This is Christ of St John of the Cross. It's in Glasgow Art Gallery (when not out on loan). It's absolutely magnificent :earl:. You have to realize that it is a huge painting, as opposed to the poster your mate has on his wall.

To be fair I think Dali is fantastic.

[100%]

Agrajag if you like his work, read his diaries they are better.
His shot from above is indeed genius.

I've never read anything he wrote. Never been inclined to look it out.

Did you know they have a wee Dali section in the football museum at the Camp Nou. That kind of jumped out at me in an unexpected way.

[Snee]

Speaking of Dali, I think he made one with a fortress hanging in the sky. Looks a lot like Dali otherwise.

Does anyone of you know what it's called, or what I might be thinking of? :dabs:

Been looking for a pic of it for a while.

[Agrajag]

Look in here Snee http://www.daligallery.com/

If it's a Dali you might find it.

Although the religious iconography is not my cup of tea I have always liked El Greco's use of colour and Byzantine style

..."The Great Masturbator", I kid you not.

Did you notice that the shadows don't actually make sense. The two just over half way up the LHS would have to come from different light sources.

The picture is also reminiscent of Biblical onanism, where the seed is cast on stony ground.

[Snee]

Oh, it actually makes more sense to me, now that you said that.

The whole thing I mean, not the shadows.

Uh, missed this, it's the one who collaborated with Pratchett, dunno if he worked with Adams as well.
If you liked Good Omens (Pratchett/Gaiman), try a Gaiman-novel called "Neverwhere".

That's one of those, "I can see how it's fantastic" things.

It captures the essence of the subject, rather than trying to copy what it actually looks like.

In all honesty, if my nine year old painted that I would put it on the fridge and say "that's beautiful".

However I wouldn't really mean it. I genuinely don't see how it's anything more than a badly painted picture of flowers.

Much as he may have tormented himself whilst doing it.

I was looking at that today, true story.

Another Dali, something about The Last Temptation of St Anthony if memory serves.

I've always thought that the edifice atop the third beast is reminiscent of a masonic symbol. I have no reason to say that, it's just a feeling.

Fact.

[manker]

Everyone worth noting was fat, and green in t'days of yore.

Fact.
Also, the naked fat girls always had pointy tits in the olden days, according to the paintings.

As if. Fat girls always have droopy, horrible tits. Everyone who has ever got pissed up and shagged a minger knows that.

Nevermind all the book-burning rampages Torquemada used to go on, he should have burnt all the shit art his cohorts could lay their hands on.

Also, this one I like. "Tower of Babel" by Pieter Bruegel. This is hung up in the dining room.

I recently visited the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow. The material contained therein was of a uniformly shite nature.

And also, if 36 firebricks arranged in an oblong is art, then the people who decided that must wander the streets in a constant state of awe. Looking at walls and so forth.

Half a cow in formaldehyde, yeah that's good. Or a messy bedroom, certainly makes me think. I think, get that tiddied yah clatty bastard.

I prefer the diplomatic way, for me its always the best approach, way to react. None has been harsh to me persay, rather they just ignoring me for i am a n00b in a fine community, its always like that in good community, and thats ok. Also, when you want to fitin(not just in forums), you have 2 allies, being a good poster(person) and time ;)

If it's fantasy type stuff, I've always liked Roger Dean. He's the chap who did the album covers forYes.

I used to have that Album JPF, right up until the floods at Hayling Island in 1978, when my mother's house was flooded, it was never seen again :( I remember one track 'Close to The Edge." ..

That's the album's name as well Nigel, if memory serves.

Oh, that's wierd I never put the Aliens series with the Species one. They are similar :slap: Just watching the opening credits to Species - Giger was a Designer on that aswell, i understand now.

RandomImage.us - click the "Sexy Pictures" link above forum. Also, it was in response to your previous post.

and what is art? Art is like beauty... only for the "eye of the beholder..."

I mean would you give millions for a painting like Van Gogh's Starry Night, or his Sunflower attempt ..lets be honest..it's rubbish! The only reason that it's valued so high is that these "Art" Crooks have to invest their swag, somewhere... IMO anyone trying to invest millions in "Art" should be arrested, thrown into the dungeons and the key thrown away...untill the "incarcerated" realizes..he should have been giving that money away to some good cause..like helping combat the aids epidemic in Africa..or finance a fresh water supply for said same Continent.
