While I like James Abbott McNeill Whistlers’ work, my favorite by far is Square Dance by Frederick Bean Avery.



:rolleyes2

I just wanted to hang out with the Aristocrat Pixies for a while ;)

fzzy~ one of the best parts of my trip to Vegas was going to the a Monet exhibit. Seeing his work left me in awe. I relate the experience as to feeling like I was in church.

not sure who did dog's playing poker but that man is a genius

When you're right, you're RIGHT, Boog! :thumb:


















:grin:

seeing Scotzoid, Boog & I show up here is like having the little clown car roll in, isn't it? :D You just don't know how much is going to come out! :rofl:

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

I'm a fan of Gossamer, myself. :D

And...I am NOT being elitist! Let's just say I am curious, of a nature. Every person has their own preferences. Could be landscapes, portraits, still lifes, abstracts, cubism, cartoons, folk art, charcoal studies...anything. It has been said that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

I have to agree...O'Keefe's flowers are amazing!

Abominable is pretty cute, too.

I've always had a soft spot for Degas.

Mae,

Of course you’re not being elitist. Different art appeals to different people. Different art appeals to the same person. Here’s my all time favorite emotional statement: Pablo Picasso’s "Guernica ". A powerful anti-war statement - but great art!

jseal...I have a very dear friend who will be 91 this year. A few years ago, we were talking about famous painters and we got around to Picasso and the changes in his temperment and style. He remembered when Guernica was "released" and told me about the different factions involved and what exactly it had represented. Just an amazing and controversial piece of art.

Sorta like looking at Van Gogh's Irises & having one of them squirt ya in the face...

I'm so glad to find other Salvador Dali fans. :) Though I like the ones you guys have posted, The Metamorphosis of Narcissus is my favorite. I'm also a fan of Georgia O'Keefe, she is just amazing.
