The old Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark album Crush had a pastiche of his famous "Early Sunday Morning" for its cover, very apt for a record which at first seemed quiet and respectable but turned out to be a very melancholy, bleak little affair - The Lights Are Going Out was identical to an early Sisters of Mercy track (minus the trying too hard to sound like the Velvet Underground nonsense they indulged it when Ben Gunn was still with them). But yeah, Hopper, no one quite captured the mood of "being lonely in a place of so many" quite like him.

Sooky Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I know he isn't always taken particularly seriously by some of the art worlds (the snobs!) but I'm a big fan of Jack Vettriano. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been for a while, but I do like to have a wander round Kelvingrove now and again. I've never been particularly artistic myself but paintings fascinates me. I find it remarkable that someone like Lowry, more famous for his "busy" works, can also come up with something so simple like this Seascape, which tbh a picture doesn't do justice to. Is that called "Belgrano"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 One artist I've always admired in a transfixed, childlike fashion is Gustav Dore. If you wrote something which you find in the "Classical" section of your local bookshop, he's probably done an engraving of it: Heaven in Dante's Divine Comedy Lucifer running away in Milton's Paradise Lost He also seems to have liked painting Scotland - Loch Lomond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Great thread! Another Van Gogh fan here and 'The Starry Night', shown up thread is one of my favourites. For me though, it's edged by the similarly themed 'Starry Night over the Rhone." Interestingly, images from the Hubble Telescope suggests that Vincent's psychotic episodes may have allowed him to observe the physical phenomenon of turbulent flow - hence the stars' appearance as swirls of light. The Fluid Dynamics of 'The Starry Night'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I like Hopper, I think he captured the ordinary everyday stuff quite beautifully. I was at Disneyland Paris a few years back and they had a 4ft square version of Office in a Small City hanging at the end of our corridor. Looked great that size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 On 11/10/2016 at 23:49, Theo Snelders said: Anyone like Turner? The Fighting Temeraire There was an interesting discussion about this on R4 the other morning. Turner was an early adopter of new colours and some of the blues in this were being seen for the first time. He also used a pure black in the funnel of the tugboat which is apparently a big artistic no-no and he was criticised for it. Funnily enough, the funnel is in the wrong place - it should be further back above the boiler and between the paddles but Turner thought this interfered with the lines of the Temeraire so moved it forward. When the painting went to the printers to be mass produced, the printer moved the funnel into it's "correct" position. Turner found out and went nuts, insisting it be put back where he wanted it but the first print run had already gone out. Also, there's nowhere on the Thames where you could see a setting sun like that - a geographical impossibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
