Please post up visual art you enjoy, I am going through a terrific Piet Mondrian spell at the moment following a recent field trip to IMMA where I was reminded of his works. I would be interested in exchanging ideas with fellow art historians and enthusiasts.

close this thread
, sharp as a tack. Good point well made m8.
As much for the sybolism as the art itself but:
The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Up to your ears in symbolism
What were ye saying about symbolism
It’s like you read my mind, I was thinking of Rothko earlier.

Richard Estes, Telephone Booths, I saw this baby in Madrid.
francis danby: the opening of the 6th seal
can be seen in the national gallery
bosch: the garden of earthly delights
Turner:
Superb stuff here from Van Eyck…the dog represents fidelity, the devotional candle burns alone, the shoes represent the sanctity of marriage. The artist himself stands as a witness to the marriage and appears in the mirror.
This one is much better

Jasper Johns’ Flag was touchingly dedicated to Flano by the artist in a moving speech at the Royal Academy.
That’s quality. I bought a print of that in MOMA a few months ago. My postcard of it also adorns my desk in work. Quality. Jasper is an alright sort.
MOMA is top notch. I bought the very same print when I was there in 2008 and it’s been on the wall since.
The only thing I didn’t like about the place was the need for ID to get one of the headsets, they didn’t take passports though so I’ve no fucking idea how a tourist would go about getting one. This was another one of my favorites from MOMA
Drowning Girl
by
Roy Lichtenstein
Lichtenstein, superb Flano, superb.
Dali’s Hallucinogenic Toreador is a thing of wonder.
