Fav artists
Joel Evans
Da Vinci
Henry Moore

[gort]

I think DiVinci was a better inventor and thinker than artist...I've got to check out the other two....


Okay I just checked...couldn't find any Joel Evans but the sculpture was great! I like sculpture that invites the touch....you must like DuChamp? ( spelling )

[jle1993]

like him to

and for Joel Evans art check out the pictures thread

[gort]

I did...you mean on google? I did. Check out Michael Parkes.

[jle1993]

Not on Google, in the fanart thread, I posted some of his pics. And I love the stone lithographs by Michael Parkes!

[gort]

Yea.....I found them....cool, but not my cup of tea...
Parkes is GREAT!!
I could suggest about 75 artists off the top of my head that you would probably like...you seem like you would like HR Giger.........?

[jle1993]

I like Trumpets of Jericho by HR Giger and so of the more abstract pieces aswelll

[gort]

Thought you might.....I have most of his books....some are very rare...

[jle1993]

Wicked

Do you like David Aronson, he's done some very powerful pieces

[gort]

Yea....he's good.....a little evil, but still accomplished...

[jle1993]

I prefer the word, different, his pieces on the holocaust are good if slightly sick

[gort]

I'll check him out more......

[jle1993]

You should, he's very dark but very good.

[gort]

[jle1993]

Your art or you as a person?

[gort]

Person....my art is rather fairytale like.

[jle1993]

You sound rather interesting, you sound like Joel, execept Joel is younger and I rather fancy him.

[gort]

Everyone here is younger than me....it's okay by me.

[jle1993]

Joel isn't here...unfortunatly...he was way Mel Gibson which was good for me

[gort]

He was a radical anti-semite right wing christian with a drinking and drug problem?

[jle1993]

[1B-DI]

I hope no one minds if I go back to the topic.....?

I've always liked Renaissance artists: Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo. Also really like Vermeer. Not so sure about modern artists.

[gort]

I'm a Vermeer fan....have you seen the movie...'Girl With a Pearl'?
His work is so opaque and glowing....
How about Bruegel and Gustave Dore...?

[1B-DI]

I LOVE that movie! It's so beautiful!

I haven't really heard of Bruegel, I think I may have heard of Gustave Dore, not sure. Time for another trip to Google!

[1B-DI]

Wow...Bruegel's The Tower of Babel is amazing...love to see it in real life.

[gort]

I confuse him with Bosch a lot.......name wise I guess.....I also like Tadema. Google up!!

[frys_red_jacket]

Anyone watching Ugly Betty at the mo?

[jle1993]

[frys_red_jacket]

I've always liked Renaissance artists: Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo. Also really like Vermeer. Not so sure about modern artists.

we had to study different artists in art at school mainly van gough though, some of the stuff anne ghedi did was pretty cute although im not sure if her stuff is really classed as art

[jle1993]

I like modigliani (sp?) and Carvagio

[gort]

Geddes certainly IS art!!!!!!!

Anyone reading this who cares ( 1bdi? ) should check out Franklin Booth....pen and ink wonderful illustrations from the past!! And.....if you like that....Norman Lindsay!!

[1B-DI]

And off to Google I go!

[gort]

Yay!! I love showing people new art....we could do this for hours!!

[cerberus]

not a big fan of art, sorry....

Smokey, elite me please! 1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1B-DI]

So far, everything you've shown me is great, Gort! This is fun!

[gort]

Okay here's one for ya.....Kirk Reinert....WOW!!! Check out his website....You likey??? Let Gort know!! The 'girl' with the bird on her finger is one of my favorite pieces.....like I said....WOW!!

[cerberus]

i'll take a look for you gort, lol!

[gort]

Okay Bitey, but that was for BD....or anyone else too. You had said you weren't much into art is all I mean.... I'll make you gain an interest!!! If you like Futurama, there's a whole world of art you would enjoy! Too many kids are raised to picture art as boring...ya know...Art=DiVinci......boring old paintings. I can show you great pieces of art with robots blowing stuff up, or dragons attacking a village....you get my point, eh?

[cerberus]

yeah, cool, i've been raise with the 'arts crap' type of stuff. i'd like to see some of these paintings you mention.

[gort]

Type in Frank Frazetta. Enjoy.
He's SUPER famous...and I met him once!

[cerberus]

ok, will do!

[1B-DI]

Wow....Reinert's stuff is awesome! I really like Sea of Dreams, that's beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived in Seattle.

[gort]

I'm SO glad you enjoy my art advice....that makes me very happy!!!
Now check out Cicely Mary Barker....Flower Fairies.....
Then....Arthur Rackham
Then...Kay Neilson
Then....Oh, alright....I'll let ya catch up!!

[cerberus]

oh, and gort, that stuff you told me about, very cool. thanks for the info.

[gort]

Good...you are welcome........art rocks, and I have THOUSANDS of art books around me!!!

[cerberus]

cool, lol, i'll have to check out more art some of its kinda cool :)

[1B-DI]

Gort, you once said that you taught an art class. What kind of class was it?

[cerberus]

you taught an art class? cool!

[gort]

It's kind of a long, bragging type story, but here goes....
When I was in High School my art teacher arranged for me to teach a class at the local elementary school....twice a week, for one semester, they would send an ENTIRE school bus for me....and only me...to pick me up and drive me...then I would teach the class how to draw cartoons and shapes and how to shade and all that kinda stuff!! I got a full credit for that....also did all the drama class playbills and yearbook drawings....I loved working with kids....such fun!!!

8) 8) cool, baby...that's Gort... 8) 8)

[cerberus]

very cool gort... weren't the kids bratty at all?

[1B-DI]

That is pretty cool. I was an intern in a 5th grade class my senior year of HS but never got to do anything like that...I was basically a math tutor. That sucked. And I had to drive myself.

[gort]

The kids were great!! Hung on my every word...they had fun!! I MADE them have fun, dammit...

Bd....math, eh?

That's the only thing Gort sucks at REALLY badly...good for you though!!!
Probably why I can't do f'ing riddles too.....wrong kind of brain....

[cerberus]

woooooooo, i'm flexo now!

[1B-DI]

I HATE MATH...but at the 5th grade level it was super-easy, just basically fractions and multiplication, long division. Going into my internship, I thought I'd actually be able to teach some lessons. No such luck. I was sent out into the hall with a group of about 4 or 5 kids who just didn't understand math at all and helped them with their homework.

[gort]

Not for long if you don't quit posting so much....right now it matches ya!!

[cerberus]

yeah, but you know that my late tonight or early tomorrow it'll change, lol!

[gort]

OK......back to art.....( Zoidberg..." one 'art' please" lol )...did you check out Barkers' Flower Fairies BD?

[cerberus]

love that episode, rofl!!!!!!!!!!!......

*ahem*

sorry.

[gort]

LOTS of coffee!!! Oh, wait....art! Check out Brian Froud....

[1B-DI]

I did...still looking through some of it. They're beautiful.

[1B-DI]

Brian Froud's stuff is weird! I love it!

[gort]

Good news....love to help!!!


Yay art!

[cerberus]

gorts made everyone on the forum more artistically aware. go gort!

[gort]

Life without an appreciation af art would be just life....meh.

I would DIE!!!
I feel that film and music are also art....some, anyway......
And so is nature...ever seen a glass butterfly?? WOW.......

Oh, and I love architecture too....Gaudi, Wright etc...

[cerberus]

nah, i prefer to look at futuristic art. Stuff like prisms....now they're cool!

[gort]

Art is what you make of it....it's what you like dude!!

[cerberus]

yeah. personally i like futuristic stuff suck as that.

[gort]

There's a lot of that out there.....
Kelly Freas
Al Williamson
Wally Wood
Etc

[cerberus]

yeah, very cool stuff, in my opinion.

[jle1993]

Theatre is art, Physical, Emotional, Narrative, its all an art form

[gort]

Yup......and the human expression of those things through painting and drawing, music and dance, sculpture and literature, and all our invented means, are representative of how we are affected by the world around us!!!

Art Rules!!

[jle1993]

Art is from the soul, at least, real art is.

[gort]

And what makes up the soul, is art itself!!

[jle1993]

A soul feels, art makes you feel, the two are nessercery for each other

[gort]

Nicely put.

[jle1993]

I try my best ;)

[gort]

Now....just study up on your spelling!


Just razzing ya!! You're fine the way you are!!

[jle1993]

:lol: No prob, its true though, my spelling stinks

[gort]

What light from yonder window breaks? It is the east.....and there's lots of ranting near the sun!

[jle1993]

Oh woe is me
I've left my rants
Where all can see

Oh the shame
Look at me
The ranting dame

[frys_red_jacket]
