A painting I did as a teen and a rendering I did in college.

That's an actual building in Marietta, GA.  I think it's still there.  I have a fictional building of my own design, but haven't uploaded a copy of the drawing yet.

Teun Hocks. His painted photographic self-portraits never fail to delight me. Part-Magritte, part-Buster Keaton:

 



I also rather like Kahn & Selesnick, who specialise in long panoramic photographs depicting absurd imagined societies:

 

I'm also pretty big on Dada and related avant-gardery, but that's more to do with words, actions and art all colliding in one big noisy mess, which can't really be summarised by a bit of ineffectual googling.

I hate art, and that's why I love it.






That pictures makes me think of the one robot from WALL-E that's always looking for foreign contaminant.

The greatest Monet exhibition of the last three decades has just opened, here's a first review: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/8015094/Claude-Monet-exhibition-First-impressions-at-long-last.html


Just seen this exhibition last evening. It was amazing. Well, I've been looking at impressionist art for ages and by this time it's difficult for me to find "new" sides of it, but still, it was an amazing thing to see so many works from various corners of the world brought together in the same place. A chance of a lifetime.

Jugendstil, secession, art nouveau!

Damn, why we don't have 'Led Zeppelin font' in reply option?LOL

Klimt, Mucha, Schiele...they're gods.


I'm personally attached to 'Clair de Lune'...it resembles my girlfriend so closely that I feel uneasy:





I love art nouveau...and I don't have a clue what it is. I can't define it. But I know it when I see it. A few lines are enough:
Percussion, sir!

Seems like it's not the best time to be in the arts, in the UK at least.
