Schiele is fucking amazing

Anyone else kind of like surrealism, but not the aesthetic of Dali?
There's something about the playfulness of the imagery i like, but it's juxtaposed with this very realistic way of painting that i'm not a big fan of.
I think i kind of prefere Magritte's paintings to Dali's

Pic related was in a horrible place. It was big room with 8-10 gigantic paintings on the walls, 2-4 smaller ones, a 5 m long string hanging from the ceiling and several sculptures on the floor. It was a shock to enter the room. You get bombarded with so many things from so many directions, it gets ridiculously confusing. Later I came back there and saw a sculpture I haven't noticed at all the first time!

how do I go about understanding Renaissance and Baroque art?
>>
I want to start painting with oil paint, but have no idea what to get and where to start.
Anyone got any tips? I heard that oil painting can be pretty dangerous, and you shouldn't paint with it in a small area.
My room is very small, would this be a serious problem, and especially on a larger scale?
>>
>>6175355
>>
>>6175362
Depends. What do you want to start painting? If its people, then you should get well acquainted with drawing the human figure first. If anything else, just start throwing colors onto the canvas. Yeah small room, maybe not. The paint has a strong smell.

I don't think you can group them into one style, but they're all contemporary artists. What makes them similar is that the brush strokes look buttery and wet, the paint is thick.

that's fucking hilarious.

anyone got that 'palm' picture or whatever, it's the one with broad, red/orange strokes creating a palm-like figure. often used as an example of how modern art is degenerate, but it really is beautiful.

(If you're worried about not-being-polite, you needn't worry about it at all)

He stood beside the curtain.
‘There’s nothing going on out there, if that’s what you’re wondering’
Streetlight flooded through a large front-room window and a shadow casted itself onto the wall opposite; its meagre outline disfigured by some furniture.
From outside the window one could barely make out the face of the figure. A beard, black and unkempt, though not quite rugged. Two sides to a nose; feint. A furrowed brow, eyes narrow, a conical jaw.
Its posture, limited. It did not impose and yet did not restrain. To be frank, it simply was.
The streetlight died and with it, the shadow. He swept the curtain back to the middle
‘Want to turn on the light?’

Saturn swallowed them whole. It was a logic problem of sorts. First gods were kept inside mother earth, but she conspired to let them out, second time Saturn had to swallow them, but they're immortal still and got out. The painting is just gratuitous gore.
