De Stijl!! What style of art do you favor and why?

Sorry, meant to put this link up - http://www.culture.gr/2/21/215/21505/215051/2150513/e21505119h.html

Sargent's are lovely. Really like the little girls. I had heard of him,but didn't have a reference of what his work was like.

osso-- I do like the Fauves. After looking into some of the different styles, many of them are so closely related to other movements, you can't really set one apart--without finding another similar.

Suck a wealth of good stuff here.

Thanks for dropping by Boomerang. Pull up a chair.

i'm a designer .. i designe 3d movies and cartoons so that's what i like in art!

these are two of my favourite artists at the moment. i discoeverd glenn barr maybe 2 years ago, i saw an article on him in a tattoo magazine and thought the pictures looked like something i might do myself....if slightly better than mine. maybe then i found out he used to do backgrounds and character styling on 'ren & stimpy' and thought maybe he influenced me without me knowing it. i really like the way he paints female figures, reminds me of the old tex avery cartoons with li'l red in etc. i'm a sucker for old cartoons. also his use of colour is really interesting to me, the way a lot of his pictures are areas of colour with the detail done over it without trying to stick to it. again it was a direction i was going in and loved seeing it done well.
the type of art is referred to as 'low-brow- or 'pop-surriealism' but art is art as far as i'm concerned.
blaine fontana i found on a website called http://sumoshop.com a few weeks ago and again i like the use of colour and the use of lettering lends a nice quality to the work imo.

That style grew on me. (I loved Ren and Stimpy.)

Odd that style of drawing can be funny.

Thanks for bringing the links, and the different style.

Hold on.

It's going to be a

*BUMP*y


ride.

Fauvist: Andre Derain

Some of the reasons why I fell in love with Russian artists/art.

Anything with dogs playing poker....

CI--

I don't know anything about Russian art.

Those are wonderful. Do you know the artists?

Lash, Unfortunately, in the limited time we had at the Pushkin Museum of Art and the Tretyakov Gallery in Mosocw, I was half running to see as many paintings as I could, and didn't stop to record the artist's name. I'm returning to Russia at the end of next month to revisit the two art museums in Moscow and the Hermitage in St Petersburg. Hopefully, I can can stand still long enough to record the artist's name.
