🤷‍♀️🖼️ What do you think of this art? 🖌️👩‍🎨

Hello everybody! 🙋‍♀️ In the past Christine @H_E_A_R_T made a super interesting forum about what art means to you. You can see it: ➡️ HERE ⬅️. I do not want to change the subject of her forum (but please read it and post in it to share your opinion). 🏆🥇 So i made this new forum to discuss what you think about specific paintings and art works. 😊😊😇 And together with Christine's forum it is like a TWIN!!! 💁‍♀️🙆‍♀️

The reason for this is that often I dont understand what the artist wanted or how people look at for example a specific painting. What do they see and why do they like it? So maybe we can discuss how you look at art and what do you see and like or not at all in a specific painting or art work. This helps others maybe to look at art differently. Everybody can post paintings or art works to discuss and everybody can give their opinion.

This time i tag people who i think may like art and discussing it. I am sorry if i made a mistake and i added you wrongly. Thank you very much. 🙏🙏

➡️ Do YOU have an opinion about these art works or do you have a suggestion what we can discuss next? 🙏🙏

I would like to show two paintings that are not my favourites but i saw them online and i want to understand how people look at them and maybe see things that i dont see yet (and maybe others too).

This painting is from Vincent van Gogh and is called Starry Night in English. What I like of the painting is how a colour goes ino a different colour everywhere in the painting. And i like that it is not painted too specific bc you see more like the atmosphere and not like almost a photo. The colours make me bit unresty and tensed bc it is very dark the shadow of a building or I am not sure what it is. But that is very big on the painting and it is like something dark and you dont know EXACTLY what it is. The sky looks nice because for a night it is not very dark BUTTT it looks like a big storm so it feels for me super unresty like it will get worse soon. And I dont understand the moon bc it is round AND it is the half moon shape at the same time.

This painting is from Pablo Picasso and is called The Poet. I just dont understand this painting. My mom also does NOT understand it what he tries to do. So it looks like a broken mirror in very small parts but i cant see a person in it bc the shape is super weird. And i dont understand why he has chosen these colours. But the colours do go nice into each new colour. But it looks not human but like industrially what you can see.

The poet is one of the milestones in the development of Analytic Cubism. Common characteristic of this art movement is that abstract emphasis is excessively strong and the objects in the painting are barely recognizable. Human figure visually dissected and reconstructed as an architecture of rectilinear and curvilinear elements and that makes the actual magic. You need to recognize the articulated central pyramidal figure and then your mind follows the related patterns and shapes and complete the wholeness of the figure. Picasso doesn't favour representational forms, but prefer the aesthetes to read the whole through abstract illusions. He's chosen those colors because chromatic sobriety is his signature and colors are pretty open for light transitions as in rusty texture.

This is EXACTLYYY why i started this forum!!!! 🙏🙏 Thank you very much @diogenes_cask!! 🙂 I am happy that you are reacted and maybe it is ok if i say it for new members but Diogenes was the director of a super nice museum in Istanbul!! 🙂 And now you are not only a history professor BUTTTT also an art teacher!! 🧑‍🎨🧑‍🎓

There are a lot of works i think i understand from what you write but it is super complex as painting. I tried to look for the pyramids and make the person complete but that is not easy. ANDDD it makes me feel like i watch CSI!!! 😬😬 The painting gives me a bit stressy feeling and the colours also make it like you said rusty but it does not make it feel warm. And i think maybe that is not what he wanted AT ALL to make it warm. But i would not feel super comfortable if you have it for example in your house.

Do you like it bc you think it is pretty @diogenes_cask or bc he is super good at making the painting very abstract and complex?

And i heard of cubism BUTTT i thought that you would have little squares not pyramids. Sorry if that is weird to think but i did not expect this to be cubism but just SUPER ABSTRACT. 😛

For today i have a different painting that i would like to show in this forum:

This time i am NOTTTT going to say first but i ask people who visit this forum if anybody can guess who is the painter and what is the name of the painting? And what do you think of the painting (also if you dont know the painter)? 😊😊

This is „Der Kuss von Gustav Klimt“, austrian artist from 1900 Vienna! I like Klimt, because I like Vienna

Oww i was about to go to dinner but i saw your post and the answer is CORRECT!!! 🏆🥇

About the paining i like that the gold that he uses is every time super different like for example the background and super bright of the blanket that they wear and super mini in the flowers. So it comes back OFTENN but every time differently. On the painting she looks normal but i think his neck is really weird like the shape and how he holds it.

I dont know who the two are on the painting but i guess it is maybe a king or emperor bc of all the gold. 👑👑

@diogenes_cask and @Piwipete: do you have a favourite painting or art work that you would like next to be in this forum? 🙂

I like it, especially the woman. She's pretty and I like the flowers around her ankle. The woman looks soft and feminine with her soft face and curves, the man looks rather harsh with the shapes in his clothing and on his body in general. It seems like the man doesn't really fit the environment of the painting.

I like the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch! 😃🤣

I adore the brilliant use of "dramatic chiaroscuro" technique, thus I shall give the name of the master of tenebrism: Caravaggio. His work named "Narcissus" is a true Baroque escapade.

Thank you very much for writing that @-Kiki- bc now i looked at the painting of Gustav Klimt again but like how you described it. I didnt see it first around her ankle but it looks like it is from his cape or blanket kind of dress. I also only saw now that you can see her outfit differently from his bc the first time it looked like ONLY his outfit and if he holds it around her, but that is not true. So they BOTH wear gold. And i think you are RIGHT that she is super soft and he a lot harsher. You can see it also clearly with the hands. He holds her neck and it is like she accepts that and just puts her hand on his hand. Maybe the painter wanted to show that men are stronger and more like a leader. And that women are softer. And i am curious WHO they are. I still think they are maybe a king and queen bc of all the gold.

And thank you very much for the tips @Piwipete and @diogenes_cask!! I dont know Hieronymus Bosch yet. Do you have a favourite painting of that painter @Piwipete so i can put it in this forum? 🙄🙄

This is the painting that @diogenes_cask mentioned:

The painter is Caravaggio and he is from Italy. The painting is Narcissus and on google it said he is looking in the water to see himself and he falls in love with himself. The painting is super precise and you can see even emotion clearly i think. Is that correct @diogenes_cask? But i dont like it is super dark. That makes it also a bit like there is a danger and the person does not know it bc he is only looking at himself. Or something that is not right that is what i feel if i look at it.

I once liked Salvador Dali, especially this one:

Metamorphosis of Narcissus

Now I would prefer Narcissus of Caravaggio.

But at home I have a collection of Michael`s paintings (for sale)
and I would definitly hang up the "yellow painting" of @diogenes_cask (on his profile)

Beste Yue, het is leuk, dat je nu kenntnis hebt van Hieronymus Bosch. Hij was van Den Bosch en da is een heel fantastisch, uitstekend musea met all die schilderijen (een copie) van Bosch. Die originaal schilderijen zijn vandaag en Spanje, omdat en die 80jaarige oorlog tussen Nederlanders en Spanjaarden, die Spaanse koning Filip II. naam die schilderijen mee naar Madrid 🙂

Mooi is die schilderij "Die verzoeking van de heilige Antonius" 🙂 Echt heel rare, maar fantastisch!

Because that's a dark and sorrowful tale from ancient greek myths. Narcissus is a figure from Greek Mythology who was so impossibly handsome that he fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. His story with the nymph Echo is a quite interesting one.

Jheronimus Bosch Art Center | VisitBrabant who, like me, like the opera of Hieronymus Bosch, I would like to advice to see this musea! The town of Den Bosch is even very pretty! Have fun there 🙂

The "problem" about this forum is that we don`t see the originals.
It is so much more than a online picture.

I don't understand your critics...it is always nice to talk about arts! Even if you see the "originals", you can get inspiration, you get the idea the see the art, we are talkin about here, in the original place! For me seeing Klimt's opus at Vienna was a great experience!

No critics.
