My bag has to be the exclusive & unique classic five bar Tesco's plastic carrier.
It's the must have object immobilising the true essence of fashion form & function

Mr Hopper is pretty good, especially when he's done by Jo Burt...

... don't ask me why, but I really do like the dark Rothko's.
The Rothko room in the tate Modern, when quiet, is a lovely place. I like to take a cup or three of good strong coffee, maybe a book and a cushion (the bench in the middle of the room though beautifully made, is not very comfortable). oh, and tobacco... and some loud/crazy music should the mood take me.
As I said, don't ask me why, but hey.

My favourite decorative era has to be Art Deco and Erte was a master

Very busy with work last I heard. Will pass on all your regards, thanks guys kiss
I can appreciate how clever some art is and I can appreciate beautiful things interpreted in beautiful ways and I can appreciate technical skill.
But art just doesn't move my soul in the way that music does. I know it does other people because the woman formerly known as wife was one such. In many respects I just dont "get" art. It has never made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck or moved me to tears or made me laugh out loud. Music does this to me at least once a week.
This might sound as bit unlikely, but for a modern living artist...............Rolf Harris !!!!
I'm usually into more traditional stuff, but this guys imagination really, really caught mine

I get what you are saying... and I used to be the same way.. and still am in some respects.
That is why it is particular art that 'moves' me. I need to know the thinking behind the work. What has led to the work happening.
I was at a conference recently and one of the workshops had work being shown that was created by people that I am 'involved' with. I am unable to go into detail, but I was literally speechless. I knew the people and their history and I was floored by their passion and how articulately they demonstrated it in pictures/ drawings and photographs. If I hadn't been there with people who would have tortured me I would have been crying. Guess you just have to find what rocks your boat ?

hr giger is the only art book i have ever bought....not sure if its because i appreciate the artistry in his work or i'm just a perve smile
the latter.
Quote by splendid_
the latter.

i do do it so well though biggrin
are we just talking paintings??? if not then ....................
Must admit I do like well photographed shibari too.
If it's painted art that we're talking about then .....

.... I do like Banksy
Thanks easy the rodent bouncers made me laff and the lass earching the solider made me think, I shall explore Banksy a bit I think.
Love Banksy too :thumbup:
Julian Beever, pavement artist - I especially love this one:
I love Dali too. I don't care what he was on he was brilliant smile
That lovley too Cherry--tite google images will be my friend.

Anglo Saxon works of art. Both have practical purposes, the top one is a brooch to hold a cloak together. But the workmanship is incredible. The brooch is made by soldering incredibly fine gold wire to a gold disc. The 'cells' made are then filled with crushed glass and fired to melt it. The round bits are often Garnets.
Remembering that these were made in the 7th or 8th century AD (maybe 300 years BEFORE the Norman conquest) makes it even more incredible.
ooohhh chezza, i LOVE hos work to...its just amazing! :thumbup:
