand" (and as a "survival tactic") I created a similar desktop for Lin, but it's photo of Willie and doesn't qualify for the thread subject. John |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: MGM·Lion Date: 07 Apr 13 - 07:23 PM I love the little joke in Jan Gossaert ['called Mabuse'], St Luke Painting The Virgin. St Luke's hand is guided by an angel's as he paints the Virgin, borne aloft on a cloud by baby angels. If you look closely, you can see expressions of strain & agony on these little angels' faces, because she is too heavy for them... It's in the Kunnsthistoriches Museum in Vienna. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Mabuse |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: pdq Date: 07 Apr 13 - 10:13 PM "My fav ART is by M.C. Escher. Paint... Dali, hands down." ~ gnu Argh! I agree on both. I also like Remington and Charlie Russell for Western art. |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: number 6 Date: 07 Apr 13 - 10:37 PM Well ... I'm going to throw a spanner in the works into this thread (typical Madcat style) and put a plug in for my favourite photographer Stephen Shore Presidio, Texas biLL |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Bobert Date: 07 Apr 13 - 11:15 PM I don't do clickies by Richard Estes is in a class of his own... BTW, Rap... Klee has always been one of favorites... He was a Jew in the wrong place in the wrong time... He died in 1939 having been removed from his position as an art professor in Germany... His 1938 works, of which I have one, are very optimistic and good considering what was going on around him... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: MGM·Lion Date: 08 Apr 13 - 02:00 AM 'Favourites', esp 'non-typical', can of course include the many originals I own from professional painters in my family & immediate friends. I have portraits of my first wife Valerie & me: in oil on panel by Nick Barnham, an ex teaching colleague who has exhibited widely, incl the RA I think, mainly but not exclusively landscape, which date from the late 1960s; and in watercolour by our late neighbour Judith Dale, who has also held many exhibitions. My late sister-in-law Wendy St Leger (née Godwin) trained at Lydney Art School & Central, and then went to live in SF & Chicago, where she married; in both she made a good living painting people's houses to order; I specially value an SF painting, House On Franklin And End Of Larch, from early 1960s [Valerie & I took the trouble to go and look at the house when we were in SF 10 years ago]. My uncle Hyam Myer, who studied at the Slade under Tonks & had his first exhibition to some acclaim at the Alpine Gallery at age 19 in 1923 (I have a gossip-column from the Evening Standard in 1923 which lists, among the distinguished guests at a party given by the Constant Lamberts, "Hyam Myer the 19-year-old artist") was well-known between the wars, exhibiting at the RA & in all the principal London galleries; for alphabetical reasons his name follows that of Henry Moore on the list of members of The London Group in their exhibition catalogues. I have many of his works. I also have two bronze-style heads [actually an ingenious sort of cast-cement], 1970s, of Valerie and me, by Tony Hill, who lived in Cambridge but is now in SW England & quite a well-known sculptor. All these I would natch list as 'favourites', even if 'non-typical'. ~Michael~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Favorite Painting (non-typical) From: Jack the Sailor Date: 08 Apr 13 - 04:00 AM I have a print from a graphite (pencil) sketch of Doc Watson's hands playing a Martin dreadnaught on the wall behind me. I bought it in Kerrville, signed by the artist. I like it. |
