Anybody a fan?
To clarify, I don't mean badly drawn pictures of The Rock or Michael Barrymore with a stonker on.
Proper art.
I've gained a bit more appreciation for it in recent times.
I'm by no means an art connoisseur, but a fan of stuff by the likes of Klimt, Rothko, Miro, Monet and the classics from the likes of Caravaggio and Velazquez.
Also like some Japanese stuff, particularly Hokusai and Hiroshige. Zhong Biao is an interesting modern Chinese artist who does some good stuff with a bit of a Banksy feel to it.
And I find the Art Of....(Spain, France, China etc) series of BBC documentaries by Andrew Graham Dixon to be very interesting. The BBC An Art Lovers' Guide series is decent too. Season 2 starts soon and has them visiting Lisbon, Beirut and Baku.
Discuss.... favourite artists, paintings etc, recommended books or documentaries?
