Dali is fucking mental.

Here's a few more. Some abstract expressionists.

Barnett Newman

Jackson Pollock

Clyfford Still

Robert Ryman

I've been impressed with some art I've come across, but I've never liked any of it.

Weird, I know.

pat · 03-01-2008, 20:00

Manet - Le Dejeuner sure l'Herbe

Cassatt

Le Corbusier (obviously)

The whole Art Deco and Noveau movements, Modernist movement, Dada, mostly superb. Silly thing to say but I wish we didn't live in post-modernism - I wish thigns could be new, original.

Favourite artist's quote (paraphrased): Kandinsky "The essence of a triangle is yellow"

Also, in terms of really contemporary stuff, found this bloke yesterday, Axel Antas, who's taken a set of pictures of low-lying cloud formations:

Cheers for some of the above names, some great work there. I'd never heard of Rothko!

freewheelin franklin · 04-01-2008, 13:08

I lived in Paris for a year and went to both of those Le Corbusier's houses. They were incredible.

Those cloud pictures are weird, love em.
