Popular Post Designer1 Posted August 8, 2014 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Ah OK. I'll put this one on as I know we have a few movie fans too. Basically, I attempted to create Frank from Donnie Darko in the style of Edvard Munch but giving his expression a happier tone. Should point out that the above is a comp of photos taken from different angles. The actual canvas is 36x48".

Cheers for the compliment, always nice to hear I have an account on Society6 with some of my other bits and bobs on and they do prints on there, so I might add this at some point.

Xann Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Quote You know what? I'm sick of pretending. I went to art school, wrote a dissertation called "The Elevation of Art Through Commerce: An Analysis of Charles Saatchi's Approach to the Machinery of Art Production Using Pierre Bourdieu's Theories of Distinction", have attended art openings at least once a month for the last five years, even **** purchased pieces of it, but the other night, after attending the opening of the new Tracey Emin retrospective at the Hayward Gallery, I'm finally ready to come out and say it: I just don't think I "get" art. Vice on Emin and modern art. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Ah, this thread again! Noticed the Hockney on the previous page. I'm a fan too. I like this one: Because it reminds me of the great Cheever story 'The Swimmer', as well as Mad Men! I've grown to become quite a fan of Manet too. Good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 12, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2015 This christmas I will be treating myself to a couple of Hopper prints. I like the space and the quiet and the silence in them. I'm a fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the space and the quiet and the silence in them. I'm a fan. Yeah I like a bit of Hopper's stuff. As you say there's a quietness about them, a sort of remoteness. Reminds me in part of Magritte and the influences of both can be see in the stuff Storm Thorgerson used to do. A strange calm is present in them. Having said that, I think I'm getting a print of Bal du moulin de la Galette by Renoir for my new place (when I eventually move in) which is a bit of a contrast to all the quiet remoteness.

Moving $142.4m is difficult - moving a painting from one country to another, less so.

OutByEaster? Posted December 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2015 I can't remember, it was a while back - but I did a quick google after typing that and there's loads out there about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I've heard that theory about art quite few times. Surely it only works if you can then 'cash out' some time fairly soon. But I don't see a market in rapid re-sales for slightly less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
