    A bit of a hero of mine is also Michael Turner. He did alot of motorsport and aviation art. Heres one of the fearsome original Spa Francorchamps circuit in 1970 thru the La Carriere kink (my favourite of his)...

    Some abstract art out there would make you wonder how difficult it is. Like the Irish artist Sean Scully, he just paints stripes and patchwork which looks easy yet his pieces sell for tens of thousands. Then again if it was that easy everyone would be doing it.

    Scully2.jpg?itok=ygd5XQSq

    But I still look at his work and think it doesnt look all that hard to recreate once you can find out the shades of colours he is using. Its certainly nowhere near as skillful as other art posted on this thread.

    Ilya and Emilia Kabakov

    The Children's Hospital. It is an installation piece.



    I have often thought all children's toys should be based around this ethos.

    Video games dolls etc ...they could nurture children teach them ..help them. :) Imagine video games that taught you a language as you played them or something.

    Just like the children's hospital.

    In fact .....i don't think any other piece of art has affected me so much in my entire life.

    Little girls should be taught philosophy by barbie dolls.

    Sorry, I never gave a description! Its from a graphic novel book about the Jack the Ripper murders called "From Hell" by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell.

    Highly recommended. Great Read. Great Art. :)

    OP, I wondered if that that was your own copy of The Scream completed during lockdown.
    But I see there are different versions link. $120m for the pastel version.

    The Milkmaid by Johannes Vermeer.

    Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.

    I think it's just stunning.

    The Veiled Christ marble sculpture by Giuseppe Sanmartino in the Cappella Sansevero, Naples (1753). Saw it last year while visiting Naples. An absolutely beautiful piece of art.

    I saw that in Naples last year and was really looking forward to getting up close but was a bit disappointed, I felt that the veil over the body appeared to be too thick and potentially masked the sculptors skill but that's just me.
    There was another piece in the same chapel that had a figure partially wrapped in a fish net, that had me scratching my head wondering how that could be possible with marble.

    Did you get to see Carravaggio's Seven Works of Mercy in the Pio Monte della Misericordia nearby? That knocked my socks off.

    Yes, I saw Carravaggio's Seven Works of Mercy ... truly magnificent. Carravaggio is my favourite artist of all time and was the reason for my trip to Naples. I loved the city with its many treasures, museums and art and had planned to return at Easter this year, however, Covid dashed my plans! I look forward to returning next year to see the other Carravaggio masterpieces I missed.

    Naples is a fantastic city, I felt safer than I would in Barcelona. Many bypass it because of it's reputation but going outside ones comfort zone can be very rewarding, great food too. Got to see his Martyrdom of St. Ursula in the Palazzo Zevalos-Stigliano, didn't make it out to Capodimonte but like you will definitely go back next year.
    Saw his Beheading of John the Baptist in Valletta just before the lockdown.

    treasury-building-sculpture

    I'm not sure if it counts, but I used to love the Woman climbing the Treasury Building, now NAMA headquarters. I think it may be gone now.

    Originally commissioned by Johnny Ronan, the sculptor's vision was of a man crawlling up, but Ronan was horrified when he seen the scaled down model. The artist here is Rowan Gillispie

    I love this. The anthropomorphism, kitsch style, and capturing of the various emotions one feels when playing poker.

    Close, but not quite right. From the bottom:
    • The green green grass of home
    • Kerry’s awesome Purple Mountain
    • Blue skies smiling at me; Nothing but blue skies do I see (Irving Berlin)

    I love modern art, no matter how simple. The power of art is in it’s capacity to be interpreted by it’s audience, offering to each observer their own interpretation; beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all that.

    This is probably the best ever thread on Boards. Compliments to the OP.

    Do album covers count? If so i've always appreciated Iron Maiden for their creative album covers.

    A Matter of Life and Death is probably my favorite album cover by them.

    Picture Gallery with Views of Modern Rome by Giovanni Paolo Panini, this was on my list of must sees on my one and only trip to the Louvre and I forgot about it, then I just happened to walk past it tucked away in a corner upstairs on the way out. Other countries would build a museum around a painting like this but that's just the way the Louvre is, too many classics to give them all their own gallery. I would have been raging if I'd missed it...
