Monkeys Fist 41379 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Well, I can draw. My brother got the lions share of the artistic genes in our family, he's a graphic designer. I do love art though, me and Mrs. Fist will have a stroll down Armstrong Bridge now and again, although most of the stuff there is pish. I can stand in front of an image,sculpture or building and marvel at it for ages though , if it's something that catches me. With an impeccable taste in books I have to say! Has he bought one?

Kevin 1 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Skunkers, will be going mental about this place like: top three threads about art, recipes and keeping yourself trim What about this..... You have mentioned toontastic and i think that is much more your sort of board, that board has cracking debates on hiring childminders and gardeners and how to do the guardian crossword. I would add that in your quest to win a shitty fucking competition you spammed this board 24/7 for a month. they were debating the cost of childcare and commenting how much money they are all on it reminds me of the Gosforth park hotel in the old days full of fucking tossers i prefer this place more spit and sawdust and like a dirty old boozer where you can spit and fart and no one gives a fuck. Well I say, I thought some people had manners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being dragged round the national gallery by me sister and nana when I was about 10, and I resented being there, all I could think about was how the toon were getting on at Watford. There's an awful lot of pretentious bullshit in art. I think it's also how things are presented. To your average 10 year old, the National Gallery will be torture. Present the art in a way that engages people and a lot more "ordinary" folk will be in to it. Art is everywhere though, The Tyne Bridge, posters, record sleeves/ Cd covers.

Go to the northern bit of the beach in relation to the castle and paint the crashing waves coming in with a grey sky and the castle on the right. One of my favourite places in the world.

Generally though unless it's an artists drawing of a football stadium or a big pair of tits it's not gonna draw my attention. Rocky's son drew a canny painting in Rocky 4 iirc.

Any good for you? Not moody enough and I'm not impressed by the detail. Needs to be one of them neets even tramps find somewhere warm to stay. Exactly the right spot. I loved that advert of that very spot nationwide with "Every breath you take" as the song. Edited February 25, 2011 by LeazesLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3161 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 This would do although the exact Miro if I could have it would be Figures and Star, 1949. Btw Berlin has to be home to some of the best art galleries you'll ever wander through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7125 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Wouldn't be a painting... unless it was the roof of the sistine chapel (with the chapel attached and without the thousands of gawkers). I'd say a number of building would be classified as art, but they too are impractical. So if it was to be something to go in my house I'd like it to be something that I can look upon from multiple angles so would be leaning toward a sculpture. David wouldn't fit in my house. Venus de Milo would, but isn't that interesting. Quite like the Thinker but it too is too large. So all said and done I'd have Tutankhamun's Mask. being able to gaze upon something so ancient yet beautiful would be amazing. If I thought about it more I'd probably come up with some alternatives..

snakehips 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Art's a load of shit tbh. I wouldn't take any of these if offered for free, unless i could sell 'um for profit. Oh, Kevin, you have soooooo much to learn in life. I hope you re-read this thread in 10-20 years time. I have various classic artworks as my moving wallpaper, but the one picture I am choosing is one I don't have downloaded: Girl With A Pearl Earring - a most majestic painting.

Toonraider 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Me it has to be the Mona Lisa love that Painting Spoken like someone who genuinely can't think of another painting. This would be mine. It's grotty, it's grimy, but it's real. I've got no art culture in me at all really, which is strange seeing as though my mother was a professional artist, but see this painting by Lowry it tells it's own story to me, as nearly all of his do. They say to me he's just some cunt from the gritty North West of England who liked a pint, he's nee van Gogh but he had a gann. If you look at this picture here, not only did he have a go, he tells a story within his painting look at it. It screams "we're hard working northern cunts who are trying to get by", and he has his own ultra unique style. Give me this anyday than some fuckin elaborate pish with some fuckin naked Italian with his small cock stickin oot pointing. I really like Lowry's work. Me too, you beat me to it. His paintings don't depress me, they take me to another time and place. They have feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His main muse after Salford as he enjoyed the similarity of the people, apparently. I realise that's still OOT btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
