What's your favorite painting? (1 Viewer)

I like almost everything van Gogh painted. One of my favorites is Church at Auvers.

There's only have one van Gogh hanging at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

Put me in a room with a van Gogh and I'll get choked up every time.

Van Gogh's "Starry Night"

JonZ, Frank Frazetta's the man, The Destroyer's one of his best fantasy paintings, and a fave of mine too.
Frazetta's 'The Barbarian', 'The Conqueror' and 'Death Dealer' are also superb examples of this genre, the man is a god.
Michael Whelan and John Berkey have done many incredible paintings in the SF genre, worth checking them out.
From classic art, I've always liked Constable's landscape paintings.

Definitely "The Scream"

I have no pic to link to, but you all know it I'm sure.

Steve,
Frank Frazetta lives and has a museum about 45 mintues from me. I was planning on going some time soon. If Im allowed to take pics Ill gladly send you some copies.

 

[Steve Christou]

Thanks Jon, museum? With the originals of those Frazetta paintings I've loved for years? Wow I'm a bit jealous, see if you can nick one.

The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymous Bosch. Maybe it was during that phase as a kid, but the detail and imagination really caught me.
This is a triptych, so you have the left, center, right, and outer wings.

Monet's Sunflowers

The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymous Bosch.

Great choice.

It's interesting that a thread like this has never been started before. As for me, I like lots of stuff by De Kooning, Rothko, and Roschenberg.

Stepping down from the plateau of high art, I confess to a fondness for Chesley Bonestell's lovely astronomical/space paintings.

You guys realize what a challenge this thread is to load at home when your iMac is very lean on memory and you're stuck with a lowly 56k/dial-up connection? My little iMac made it very clear to me he didn't like it.

Here, in the office, on a T1 line, it's all the difference.

And I'm getting a DSL connection later this week or early next week.

Welcome to broadband, Jack.

Hey how about that melting clock thing by Dali? That's pretty cool too. I'm having a mental block about the name of it at the moment.
