Seeing as some of you are enjoying being exposed to the world of Fine Art.... Here is my latest offering. Can anyone name the work and the Artist? This one might be a bit tough, but no hints.  If anyone in the BadWeb Goon squad (you know who you are), would like to try. Have at it...  | ||

Interesting, I have to ask the question though: did a human create the image or is it a natural phenomenon? If not, It's not a fair challenge. The way I see it, it's not really art. It would be like walking up to a bug crushed against a wall and pointing to the mess and calling it art... | ||

Or like pissing in a jar and throwing a crucifix in it? | ||

"like pissing in a jar and throwing a crucifix in it": Technically yes, it could be considered an artistic statement. In my mind it's not very pleasant, and to some very insulting, but- oh well. I've encountered FAR worse on display in major galleries. That's what Freedom of expression is all about. You learn that very lesson quickly in Art school... | ||

Keep the paintings coming... While we all have a common interest in Buells, it's great that we can also appreciate painting, aircraft design, etc. We learn from each other not just about motorcycles, but other vital stuff, too. | ||

I like the kind of samurai feeling here. "I'm at peace, having a nap, I'd like you to be at peace too. If you don't feel that way, see the claw? Your call." The artist has agents in Japan and Canada. There are buyers all over the world and a number of people have "first option" with his agents. The artist has an interesting view on machinery and technology working with nature. He also recently got a contract for some of his toy designs. Luke Turvey: http://www.coroflot.com/luketurvey Caution: a couple of pieces will be nsfw. You should be able to guess by the thumbnails.

Some Eye Kandi for you  | ||

Above: "Composition VII" Wassily Kandinsky 1913 Composition VII is the pinnacle of Kandinsky's pre-World War One artistic achievement. The creation of this work involved over thirty preparatory drawings, watercolors and oil studies. Each of these is included in the exhibition, documenting the deliberate creative process used by Kandinsky in his compositions. Amazingly, once he had completed the preparatory work, Kandinsky executed the actual painting of Composition VII in less than four days. The exhibition includes a series of four photographs taken between November 25 and 28, 1913, offering a fascinating record of Kandinsky's artistic procedure. Through all of the preparatory works and in the final painting itself, the central motif (an oval form intersected by an irregular rectangle) is maintained. This oval seems almost the eye of a compositional hurricane, surrounded by swirling masses of color and form. In Composition VII's final form, Kandinsky has obliterated almost all pictorial representation. Art scholars, through Kandinsky's writings and study of the less abstract preparatory works, have determined that Composition VII combines the themes of The Resurrection, The Last Judgment, The Deluge and The Garden of Love in an operatic outburst of pure painting. |
