Bringing back my favorite thread. Last one: >>>/m/103414
———–

Not just "pretty" and "beautiful" art, but art that gets in touch with our emotions, be the most dark, depressing and eerie feelings of emptiness and solitude, but also, art that makes us feel incredibly happy, lightweight, and full of sunshine.

Any medium (drawings, paintings, sculptures, exhibitions, animations, photography, etc) is welcomed and encouraged. You can post anything as long as it was something that made you deeply feel/think. If the art is just pretty and well done but has no personal emotional attachment or doesn't provoke any thought, you may post it in another thread.

Optional: Include an explanation in your post.

The Ricotta Eaters, I think, is the kind of painting that makes you think the more you look at it. At first glance it's just a bunch of silly people eating cheese. Then you notice how enthralled they are by the cheese. The dwarf is completely stuffed. His gluttony is like a narcotic to him. The one in the background is about to partake and his eyes are already hooded. He's already feeling the effects of the cheese before he even indulges. The bearded man is lecherous. He's look at you, he's by the woman, he's next in line for the cheese. Soon, everything in his life will be "perfect." The woman is the furthest from the cheese at first glance, but then you notice her hands are right there by the cheese. She has her own spoon. What you make take for hesitancy or joviality is nothing but a desire for the cheese. All four have as much share in the cheese as each other, they are simply in varying degrees of indulgence. When you look at the stupid man, his mouth full of cheese, with glazed eyes in his red cap, you feel contempt, but there you are, yourself waiting with a spoon.

nta but I deeply love this heartbreaking painting. At some point in his prolific career Ivan turned extremely paranoid even of his own family. This painting is so gut-wrenching because soon after he struck his own son in the head with the spear he became remorseful at the sudden realisation of his actions, in that moment all disbelief and suspicion disappeared, he could only hold him. His son strangely enough looks almost comforting towards Ivan, I guess he was maybe suspecting this type of action coming from his father due to his downwards spiral.
Anyway, beautiful painting!

Reminds me of Unraveling Bolero by Anne Adams. She was a biologist who suddenly ditched science to become an artist, painting lots of patterns. She become particularly obsessed with the composer Ravel and one piece of his called Bolero. She loved the changing repetition of the music and ended up painting a representation of the piece as this diptych. All the colors and patterns represent properties of each bar of the song. Anyway, some time later she was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia. As it eats away your brain it allows other parts to get rewired, and sufferers often have a rush of creativity before they start to get obviously sick, and the parts of the brain that get more active often produce an increased preoccupation with patterns. The kicker is that Ravel, who wrote the symphony Anne became obsessed with, is thought to have died of the same disease, and the song was an early manifestation of it in him the same way Unraveling Bolero was a manifestation of it in Anne.

Being a biologist she was absolutely fascinated to learn all this and IIRC would have her husband read her publications about it even as she deteriorated too much to be able to speak or read.

as a simpleton if I were shown this art with no context I would interpret it as the viewer is supposed to see this and think, how luxurious and beautiful, the floor of this building is paved with grass and flowers and it has huge windows where you can see the clouds, and then realize you could just go outside right now and enjoy that same luxury and it's supposed to make you appreciate what's available to you.

No. 199164

>>199149
The image you selected is the only pleasant one imo though. I want to skip down the halls and look out the window that I interpreted as being on the (impossibly) highest floor. But I like insulated heights, I find it comforting. The ones with water always freak me out though, because I don't like swimming.
I guess it just appeals to the uncanny? And vague familiarity.

Figured this was the most appropriate thread to post a few pieces by Nancy Grossman. She has a lot of drawings like these that have a moid tied up with leather straps and mouth and eyes covered, and I just find them really intriguing to look at and also some are hot ngl but this is a feeling I'm not proud of. They're a bit creepy and eerie but at the same time oddly calming. She also does sculptures, I wish I could go see an actual exhibition some day.

I love this so much. The big ass sword that she can somehow lift in one hand makes me think she's grabbing it with all of her rage. The way she holds onto the hair of that man so she doesn't fail. The fact that he looks old, sickly and unkept and she looks beautiful and in her prime. She's doing what every woman wishes they could do. The drawing looks so primitive and badly done but it still packs a punch. We've all been there, we've all been the same through the centuries, women.

samefag: forgot to comment that painting is exactly how I feel when I'm browsing lolcow


Leonora's statues (picrel) are terrifying in my opinion, it's scary to see her strange visions made three-dimensional

It's cliche, but I saw this painting in a museum as a preteen and it changed me. I don't even know how to describe it, it's like I suddenly understood that art can be more

I agree, I feel the same way about Francis bacon paintings. There’s something about seeing something clearly but not being able to make sense of it that evokes… some kind of feeling. And even though it’s unpleasant I like that art can make me feel that way

I saw this painting in a gallery and it’s stuck with me ever since. I don’t know why, maybe I could just tell it was painted by a woman kek. It’s almost 2 meters wide irl so it really draws you in with the scale. I love the colours on the clouds, it’s so moody but beautiful at the same time.

Jokingly I meant I found it so beautiful it must have been painted by a woman, but really, I find female artists tend to have a better aesthetic sense than male artists? Like the detail on all the people’s faces, and how most of them in focus are relatively handsome and boy-ish, and how the scene isn’t depicted as overwhelmingly heroic or macho and focuses more on the emotions in smaller ways, like the one half-dead soldier holding on to the soldier in front of him.

The painting is ‘The 28th Regiment at Quatre Bras’ by Elizabeth Thompson. Wikipedia has some nice high-res scans if you don’t feel like taking a trip down under to see it.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s Untitled (Perfect Lovers), 1991

>[The work] consists of a pair of inexpensive, plain-faced wall clocks, ticking away side by side. The instructions for installation insist that the two be set at exactly the same time, but because of their imprecise mechanisms, it is only a short time before one of the clocks falls a second or two behind the other. 'The beauty of the piece is that it is a very perfect image of what a couple is, trying to stay on the same page but never actually being able to,'


Gonzalez-Torres dedicated the work to his lover Ross Laycock, who died of an AIDS-related illness the same year.

Maybe this is better fit for the poetry thread, but I saw this almost a decade ago and I still think about it. It's a simple but effective portrayal not only of love but of grief and loss.

I saw this 12 hours ago and have come back to see it again twice, I don’t know why. it’s captivating
