Fascinating.

 

[poptop]

The Power of Art looks excellent. I'd like to suggest these additional titles - ones that illumine the world of art and all forms of creative genius:

Civilisation: The Complete Series
http://www.amazon.com/Civilisation-...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1252872537&sr=1-1

Man Ray - Prophet of the Avant-Garde
http://www.amazon.com/Man-Ray-Proph...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1252872645&sr=1-1

Alfred Stieglitz: The Eloquent Eye
http://www.amazon.com/American-Mast...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1252872793&sr=1-1

The Mystery of Picasso
http://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Picas...ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1252872872&sr=1-1

Each title is rich and worthy of repeated viewings, but supply your own soundtrack to the Picasso as you watch him work and rework his paintings.

Edward Hopper

Rothko might be my favorite and Hopper is great too.

WHERE do I start?? -- Great links and images from Justine, BTW!

It began with Paul Klee, Kandinsky, Piccaso, Chagall, Van Gogh...

It's better to say, "This week I like:

Peter McDonald, Amy Sillman, Rochelle Botello, Yong Sin, and as always, Rita Ackermann."

This is an old Roommate of mine.
He is a really fine artist and was a great roommate.
He used blow glass down in his room when lived together.
Super Cool guy.
Now he's doing Tattoo's as well.

carol, have you heard of ruby mag? i think you'd like it a lot - lots and lots of different, new stuff, i've discovered a lot of cool artists through this site.

i like mark jenkins:

and the things this guy can do with paper and a scalpel are mindblowing:

 

[strangegirl]

Those are cool Justine. I've seen both of those artists works before but didn't have names associated with them. thanks for that.

 

[esart]

Yes, I love Ruby Mag, Justine.

You probably already know of the cool blogs, but here are a couple that show some interesting work:

Very clever.

 

[Bruno Dante]

I've seen those street drawings before but aren't they fantastic?

 

[justine]

that is truly amazing.

 

[Mark73]

Yes. I enjoyed every picture of it.

The Link does'nt work. It says something about a server error:

Runtime Error

[mjp]

Yeah, it's been down for a couple of days. Weird.

 

[mjp]

Go blend it! It's back...

 

[Bukfan]

Great! Thanks...

I love this work by Damian Michaels. You have to see a better scan to appreciate the detail. The original is like 3" x 4". If you blew it up, you would see serious detail. He must use a tiny rapidograph like Jordan has...

Wesley Willis, the schizophrenic rock and roller from way back has always captured my attention. I think his drawings, which were marker on board and done right on the street from memory are amazing. The detail in his works were amazing. You see them on eBay every now and then, usually fetching around $1,000.00. Back in the day, he'd sit on street corners and sell them for less than $100.00. The same as with a Dee Dee Ramone painting, I'd give anything to own a Wesley piece of art.

Raymond Pettibon, George Tooker, Otto Dix....here we gooooo!!!
