I would be remiss if I didn't post at least one Doré in here.

Canto V.
" Into a place I came
Where light was silent all. Bellowing there groan’d
A noise, as of a sea in tempest torn
By warring winds. The stormy blast of Hell
With restless fury drives the spirits on,
Whirl’d round and dash’d amain with sore annoy.
When they arrive before the ruinous sweep,
There shrieks are heard, there lamentations, moans,
And blasphemies ’gainst the good Power in Heaven."

 

[Farawyn]

This gives me the feels.

Blue Nude, Pablo Picasso.

Girl With Blue Eyes. Amadeo Modigliani. One of the most evocative paintings I have ever spent time with

The image totally doesn't do it justice

Why do you like it so much?

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

A fun Picasso. She was the daughter of a friend, and he painted her with no mouth because he said she talked too much

Why do you like it so much?

In the original, you sort of see the background right through her eyes. As though they are completely transparent. It's a bit unsettling, but I like it. Makes me think

I wanted to start a thread where we could share artwork that catches our fancy. Favourite works of art, or things that we just stumble across as we surf. Whatever you find beautiful and want to share from the world of art

Here's one I just found that caught my eye.

Where I want to be today. Let me get lost in the green, the close forest air as it clings to my skin...

All my friends are heathens. Take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

Heathens by twenty one pilots
