It's a bit fucked up but I like Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya. Not sure it's one you'd have a print of in your living room though! 

 

I'd love to go to the Prado and the whole Paseo del Arte in Madrid. To see the above (below too), Guernica by Picasso and Las Meninas by Diego Velázquez. 

The fact that you think its only “ a bit fucked up” is the revealing thing.

Ha. 

 

It's from Goya's black paintings. And was originally painted on the walls of his house. It's intriguing to think why he'd paint such a painting. And why he'd do it on his living room wall. That's a bit fucked up too.

Ha ha.

 

I'm a big Jheronomus Bosch fan as well. Here's the Haywain Triptych then obviously the Constable one. How could two paintings of Haywains painted 300 years apart be less similar? Don't do drugs kids, stick to cider,  that's the lesson here.

My youngest and I are currently trying to recreate this in oils as part of his homework on the Thames. I may post the finished creation but in the light of my experiences on the breakfast thread, maybe not. 

If you do, start a new thread. For, erm... "filing" purposes...

Came across the Bruegel museum in Antwerp a couple of years back, didn't really know anything about them. The centre piece of the collection is called "Dull Gret", full on Bosch vibes.

Ha ha. Yes maybe but actually no. I'm a hard no. My own attempts at painting will stay safe in the confines of the shed. I have learnt the GF is a cruel unforgiving place.

Another cracker. I don't know too much about art but I reckon Dali had seen a few of these Dutch painting in his time. That face to the left hand side and the fish in the bottom middle is straight out of Dali. Monty python influenced massively as well, look at the fish eating the leg in the bottom right or the bug with the face in the far bottom left.  

 

They were painting this mad stuff at the time of the great fire of London when their contempories were making a living painting monarchs or scenes from ancient Greece. Had to be some sort of drugs involved. Totally brilliant.

I've got a little over two hours to decide if I really need to buy this at auction. It speaks to me...

I've been watching it for a week or so, but now it's getting a little out of my price range (add 20% premium + tax)

 

 

Apparently I'm not the only one with exceptionally good taste, as it's close to $1000 now.

 

Still a bargain, but I'd rather spend it on a new bike. or Tequila.

The Prado is ace.

 

I've always loved this self-portrait of Anton Rafael Mengs in the Walker Art Gallery, so I was looking forward to seeing more of his stuff at the Prado. Turns out it's mostly shite, because he was painting overly prettified garbage to please the inbred philistines of the royal court. He does have one good painting in there: another self-portrait.

The GF forgives, it just doesn't forget...

I love this. Hochbahnhof Bulowstrasse by Leo Lesser Ury.

 

[Captain Willard]

The youngest’s one take on Claude Monet’s Houses of Parliament 

Not shabby for a 9 year old though I may have lent a hand at key points.

Just been to the Van Gogh immersive experience in East London. Really good, the VR experience is genuinely mind blowing.

[easytoslip]

I know fuck all about art but if you see  something that captures your imagination well that's art in itself and what it's meant to do. 

Apart from talking pissed shite I think Rembrandt, Caravaggio and William Hogarth are worth a second look.

I went a few weeks back York. It was, indeed, superb.

The current exhibit in the turbine hall at the Tate is ethereal floating sculptures. They are not tethered so move around like silent aliens. Really impressive.

Just purchased these lovely Matisse.

And another one.

Went to the Francis Bacon exhibition at the Roysl Academy today. Absolutely brilliant. Well worth a visit if you’re in London.

'Lesser' Ury? I'd say he's better than that spoon-bending shit-rocket.

Yves Klein. Saw an exhibition at Tate Liverpool a few years ago. The intensity of his colour is quite brilliant but it did tend to be a bit ..... blue.
