It's the Queensborough Bridge. One of my favorites as well. I used to have a poster of it but it got trashed during a move. :(
 
Botticelli then? I've always thought he had things backwards.

I don't know that I could pick a single favourite painter, there are so many and so many different styles that it would be very difficult to narrow it down.

I was reading some about Botticelli tonight....I've always loved his paintings. Such beautiful detail.

Which painters produce(d) work that fascinates you? Why?

I'm a big fan of Andrew Wyeth. I also love Van Gogh, but not those prints you see all over the place. The real life paintings, with brush strokes, and beautiful colors. Also like a lot of the Hudson River spawned artists.

My tastes are incredibly varied. Manet, Toulouse-Latrec, Da Vinci (NOT overrated!) Jackson Pollack, Dali, Rembrandt (talk about working with light!).

There is just so much good stuff out there and for so many different reasons. Example: look at Rothko in a book and you say "Why?". Stand in front of one and you go, "oh, that's why..."

I assume you're speaking of this Remington:

that's him :)

His bronze sculptures are awesome. One you would love. an indian brave with his war lance, head bowed. It's very evocative of the tired man after a battle. Also special because the horse is standing only 9on one leg, the entire weight of the scukpture rests on the lance.
 
I love Georgia O'Keefe. Her work has such intense color and is so striking. She is called a surrealist, but I think she is an ultra realist. She takes found items and makes them more real. Iwish she were still alive to make more stuff.

Colly, if you like his work, maybe you would be interested in a fairly famous Montanan artist Named Charles Russell. He's really well known in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and the Dakotas. I have found that when I was growing up he was a very big deal in Montana, but the further south I come, the less he is known of. His works are really tremendous. He actually lived with and among native Americans and a lot of his Art is from his experiences.

I love Piccasso's early works too. So emotional.

I often wonder if he sold out to make money b/c his really beautiful emoting art work wasn't enough to let him live.

Sold out??? by creating the cubist movement. Not at all, he reached his peak and fufilled a cycle by going back to primitive art. His study of primitive masks set the stage for cubism.

I wasn't insinuating his other stuff wasn't good and often interesting, just that it didn't seem to draw emotion as much as his earlier subjects.

Understood but you have to admit Guernica was a powerful piece.

Point taken.:kiss: It was awesome but not something I would want on my wall. It was very powerful though.
