Rembrandt (Harmenszoon) van Rijn.... An etching of himself (1630) when he was 23/24 years old. Out of all the works he made I picked this one because it's so expressive and seemingly made with such ease.

Francis Bacon, or as I like to call him: Screaming Meat Man!!





Where mark-making, content and, ironically, perspective and illusion collide and do battle in a sublimated, aggravated orgy of almost Metal proportions!

shastania...did you ever play "darkseed"? it's an old amiga game that giger did all the artwork for, there are some seriously messed up images in that game ^.^

that pope painting is dope, it always shivers me

blue nude II by Matisse (1952)


3 musicians by Picasso (1921)

Hope this works.... 3 musicians by P. Picasso

This is a wonderful painting; both lady and ermine are so well depicted with light and shade. She looks interesting.

^^didn't it get stolen some years ago?

anyways, some more of my favs, time for Mr Hockney:

Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)


A Bigger Splash


Pearlblossom Highway


I really dig this thread

Thank you, Anna. Thought it could be nice. Most pictures posted here are beautiful pieces of art, I think.

And CL, don't know what you mean with the smiley/emoticon but I was just trying to help. And of course Picasso needs to be shown. In general I would say.

Antigone in front of dead Polynikes by Nikiphoros Lytras

that smiley was because I had already posted that same image the day before

Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth



I remember some earlier poster said he liked paintings with open expanses of nature. That reminded me of this picture. I love it.

The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke by Richard Dadd.

There's so much going on in the painting.

I can't see the second picture, the Picasso, you posted. It's still not shown. It's a little red cross on my screen. No worries, but....

Can you see it?

I love this one by Gustav Klimt, I sort of imagine myself somewhere under those blankets
