trying to get more into art, whats /fa/'s favorite artists/painters ?
pic related, just picked up a couple Juan Miro prints.
>>10981048
JS Sargent, Lautrec, Whistler, W. Homer, C. Beaux, Fletcher, Caillebotte, Cunard, F Edwin Church
Anything post-expressionist or following that isn't neo or revival is usually just trash for money laundering purposes. Seriously the whole art establishment exists to facilitate criminal activity for the last number of decades.

>Concept artist copies a photo to validate his other bullshit by proving he has skillz and just chooses to fingerpaint, missing the point of figurative painting entirely.
Ew.

Great stuff though
I like Jackson Pollock's more defined paintings, his totally abstract stuff is cool too but I like this stuff better.

I really love this, will look more into the artist
>>10981305
Depict your subject as only you can: An artist must recognize, out of the infinite amount of observable details, the visual factors that define what they'd like to express about their subject. Choices must be made about organization and subjugation of color, light, form, value, line, and shape. Further, the artist must choose how best to express these decisions through the limited gamut of their media. Even oil is often limited by what palette/selection of colors/brushes an artist has.
In a photograph, all of this information has already been captured and organized for you. The room for an artist's choice regarding the unlimited potential of the original subject has been exponentially decimated.
There is room for decision and interpretation of the new subject, but A majority of what is to be expressed has been decided by the lens.
>>10981532
There's also the way all photograpic images are slightly but noticeably distorted from the perspective of those our brains process from our eyes, automatically lending an unnatural quality, but that's beside the main point.
A copier of photos overlooks all this. They copy everything in the right place, and "oh it looks just like her! Now i'll throw in a little texture and some lost edges to remind them it's a painting, not a photo." Just a painting of a photo.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler is GOAT
I highly recommend taking a painting class, it's extremely fulfilling
Donald Hamilton Fraser, Barnett Newman, Theodoros Stamos, Franz Kline
I don't really know that much about art, if you can recommend more in that vein it'd be greatly appreciated, already got a few new ones here

Rothko Chapel is /fa as fuck
>>10982377
I saw an exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art a few years ago. I highly HIGHLY recommend seeing them in person if you get the chance, they are much, much more impressive. Online they're sort of cool, but in person they just swallow you
>>10982693
I heard similar happens seeing some Pollocks in person, that it is almost vertigo inducing
>>10981157
what a hack
he literally just dabbled onto the canvas and drew generic figure drawing poses

im big on abstract expressionism, but ive been on a japanese binge lately. this is hiroshi yoshida

Cool sailboat.
Also, music is the correct choice in art pursuit. I know because I chose painting. Music is lonely then its social once you've got the basics down. Painting is lonely and only gets lonlier.
Painting: Spend time alone or at best, plein air with disconnected spectators, concentrated on what you're doing. Music: paint the air around you with someone else. Share in the joy.

>A majority of what is to be expressed has been decided by the lens
The problem with this reasoning is that you can always add degrees of freedom to an art form. You say that photography is crippled by a lens, but an animator/director will say painting is crippled by time because it is just one image. Other forms are even harder to compare. Is a sculpture harder to organize and conceptualize than a painting?
btw I actually find photography boring, but I don't think it necessarily has less merit
Which museums are /fa/?
>>10981182
So much symbolism, the tug boat pulling the sail boat, the sun setting, the end of an era.
such beauty
>>10983247
>You say that photography is crippled by a lens
No man, never said that. I said that Gerhard is a hack because he's trying to legitimize himself as a painter with a portrait, but he just painted a photo. It's a pretty great photo, but the painting is bad. If I write a brilliant poem, then take a clear, clinical, direct photo of the poem, I still have a great poem, but a shitty photograph. I've missed all the wonderful shit that I can explore with the photographic medium, the stuff that medium excels at.
My underlying point was that paintings of photos are crippled by the lens, not that photography is illegitimate in comparison. I pretty much agree with everything you said.
Schiele and Lautrecs' work are good examples of what i mean. The point of figurative painting is to make decisions about how to represent what you observe*. Egon drew people, more-or-less anatomically correct if not proportionally so. He made decisions on what to include/exclude, exaggerate, how thick to make his lines, whether or not to use gradation for shading, etc.
Pic related is a Lautrec. It's a ballerina, but there's so much decision on how to express the contrast in color, what light to include, shadow to exclude, the chosen angle, etc.

Here's a question: How do I integrate my aesthetic tastes in art and music to the clothes I wear??
>>10983380
I guess I misunderstood. I didn't realize you were specifically talking about Richter and lesende.
I'm not an expert on him or anything but, this isn't the only photo-painting he has done. He did a few and I believe the whole theme was "the artist as a machine". So, I think he actually probably agrees with your view that it 'misses the point' and is commenting on how the role of the artist seems to have changed to something more mechanical
on an unrelated note, this klee always reminds me of foster's home for imaginary friends

Im looking for an artist but cant find his name.
His paintings had words scribbled in them like he was bipolar or something. Think of picrelated with and actually some shit you could maybe recognize some faces in. I remember it being something red black and ecru. He mightve been from san fransico but that i dont know

I study architecture and do some painting, also have a bunch of installation and sculpture ideas saved or in development. How does one even realise such a site specific / resource intensive project?
Also, I did a body art inspired performance last year. Got quite some shit for it, but at least my mentor was pleased.

>>10985276
Come on I want to hear the story.
>>10985280
It was for a class called Presentation Tehniques, where we explored the process between an idea and final graphic product (mostly in an architectural context). At the end of the year we prepared an exhibition of our graphics and a performance as the final product / comment on the themes we discussed throughout the year. In mine (called Autoportrait), I placed a sheet of poster paper on the floor, sat on it japanese style, and slit my wrist with a razor blade. I let the blood drip over the paper, dipped a quill pen into the puddle and wrote "I am not here" next to it. Picked up the paper, hung it on the wall and went outside. In hindsight, it was a bit heavy-handed and sophomoric, but I am happy with it in context. I can explain the original idea behind it, if you'd like.
>>10985380
lol damn.
>>10983155
where does one buy cheap prints?
>>10985380
Why not commit sudoku on a sheet of paper and scream FOR YOU SENPAI.
>>10985380
id like to hear your explanation of the original idea
>>10985424
I hope that was wordfilter, funnier that way
>>10985452
In short, it was a comment on the relationship between the artist and the artpiece. Everything you create is going to carry a piece of you, so to speak — but if you try to create a work that isolated fully expresses who you are as a person or as an artist, as we tried in our series of graphics (hence the title), you can never achieve that, it will only ever be a reflection of your state at the time, an incomplete piece of your being. That's what the blood and my presence is supposed to represent: even if I left a (literal) part of me on the paper, the work cannot fully represent me once I leave the room and the performance is over.

Interesting. Question, though. What interests you about Edgar Degas, is it exclusively his style of painting or the themes that paintings typically feature?
>>10981402

Big big fan of Chuck Close. Can't really afford his pieces though (I wish!) so I just collect books about him. His life story and his work ethic are pretty inspirational. The amount of work over the years and the level of quality he's put out is just staggering:
