Art Appreciation

While I can certainly appreciate those who are "hyper-realists" that seem to be emerging recently, along with people who do digital art. i have always loved seeing the brush strokes. Sometimes the strokes - thickness, width, length - conveyed as much as the image.
Me too. I enjoy looking at sculptures (wood, clay, ice, etc), drawings, digital art, etc., but none elicit from me the kind of feelings as paint brushed onto canvas.0 -
I'm fortunate enough to own this serigraph.
Dr. Seuss' Flower Fish.
His sculptures and some of his secret art are really awesome - and I recommend doing a google search if you have any bit of an inclination. Though not all of his art is PG - forewarned.
I'm a fan.
I also really love when art and function come into play in unexpected ways.
Salvador Dali (who I only kinda like as a friend) had some really fun furniture pieces at the Dali museum. Haven't found pictures online to show though. Sorry.
But... I do like this:

It's just fun! Always a fan of checking out the red dot design award winners, you know, for giggles.0 -
Many favorites depending on mood I suppose, but I fell in love with Velazquez's Las Meninas in the Prado Museum some years ago.

Anything Egyptian really ...

Manet's L'Olympia is a painting to which I react strongly. Also the experience of walking around the Getty Museum (not the Villa) is an art experience in itself. The Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo is also a gem.0

I absolutely LOVE art! I have a very eclectic board on my Pinterest full of art!
Same same.
I'm definitely an Art lover but I'd say Henri Matisse is my all-time favorite.0 -
Glad to see such appreciation here. Attention seeking fools who try to interrupt beauty go on ignore0
