This one is my third favorite. Hagop Hagopian always evokes nostalgia in me. His style is almost melancholic but he captures Armenian landscapes like no other Armenian artist.
Originally posted by Anonymouse It's funny because this is indeed nostalgic, since that color of the wall, I could swear I've witnessed so much in Armenia.
Exactly! All of his work illuminates this melancholic feel. His landscapes vary from streets of Yerevan to the villages in the outskirts of Armenia. He portrays Armenia through this gloominess and yet this sense of home captures you as enwrap yourself in the details of his paintings.
His colors if you notice are not strong or bright, they are almost drained and tranquil at the same time and have this “definition”. You artists would be able to describe it better. Anon, his work is truly amazing, you should try to purchase his album, it’s breathtaking.
This one is quite famous in the world of Impressionism, and I take a particular liking to the intertwining of vibrant blues and oranges in this painting.
The Beach by Courbet is beautiful. It somewhat resembles the Coves in San Diego with the powerful waves of the ocean crashing into the cliffs breaking into numerous droplets of water. I like the painting, how about the “Michelangelo's David” Anon? ;D
I would like to see Arvestakeds work as well, he seems to gear more towards abstract art, I would guess.
