I like broccoli, former President Bush does not. I think it's a
mistake for me to say I'm right and he's wrong.
There are objective ways to measure, to a degree, the appeal of music.
I "know" that Rush Limbaugh is a fool, no matter what others think.
That objective truth is not as applicable to broccoli, nor to
paintings.
But I can tell you that I once saw a painting, across the room, which
stunned me, which "spoke" to me with deep thoughts - Rembrandt's
Saint Bartholomew at the Getty museum. I heard a compelling,
emotionally deep message - that even great material success, and high
social standing, fail to compensate for the cruel fact that soon we
will die.
Few other paintings have been as meaningful for me.

Exactly George. Purely subjective. My third choice, Daniel in the
Lions Den, became my third choice after seeing it at National Museum
of Art in DC. It's a large painting I set and stared at for over an
hour.

I think that former president Bush hasn't had broccoli done right. It
can have a strong taste, as many green vegetables that are good for you
can. One bit of fusion cooking is to take steamed or microwave broccoli
and put parmesan cheese and soy sauce on it. It's sounds weird because
they are from two widely different cooking cultures but it goes good
with broccoli.

Sounds like a message that gets repeated endlessly, until we die. Art in
all its forms is about the transitory nature of life, about how you can
never step into the same stream twice.

ok. truth be known. I'm not a big fan. He's good - but overrated IMO.
not "best" thats for sure.
> 07- Renoir - Bather arranging her hair 1893
yes. i like his taste in gals too ;-). ya, our culture says go for small
butts and skiny gals. well you can have that Captain!! "I like big
butts".........on a regular sized gal. pearshaped - big butt/hips small
waste/shoulders = turn on ;-).......
oh ya, lost track - Renoir? - yes Excellent!! his colors are fab!

no. we must part our ways here Captain ;-(. the dot thing is

YES YES YES YES........in fact he is maybe #1!!!!!!!!!!! in my book.
that above one or the "coven/witch" one is his best......and the one
where Cronos is eating his son Zeus is pretty fucking kewl too!

good - but dark like Goya (literally).

YES - often overlooked being a "Graphic artist" instead of the "Real"
thing. Tops!! He was one of the top ten definately!

?? heard the name - landscape?
..............
lord, been since College since I though about Artists:.............not
up on them with all the years gone by (15+)
....................
lets go with Artists instead of particular works ok Captain? that would
make it easier. (BTW - "artist" includes everything from classics to
commic-books IMO). I do not support snobbery.
1. Goya. overall he is #1. not his realism (which is not that great) but
the content (subject) forces emotion upon us.
Goya would have made a good Propaganda artist, of which I have alot of
respect for (in fact have a book on it). Germans employed alot of
excellent artists to convey patriotism/hate/fear/arrogance/etc.... top
art must evoke some emotion.
2. Robert Taylor (no, not the actor ;-)..) - WW2 aircraft art (no not
nose art).........paintings of dogfights/bomber runs etc.......oil only.
not that acrilic crap.
NOTE: humans that paint machines are not viewed equal to humans that
paint people/landscapes. this is a load of crap and simple predice.
3. Don Dickson - Space Art. paintings of the surface of moons/asteroids,
planets etc.......beutiful work (did alot of artwork for NASA and
magazine covers in the 1980s').
4. John Berkey - same as above. His gift is the rendering of spaceships
with an organic "feel" to them. He painted the "famous" Challenger
Exploding we all saw on the magazine covers. He also did the artwork for
the Star Wars Poster (one of his first commisions). Taylor, Berkey and
Dickson are Goya's equals.
5. Dreur(sp) - midevil art. people, animals and demons - alot of pen work.
6. Chuck Jones - How the Grinch Stole X-mas. need I say more?
7. Giesel(sp) (Dr Seuse)...above, need i say more?
8. Fredic Back - "the Man who planted trees" - "the mighty river" -
"Crock" - "All nothing". A Master artist/film maker. French canadian.
(you can only get his works via Radio Canada - I shelled out 100 bucks
for his films (and his works are worth it!)...........if you'd like - I
can make a copy for you, let me know). I cannot stress how good this guy
is and how little he is known.
9. Toulouse-Lautrec
10. Eischer(sp) - no emotional impact and so not more than tenth place.
but a mind of such great mathematical and visual wizardy does merit
tenth place.

only to the mainstream - he's been around for 40 yrs and has won
international awards for both "Man Who Planted Trees" (1988?89?) and the
"Mighty River"
each were handpainted by him and each took 5 or 6 yrs to do.

He's not offered through NetFlix nor Blockbuster!! (if he was I'd have
never bought it! ;-)...................).
FabDVD does wonders when combined with Blockbuster (which unlike
Netflicks carries the "Brother Cadfeal" series).
- I've not heard of Sam and Janet. My spelling sucks - maybe I spelled
the name wrong.
Frederic Back
George Leroy Tyrebiter, Jr.
And Thomas Kincaid is art to most of us.
While his stuff makes me howl with laughter - elitism is a guilty
pleasure.
I think the notion here is that some have "taste" which others lack.
And being serious, I actually do think that Jesus-piss guy is a fine
artist.
At least, for me.
And I should add that there are some objective standards - "balance"
stuff like that. I had lunch during college, for a couple years, in a
sculpture garden, with some major pieces, and somehow the aesthetics
sank into my brain, so that now I "know" good sculpture from bad. At
least, my take tracks accepted elitist opinion now.
And I think there is something "real" about the good from the bad.
But there is a lot of subjectivity also. Some of that "good" stuff I
never grew to like. Which I guess is an "error" on my part - if
elitist opinion is the measure.

Subsequently, science found out - i kid you not - that about ten
percent of us have a genetic trait which makes broccoli taste bitter.
Bush was born wealthy, and surely had access to great cooking.

Is that right? I never took an art class. But I like the stuff. And I
had a girlfriend who was a groupie to artists - bragged she had slept
with two of America's top ten artists. And she was paid by a S and L
to buy paintings for them. And she took me to artists homes - and said
I invariably walked right to the best art in the place.
So I track elitist opinion somehow.
So maybe there is something objective in visual art.
But...if folks like thomas kincaid, I'm not ready to say they're
wrong.
Though his stuff makes me howl with laughter.
That's just me - I don't like it, Bush doesn't like broccoli.
