Post your favorite artist

[ftil]

I have decided to open a new tread with art as I have noticed that there are members who love art and who can’t resist hijacking a tread with art…..myself included. :biggrinjester: Love can be selfish, indeed. Secondly, after spending time with religion and mythology I need to get my balance back. I also want to look at paintings of artists posted on the art game that I am not familiar with. I like the art game tread very much.:smile5:

Anyway, I would like to invite you to post your favorite painting, photography, dance, or any other art that inspires you. I wrote dance too because when I see a beautiful paintings or photography I want to dance with joy. We also don’t have a dance and photography tread. :cryin:

Photography

This is one of those rare instances when an absolute favorite comes to mind when considering the category of photography:

Others that I admire:

Having travelled through New Mexico many times including a few visits to Ashiwi (Zuni), I had come across the following two images several times leaving a lasting impression on me:

Futurism was an artistic and social movement that originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It emphasized and glorified themes associated with contemporary concepts of the future, including speed, technology, youth and violence, and objects such as the car, the airplane and the industrial city. It was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements in Russia, England and elsewhere. The Futurists practiced in every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, industrial design,interior design, theatre, film, fashion, textiles, literature, music, architectureand even gastronomy. Key figures of the movement include the Italians Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Gino Severini, Giacomo Balla, Antonio Sant'Elia, Tullio Crali and Luigi Russolo, and the Russians Natalia Goncharova, Velimir Khlebnikov, and Vladimir Mayakovsky, as well as the Portuguese Almada Negreiros. Important works include its seminal piece of the literature, Marinetti's Manifesto of Futurism, as well as Boccioni's sculpture, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, and Balla's painting, Abstract Speed + Sound (pictured). Futurism influenced art movements such as Art Deco, Constructivism, Surrealism, Dada, and to a greater degree, Precisionism, Rayonism, and Vorticism.

Gino Severini (7 April 1883–26 February 1966), was an Italian painter and a leading member of the Futurist movement. For much of his life he divided his time between Paris and Rome. He was associated with neo-classicism and the "return to order" in the decade after the First World War. During his career he worked in a variety of media, including mosaic and fresco. He showed his work at major exhibitions, including the Rome Quadrennial, and won art prizes from major institutions.

Vorticism, was a short-lived modernist movement in British art and poetry of the early 20th century. The Vorticism group began with the Rebel Art Centre which Wyndham Lewis and others established after disagreeing with Omega Workshops founder Roger Fry, and has roots in the Bloomsbury Group, Cubism, and Futurism. Lewis himself saw Vorticism as an independent alternative to Cubism, Futurism and Expressionism.

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (14 December 1824 – 24 October 1898) was a French painter, who became the president and co-founder of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and whose work influenced many other artists. His work is seen as symbolist in nature, even though he studied with some of the romanticists, and he is credited with influencing an entire generation of painters and sculptors. One of his protégés was Georges de Feure.
