"Valkrie9" reminds me of a former Pennock's forum member who was banished by the forum's moderator and owner, not all that long ago.

The resemblance in terms of the messaging is not so close as to make me think that "Valkrie9" is that same person, reincarnated (so to speak) with a new screen name.

He wasn't banished (banned) because of a proclivity for creating unusual or "out of the blue" Topics, though. Like this Art Appreciation topic.

Just to be clear.

I saw this, and many others at both Maritshuis and the Van Gogh museum. The French like to talk about how the renaissance is all about them, but the Dutch have as many famous painters as the French do. Rembrandnt, Van Gogh, etc., and of course... Jan Vermeer.

Not "the classics", but no one will be surprised that my favorite artists are from the early- to mid-twentieth century.

Perhaps you recognize the sharp dressed man, ran a heavy machine company up here in Scarberia, an avid golfer, fitness buff, pilot, diver.
Former undersea welder, gas and oil exploration, made and did it all, a super achiever, a Scot.
Working with him was a great experience, no bs, zero tolerance for pseudo intellectuals, those posturing imbeciles, the fakes.

Strange that some humans are incapable of appreciating the works of man, describing their world, with color.
I've been enamored with the Pearl Girl since I first saw her in the '50s, my young school teacher resembled her,
and why I posted her, the yt catching my attention for the first time today.
Amazing.

I kind of thought the same thing... the messaging seems interesting and rather wild. What former user was that?

The Pythagorean's theorem is an interesting choice for an avatar... but can't say mine is oddly unique either.

I did not mean to insinuate anything negative about Valkrie9, who is topping the charts of late, in terms of posting activity in the Off Topic section.

He is eclectic in his range of topics. That reminds me of Boondawg. But beyond that--his style--not Boondawg.

30 years ago I was in a poster shop and saw a poster of a beautiful painting....I bought it and a few years later was able to go to a showing of the artist's works...I had a picture taken of me standing in front of the original painting (And was then told "No flash photography" and felt bad)

The painter is Albert Bierstadt....He was painting at the very beginning of the photographic era; The paintings had become excruciatingly realistic.....But when Anyone could take a photo, the Impressionist era began, so for years his paintings were actually looked upon with disdain.

One painting of his that I saw was of a river bank; Trees overhead cast their shadow on the surface of the river- And on the river BOTTOM! To this day I cannot understand what I saw but it left me in awe of his ability.

Here is the original painting that got me hooked- "Among the Sierra Nevada, California";

Realism.
Incredible skills, and to this day still amazes viewers at the artist's ability to move what they see, into, onto a flat canvas.
At the time, his works were not believed, some denying such places could exist in reality, incredulous.
A natural cathedral, the clouds billowing in an exhilarating sky, makes you consider the divine purpose.
The Pearl Girl is a singular masterpiece 356 years later, Verneer has done many others, the Girl in the Red Hat is another I like.

How to break the internet with an art sale:

• Download photo from internet
• Posterize in PhotoShop
• Print out large posters at Staples
• Scribble and splash finger paint on poster
• Sign poster
• Frame
• Put on internet for sale



I put Johnny's image of Elizabeth Taylor (which is basically a modified copy of a Warhol image) into my AI program and came up with my own image.

We went, last week, to view the Claude Monet exhibit in the Atlanta art center.
It was interesting. Not really my thing, but interesting, nonetheless.
Last year there was a similar exhibit, featuring Vincent Van Gogh, elsewhere in town.
Both exhibits were well done, featuring original paintings, 360 degree videos in another room, and VR, in yet another.

I would like to see a similar display for the work of Roger Dean. (Think "Yes" album covers.)

I really enjoyed reading Edgar Rice Burroughs stories. Not really into Tarzan, but I liked the Mars/John Carter series and Venus series....My favorite though was "At the Earth's Core" (Do NOT watch the "movie"- it is absolute crap!!!) and the first sequel, "Pellucidar"...

Anyway, lots of illustrations in the books, but there was a famous illustrator who concentrated on ERB; Frank Fazetta...Here is a couple of examples;

The demand is there for an animation artist to portray Frank's women in action, R and X rated, make a few million.
A storybook writer's new meaning in life, plot lines placed in significant historical timelines, say, 15th century Romania,
or perhaps Mars in the late 19th, steampunk tripping.
... yes, yes, it is art.

' Prohibition Perks ' by Jeffrey Sparr.

Scantily clad women of the future, when there will be no, uh, art censorship as in the past.
As in the past, the planet will be much warmer and far, far greener !
Artists thought it up, like other science fiction dreamers, futurist imagineers, planners, designers.
Those are not men, they are robots.

' Fly ? That will never fly ! '
~ The Wright Brother's neighbor, watering a cow, holding a shovel.
..
It was in the mid '60s when I first noticed Frazetta's artwork, a few movie ads.
Naturally interested in the human forms he painted, their physiques, and uh, uh, uh... shapes.
See, it is not real, is it an impressionist's depiction of the light bending, bouncing, to the viewer's eyes.
What the viewer thinks they see is determined by what they think is true, or not, the information received and processed, mentally.
Art critic courses are available at local colleges, learning what art is, paint, mediums, color, light.
All the relevant truth that Frank learned at age eight, in '36.


I am still puzzled by some art, and ideas, like, piercings and other self mutilations, makes me wonder what they think.
Must be the drugs and ignorance, right ?

Since this thread has strayed into fantasy and advertising "art", I have to say that the following ad just cracked me up.
(no pun intended)


There is so much that could be read into this.

It reminds me of a story Tab Benoit told on stage about how his rent-a-car didn't have a CD player. It was absolutely hilarious, but even if I could remember it, I couldn't tell it on a family forum.
