The Fine Art Thread

[Anonymouse]

This piece by Carlo Crivelli is interesting. It appears there is a UFO in the painting.

Perhaps not the best in "fine art", this painting by Aert De Gelder shows what appears to be a UFO.




Of course, thanks to Mathew Hurley's website, this is all compiled and dated. Have a look.

Out of all the classes i've ever taken in college, Art History was the hardest. I think it was mostly the teacher that made it hard but it was still a very interesting class just a stupid teacher. If you are interested in ART then I highly recommend taking a Art History class.

I have to say that this is a wonderful thread!

Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist is take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning.

The Persistence of Memory by Dali is definitely my second favorite. My first is The Café Terrace at Night by Van Gogh He used no black colors for this particular painting and yet achieved to portray the night. ". . . here there is a night picture without any black, nothing but beautiful blue and violet and green, and in those surroundings the lighted square is colored sulphur yellow and limey green. . .”

Here is another one of my favorites.

Oh you see, I had Futtner and he was a very interesting professor, great oration skills, and great speaker, went through the periods very concisely. I loved it.

A friend of mine had Haynes, and she is as annoying as the Haynes briefs leaving marks on your belly from being too tight.

I have to say, I was debating between this and the Starry Night, and I ended up with that, no reason, just a matter of randomness.

But The Cafe Terrace at Night is perhaps one of the pinnacles of Van Gogh's achievements. The beautiful contrast from the dark blue sky at night, as it blends into the warm yet succulent yellow.

It's as if the strong contrast just pulls my inside from different directions, pulling a part of me to the yellow and the other to the blue.

What a delight!

Yes! Starry Night has certainly become my one of my favorites as well due to a certain encounter. The swirl of colors is magnetizing, yet like all of his art it exudes somewhat of a disturbing feeling and somewhat of an unexplainable energy.

He does create special light in his paintings to draw the most out of colors and their effects are immensely strong. Anon, I never thought I would say that, but I am starting to like you.
