Several by Monet just miss out, as do some of the other great Chinese paintings (Song dynasty etc).
I'd be interested in others' tastes here; and hopefully many of the paintings chosen can be found somewhere on the net?
I love/have almost everything by Edward Hopper and Jack Vettriano. (either as painting, poster, or card)
Edward Hopper Info
Jack Vettriano art
I love art---impossible to pick a favourite, but those are my top two...
L
Almost anything by David Prentice
same for Kurt Jackson
then Barbara Rae
David Tress - Welsh painter
all contemporary and google-able
Rodin's drawings
Klimt
Egon Schiele's drawings
Rembrandt's self portraits - so full of character and the paint quality - wow!
Monet's Giverny paintings and the railway stations
Turner's amazing sketch books that are soooooo contemporary they are incredible
Turner wind speed steam - i may have the title a bit wrong but the one with the train and the hare running down the track that you have to look hard to see and it all dissolves in light
Modigliani - they glow incredibly in the original
Klee
Late Cezanne's
Gwen John
and loads more!
There are some pretty good local artists too - if you search the Axis database and choose the east midlands region you'll see.
my favorite is whatever im looking at right at this moment.. Hey Vivien. seems these kinds of threads get reduxed every so often. still a good exercise though. (I lost the Prentice URL when We had a bad storm , glad I can resave)
I saw a painting, years ago, that I thought was entitled Der Postagent Hausler.
And I seem to recall the artist's name as Alber Birke, yet when I search for either the name of the painting or the artist I come up empty.
Obviously I must have the names wrong. Does anyone know the painting I speak of?
Thanks for the overwhelming response, everyone!
I surely would be lost without you good people.
4 Horsemen- Duhrer
anything by Goya
anything by HR Gieger
anything by T.E. Britenbach (local artist)
