    Show us your faveorite art (pics)

    We are an industry that is all about visual stimulation. Other than porn share with us a bit of the art that you enjoy.

    I have to admit that I am not close to being 'artsy' but there are some artists to whom I have always been drawn.

    One of them is Keith Haring..when I step back and look at his works I have to admit that I don't always understand why I like them and why I am drawn to them but I have been since I was in my early teens. I think that is because that is when he was in the news because of his HIV/AIDS death back when HIV/AIDS deaths made the headlines and I became aware of him because of that publicity. Plus, he is from an area not too far from where I grew up.

    Anyway....a few examples:






    What are some of your favorite works of art?

      It was the base for a table in an ancient Roman house (the table top went on top of the griffins' wings). Currently on display at the Getty Villa in Malibu - soon to be returned to Italy.

      Carved from marble.

              about everything Dali made


              Same goes for Escher


              And this videoclip from Tool called Schism is also a gem imho. I consider this clip and this track art. Klick the pic for the video.

                  Dali is indeed cool...his stuff is the only stuff in the Tate Modern I can look at and not want to roll my eyes into the back of my skull.

                              Art discussion yummy.

                              Dali stands out as one of my favorite painters. I really enjoyed the surrealist movement. Veristic surrealism is going to make a comeback in the next 20 years I think. I was never a real fan of automatism, and there's nothing I find lamer than abstrct expressionism...

                              A couple of my top favorite paintings

                              Metamorphosis of Narcissus - Dali


                              Swans Reflecting Elephants - Dali


                              Madonna Of Port Ligat - Dali


                              and of course the staples like Persistence of Memory, I think Dali did most of his best work in the late 30's and 40's. Any pieces which really took the paranoiac critical method to it's extreme's are sure to be greats. there's too many Dali paintings i could post, but these are three of his better.

                              Then we have a few other good surrealists

                              Infinite Divisibility - Yves Tanguy


                              The Librarian - Martins De Barros


                              Castle Of the Pyrenees - Rene Magritte


                              Speedy & Speed - Mariola Bogacki


                              Genesis - Mariola Bogacki

                                          I think every American high school kid is required to go through an Escher phase.

                                                          This is true and reminds me of Ansel Adams who I think really managed to capture nature's beauty even in black and white photography.
