What is your favorite period of Art?

Franz Kline leaves me cold and irritated.

If we're talking abstract, I adore Vasily Kandinsky.

Wow! I like it, but I need to see it on a screen other than my tiny cell phone. Kandinsky must have had a devil of a time deciding on the placement of the discs. When Hans Hofmann was doing his series of paintings involving solid rectangles on top of an abstract background, he would cut out pieces of solid-color rectangles and temporarily pin them on the painting until he found the arrangement he liked.

The period in which there is good Art.

"Te Deum" by Hans Hofmann

I do not understand nude art, maybe I have not understood the art of the emperor.

I remember reading a lot about Hans Hoffman, but I didn't get it.

Tell us what is good art..

Maybe this will help you a little bit: I don't usually try to analyze paintings, but
this one struck me with a particular meaning. This one is called, "Memoria in eternum," and was painted as his wife lay dying. The rectangles in his paintings represent to me the human consciousness or presence, therefore, the geometrical shapes as in the logical. These are placed on top of the abstract forms representing nature. Now, in this case it appears to be underground.

After Hofmann's wife died and he remarried, this began, in my opinion, his most productive period with this style predominating.

Romanticism to Modern Art

I like certain surrealists, like Max Ernst and Yves Tanguy.

Thanks, I like that one..

I really like those. Which one is which?

The first one is Max Ernst.

Yes.

Top one is "The Eye of Silence" by Max Ernst.

Bottom one is "Multiplication of the Arcs" by Yves Tanguy.

I do not have any idea about that. Painting is a mode of creative expression, and the forms are numerous.

Stumbled onto the members only preview of the mixed media master, Robert Rauschenberg's exhibit at the MOMA yesterday.


Really glad I took the day off just for a dermatology appointment later that afternoon.

I guarantee that I will revisit this exhibit once it opens to the public. Pretty powerful and contentious stuff going on there. Some really great works, some pretentious trash. Great context provided by the museum.

I like relism works.Realistic painting is a unique artistic phenomenon in the process of artistic development. Realistic artists praised nature, praised labor, profoundly and comprehensively demonstrated the vast picture of real life, especially depicting the life and struggle of ordinary laborers. Who truly become the main image of the painting, nature also as an independent subject favored by the realist painter.

lot of"realism" is in the order of Magic Realism where the artists use all sorts of projection techniques to basically trace a detailed ketch with layout of the painting. Norman Rockwell did many illustrations that way by overlaying many many fotos of his models and then projecting in his studio.

I like plein air impressionist style cause its honest , no tricks, and where the artist is fully responsive to the color that lives in pure light

How to appreciate Art.
