I made an impromptu visit to the National Gallery last week and headed straight to my favourite painting, The Execution Of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche.
I've always found this a fascinating piece of work and it got me wondering if fellow WHOer's would like to share their favourite piece....

I'll join the clear majority on here for The Fighting Temeraire.

Picasso's Guernica is probably my favourite abstract painting.

Yes, they're really cool. They have a futurism look too them which is another era I have a lot of time for

Going to Damien Hurst's restaurant in a few weeks.

Bet there will be pill boxes there.

If there's a sheep in spunk in a glass case I'm out of there.

Re: Art

I went through a phase of googling people I saw on blue plaques around London. They always seemed really obscure people so unwanted to know what the fuss was about to warrant a plaque.

One that stood out for me was one I saw in upper norwood on the way to palace away in about 2004. Camille Pissarro, exiled from France by war due to his Dutch nationality. In my opinion one of the true impressionists of his time. Painted mainly France and the French colonies. My favourite was 'two women on a beach' in St marten I think. So simple but so life-like.

Whilst here he painted lots of late Victorian south London suburbia of which I have a couple of prints.

I know that googling blue plaque beneficiaries may have more than a whiff of lavender about it but I was glad I did.

Re: Art

Francisco Goya...

When I look at his paintings of people the detail is so good I can almost feel in my hands the quality of the silks and satins he frequently painted just by looking at them.

Amazing

Re: Art

Of course Turner exemplified the Romantic notion of the Sublime. I love his stuff, especially the Lake District work. Goya and Delacroix are two other favourites for different reasons.

Re: Art

Im a graphic designer and have always been fascinated with Cassandre's work, in fact, art deco design as a whole. Cassandre isn't strictly an artist but amazing all the same:

Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon. Game changer.

Re: Art

Turner is my favourite painter, but my favourite painting is An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump by Joseph Wright of Derby.
The last time I popped into the National Gallery it was on loan somewhere. When it comes back (it might already be back??) its definitely worth a viewing if you haven't seen it.

Re: Art

The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch is without doubt the most mind-blowing painting I have ever seen. First time I saw it, at the Prado in Madrid, I was completely transfixed by it - it was literally jaw-dropping. The imagination involved in creating it is staggering, especially when you realise it was painted in the 15th century. Goodness knows how he got it past the religious censors of his day. It's more like something by Dali, and was a big influence on him, apparently. Saw it again more recently and had to be dragged away.

This picture which is in the National Gallery, is the best painting I have ever seen, and I have been in a few galleries in Italy, Germany, Edinburgh, France and Holland . Nothing beats this. I stood for twenty minutes looking at it when I first saw it. Rembrandt is the Don.

I remember seeing Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World on a programme a while back, and it has fascinated me ever since. Finally got to see it in the MoMA in NY yesterday.

Re: Art

I do like the old masters but I do like a bit of modern too, especially Roy Lichtenstein. Ever since I was a kid and see the 'wham' jet fighter painting, I've always wanted to paint it on that massive scale.. I've tried to convince Missues loads of times it will look good on living room wall, she's tipped me bollocks.. Once I've built my workshop it's going whole 25' length of it!
