munch was seriously depressed throughout his life. van gogh was a schizophrenic. pollock was a drunk. big art often comes from the "disturbed" ones.

oh, and if you're interested go here: www.taschen.com
they got this very, very nice books about the big names of art, they're all 100 pages full color and lots of info and they cost only 7 euros like. i have 4 of them (monet, van gogh, rothko, pollock.) it's essential for someone that doesnt want to spend a lot but justlearn and see a few things.

I still prefer old stones

 

[Cerulean]

Yeah, certainly Irene, I've been to that Gaudi park in Barcelona already and it was great. The German/Dutch/English art nouveau is awful though! I have always wondered why it has the same name cos it has nothing in common.

 

[intoxica]

Anyone else here like Henri Rousseau? I've always thought he was greatly underrated... seeing his paintings 'in the flesh' as it were, when i was in Paris was something else

 

[sol83]

i never really liked architecture, in an artistic way i mean, not as much as painting, no way.

 

[toolsofthetrade]

oh yes way! been to this exibition in Berlin last autumn, and that design by Liebeskindt for Ground Zero really rocks. Although he gets on my nerves at times with his concepts and that, he really is a brillaint architect.

It can be very interesting (I like Middle Age architecture and arts, my heart goes to the Pope's palace in Avignon). Where did you studied that ?

I studied it in Lille 3 university in Villeneuve d'Asq

 

[steak-knife]

speaking of popes, here is one of Francis Bacon's paintings. his work is the most disturbing of all

 

[Bastet]

yeah! disturbing and great!!!

 

[Dhatura]

The pope is dropped from Heaven and it hurts.

 

[Bastet]

i like Hirst,.....

aargh! this one ?????????????

 

[Dhatura]

That's not a big deal, I've seen such stuff many times, the whole process, it's interesting.
