Very surprised Burkhills masterpiece 'The Rock' has yet to be posted.

One artist I didn't learn about at School was Wassily Kadinsky, a Russian artist who is credited with painting one of the first purely abstract works. I love his paintings. This is his Composition VII from 1913.

Is there a multi coloured cock in the bottom left corner?

No

[VladimirIlyich]

No

Art is subjective and it looks like one.

Correct.

[TheHowieLama]

Are those all the fellas she has killed and buried in the backyard?

[Captain Turdseye]

She likes skulls then, yeah?

So. Worth. It.

You know when you get good at a particular thing and stick with it? I think she noticed she could draw skulls.

Your friend hasn't recently taken a trip to YouTube HQ by any chance?

Went to Florence a few years back. (Honeymoon in 2011).  Absolutely loved - and really got into - all the Renaissance stuff, but these days I can barely remember the name of any artist who isn't a turtle.

If you go to Florence, you're best bet is to get a Firenze Card, which gets you access into about a million places in a 72 hour period.

I have sold art prints to John Parrot, Sammy Lee and Scully. Can't remember what they bought.

Not an expert on art myself but it's great to have look at the paintings and marvel on how they done it all those years ago.

The likes of James Fox ad his documentaries do a good job of explaining and introducing you to it

Caravaggis is terrific , a bit of a loon apparently as is Rembrandt who painted himself throughout his life, I also think William Hogarth is great to along with the more modern ones like Hopper etc though they're all great in their own way.

[King Emlyn]

Paul Gauguin is where the party’s at

If we are talking Art, I am a big fan of Vanderlay.

Rolf Harris can paint a picture.

Sorry I have absolutely no idea what this means.

Sorry I have absolutely no idea what this means.

Me neither,i like Gauguinsome fellow French man Toulouse Letrec especially that one , I think it's called Absinthe, the old man with a pipe and the woman next to him looks pissed off.

I've always liked landscapes and artist's paintings of towns,cities,coves,bays,etc. I also have always liked paintings of sporting events and great racehorses for example.

Don't anybody dare put up the Sopranos 'General and his horse!'
