  I think my favorites are Klimt, Renoir, David, and the Dutch guy with all the really dark paintings, whatshisname, on the cigar boxes. Do you ever get a mental block like that? The name just won't come, and the guy is so famous. Happens to me all the time. Rembrandt for Chrissake. I thought Dutch, I thought Van something, and there it came.

  those are some of my all time favorites...*laughing* i'm sure there are more ...but...well....i could go on forever.
  
  waterhouse is by FAR my favorite.
  

• Fallyn said on Nov 23, 2007....

  rembrandts paintings are so dark, and ornate......i respect the talent of a master...but they don't really speak to me.
  
  i looked up constable....my god....those are breathtaking. like out of a storybook.
  
  picasso isn't one that has spoken to me either......but guernica is exceptionally powerful.....even if it isn't aesthetically pleasing to me.
  
  klimts work is beautiful and stunning......but not in my favorites.

  fallyn - i think the one i'm most fascinated with right now is picaso. for years, i hated his paintings. i just did not see what was so spectacular about them. they looked like something done by a drunk 5 year old! but i discovered last year that i was missing something. it was kinda interesting. i was reading one of my school books, and there was a picaso pictured in it. so i decided to try to figure out exactly what it was that everyone always raved about. i stared and stared at that picture for about 10 minutes. and suddenly, it jumped out at me! nobody had ever told me, and i had never read, that picaso was painting in 3D! those strange angles and lines, when you focus properly, cause the image to pop right out of the frame! he is brilliant to have figured out how to do that! now i love his work :-)

• Mamie said on Nov 23, 2007....

  Bollinger...and I like how he includes TYL after his signature on each piece...it stands for Thank You Lord...for his gift/talent, how cool is that?

• Twylarants said on Nov 23, 2007....

  Caravaggio is brilliant and my favorite.  I love Monet and Munch, and my son brought a print of Van Gogh's "Irises" back from Amsterdam last year for me.  He has "Starry Night" hanging in his kitchen.  I have to steal it next time I'm there.

• Fallyn said on Nov 23, 2007....

  ed, i like the subject matter, never been big on the little dots effect though.
  
  trav...yes! he is! *grin* .......it's very interesting! .......just still...not something i love to look at.
  
  mamie...is that richard bollinger? still lifes and landscapes with houses? not very familiar with that one.
  

• Fallyn said on Nov 23, 2007....

  caravaggio is brilliant.....again more opulent than what i like.....but a master ...especially in realism.
  
  there are a couple of monet's i really like.
  le dejeuner sur lherbe, is one.
  but my favorite of his is rue montorgueil.......
  other than just a few individual pieces i'm not really into impressionism.
  he was a favorite of mine when i was first studying it though.
  
    i have van gogh's  cafe terrace at night hanging in my kitchen.
  

• travelr712 said on Nov 23, 2007....

  fallyn - i also like most of what i've seen of salvador dali. i can stare and stare at his pictures, and always find something new in them.

• Fallyn said on Nov 23, 2007....

  dali is awesome. soooo odd. he fascinates me.....some of his paintings are disturbing too.

• travelr712 said on Nov 23, 2007....

  fallyn - yeah, it's like, 'welcome to the dark side!'

• Fallyn said on Nov 23, 2007....

  dark yes...but surreal. almost like you can feel yourself walking in this odd world that doesn't work quite properly.

• gingersoul said on Nov 23, 2007....

  LF.....lol...are you talking about Van Dyck?

  My favorites are so many...let's see.....

  Miro', Matisse, Giotto, Piero Della Francesca, Caravaggio, Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli, Botero, Klimt, Van Gogh, Bosch, Brueguel, Modigliani, some Picasso, some Dali', Georgia O'Keefe, the obscure painters who created the stunning murales in any Pompei villas, the Hopi artists.....and so many others...        

• Fallyn said on Nov 23, 2007....

  do you mean  jan van eyck?
  
  ginger....i really don't know how i could have forgotten botticelli!
  
  bosch is a bit too strange even for me.
  
  i like brueguel....but not something i'd consider a favorite.
  
  the portrait of maude abrantes is the only thing of modiglianis that i really like.
  
  okeefes are beautiful ...but not..."me" somehow.

  I'm a fan of Mari Giddings, and I also like Georgia O'Keefe.

• wombat said on Nov 23, 2007....

  I love Monet.  I bought a book of his paintings and sometimes just flip through and look at them, as it makes me feel good in a way that is hard to explain.  I love any good art--by that,  I mean as long as I understand it.  Six dots on a black wall (going for thousands of dollars)  does not do much for me.....

• Mamie said on Nov 23, 2007....

  yes, Richard Bollinger: I don't get out much and he is local to the suburban philly area...:) He captures the beauty of the area with such finesse, I feel peace with each piece.

• lfbno7 said on Nov 23, 2007....

  There's a song called Georgia O by the Nields. "I wanna be a woman like you." The song also mentions Ani DiFranco in it.

• gingersoul said on Nov 23, 2007....

  LF.....Ani is your favorite singer.....

• lfbno7 said on Nov 24, 2007....

  Yeah, Ani is my favorite singer of all time, edging out Dylan, the Beatles, and Dar Williams.

• hotaka said on Nov 24, 2007....

  I am afraid I know little about painters but I went to a Monet exhibition a few months ago and I was impressed with several works. I used to be a big Dali fan but the same paintings keep appearing in calendars and books so I kind of lost interest. Van Gogh has some interesting works and there's a Dutch painter whose name I forget but he painted everyday scenes in Dutch life that capture history very well. I also like H.R. Giger for the realistic creepiness of his works. Stephen Lyman (spelling?) was a technical wizard in that his landscape paintings often looked like photographs from a bit of a distance. Sadly he died while mountain biking in the Cascades in his mid-thirties. A woman I know who is not famous is really good too. She handles light very well. Her name is Betty Schwartz and can be found on Art Wanted.com.

• crybabylu said on Nov 24, 2007....

  I agree with  hotaka, monet is nice.  but I still love to stand in an art museum and stare at the Picaso because the more you look at one, the more you see in it.

• Twylarants said on Nov 24, 2007....

  Fallyn...I like Cafe Terrace too.  And your kitchen is where exactly?

• Fallyn said on Nov 24, 2007....

  ferny....i'd never heard of giddings...those are beautiful.

  wombat. *laughing* art is subjective.

  mamie....nice!

  hotaka...wow.....i love it....giger is different!

  i think i've seen some of lyman's before....they are very realistic.

  i looked at the betty schwartz paintings.....i actually recognize the one of agate beach. *laughing*

  twyla, washington? or is that what you meant?

• hotaka said on Nov 24, 2007....

  Betty is an amazing person. She's 85 or 86 and still kicking bottom. She's cool! I like a lot of her paintings too. As I said, she captures light very well.

• Fallyn said on Nov 24, 2007....

  hotaka....i noticed a LOT of light in her paintings.....captured very realistically.

• wantingmore said on Nov 24, 2007....

  I like Edouard Manet and Georgia O'Keefe. Infernal...have you been to the GO museum in Santa Fe? Fabulous!!!

• Fallyn said on Nov 25, 2007....

  i do like manet an awful lot.

• crybabylu said on Nov 25, 2007....

  hello Fallyn.  So it looks like you are still up and posting.  Me too......lol, dee

• Fallyn said on Nov 25, 2007....

  you still up dee?

• wantingmore said on Nov 25, 2007....

  Dee and Fallyn...I'm up too! Hope you ladies are both doing well.

• Fallyn said on Nov 25, 2007....

  wanting...absolutely....but going to bed now.

   

• Twylarants said on Nov 25, 2007....

  Fallyn- Washington State right?  No, that's to far to go to steal a Van Gogh print.
  I'll just have to steal my son's.
  

• Fallyn said on Nov 25, 2007....

  *laughing* it's a cheap one anyway. i'm poor.

• wantingmore said on Nov 25, 2007....

  This blogging thing really keeps one up all night, doesn't it?! The time just slips away! I have my favorite Manet print framed...The Balcony. I saw the exhibit at the Met years ago. It was wonderful. My favorite Georgia O is an unusual one that I wish I could get a print of, but can't find. It's in the permanent collection at the museum in Santa Fe. It's a simple, yet beautiful rich blue sky background with a white ladder. Striking... I don't remember the name.

• Fallyn said on Nov 25, 2007....

  wanting i KNOW it really does.

  ooooh that okeefe sounds really nice. i think i remember seeing it.
