@bijouxbroussard Yes she was extremely talented. She did all kinds of art from painting on race cars to ceramics to cartooning to her beautiful acrylic and oil paintings. Smart lady too.
There are so many artists from different schools of painting that I admire, but if I had to choose one then it would be Edvard Munch. I adore The Expressionists, and The Scream in particular seems to encapsulate the entire human condition - the agonies and exasperations of living.
@InterdimensionalSideEye Yes, apperently there were several. What condition they are all in now, Heaven knows! The amount of times they've been stolen. I can relate to that Scandinavian angst/melancholy.
@InterdimensionalSideEye Indian tribal Like the wall paintings by santhals, bhils, gonds. The clothwork, kanthastitches, dye prints, the metal casts like dokra. Mainly from eastern india, where the colors are richer and style distinct.
I'm unable to choose favorites in subjective areas like art, architecture, music and food because I like too much variety, so I like pretty much most early and mid-20th century non-objective / abstract and Surrealist painters and mid-to-late 19th-century proto-abstraction painters, including things like Impressionism, Pointilism, Fauvism, De Stijl, Suprematism, Bauhaus, Abstract Expressionism, Italian Futurism, Cubism, Tachisme, Op Art (e.g., Bridget Riley), and odds and ends like Gerhard Richter
that's what I created this group for, which still has a few example posts I have not yet deleted and/or have consolidated:
why? representational painting is just kind of boring to me, and seems totally unnecessary after the invention of the camera, as though the camera liberated painting to become something more interesting (but of course you can do abstraction with a camera too)
