Art You WOULD Have In Your House - If You Could Find It

[maya]

ooh what pic did you get maya?

The full-page drawing where she stands (in her wellies) in the rain, smiling mischiveously... with the dark silhouette of tank and Booga in the background

 

[Pip]

I've found a reprint in english, but the colours are all wrong.

I want that. I want it so much. So so much.

 

[Tank Girl]

maya - excellent

 

[Pip]

I know what I want but I'll get a bollocking if I post it.

It's an early photograph of a woman getting shagged by a zebra in a jungle.

Yeah, it's just f***ing beautiful. I'll cherish it forever.

 

[Pip]

Too morbid?​

I like that.

There's an oil painting in the Wellcome Collection of a grotesquely fat man that I'd have. I forget who it's by.

no it isn't... it's Matt Colishaw's homage to Walter Klemm...which is a drawing.

Really?

I've only seen a small picture of it. Hmm. That makes me really happy, because I'm great at copying stuff
Lifesize painting of a zebra shagging a woman, here I come!

 

[Pip]

This one?

[Pip]

Well I never! Is it still on display there, by any chance?

I think the fat bloke was Daniel Lambert

I'd like a Rothko for my wall, please.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Not morbid exactly, but definitely Victorian sentimentality to the nth degree. I prefer sentimentality of a Hogarthian sort.

I must be soppy to the nth degree, then. That's my favourite painting in the National Gallery. The way she's groping with her hands, just a child really, looking totally bewildered and uncomprehending. I can stare at that painting for ages, contemplating being her usually. Sometimes I'm the executioner.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I really like Munch's self-portraits. He did them throughout his life, and they show the progression from an intense, morbid young man to a rather bitter, morbid old man, as he is here.

 

[zenie]

That's lovely

I want a Sylvia Ji original, have emailed her about a commission but she hasn't got back to me yet

Just have to get a print, love this but cant seem to find it to buy, found other ones.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Munch as a young man.

That's the one

This thread has been an education.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Virgin Mother by Damien Hirst, I won't put up a photo because it might be a bit gruesome for some people but it's the best thing he's done.

 

[Pip]

I LOVE that, not gruesome at all.

Bit big though.

 

[sleaterkinney]

I could put it in the garden outside the front door. I find it really beautiful too.

Not if you're easily disturbed

Originals of these two for me:

The Persistence of Memory (1931)

The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1954)

 

[spanglechick]

i've loved this klee painting for ages, but always assumed the original would be quite large, whereas in fact it's only about a foot square. the small scale changes my relationship to the painting - i still love it, but i'm not sure we have the right wallspace for it the size it is.

i love lots of rothkos - we have massive high ceilings in our living room, and could carry off a full size print, but most printshops stop at poster sizes, ime... i could get one done myself but it would be megabucks. plus, who knows whether it'd work in a different flat?

 

[Part 2]

I always wanted this

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Actually, I can't live with my own art. It's a bit to vain, or something. Thankfully have plenty of artist friends to swap work with. May not be as brilliant as some of the examples posted here, but it means much more and they're real paintings/photographs/sculptures etc. Prints are good when done well, but the real thing is some much more intense.

Full size print...

 

[QueenOfGoths]

This is called "The Frenzy of Ecstasy" by Podkowinski, and it is the Best

I think I've seen that - is it in the Gallery of 19th Century Polish Arts in Krakow?

Mine is another Polish painter - Jan Matejko. I like all his work but this is my favourite

 

[_pH_]

i'd quite like this:

but I suspect it wouldn't fit

or anything else by Andy Goldsworthy.

That used to be my desktop.
