What is your favorite painting?

Post a picture of it in this thread and if you can tell why the better.

I like his style.
Schiele

His art speaks to me.

That’s not art, that’s just stupid :smiley:
Joke. I’m a snob.

Art can easily be stupid

As we’ve seen.

It’s too hard to narrow it down to one painting (two wasn’t much easier).

Vermeer is one of my favorite painters, what exquisite use of light. The Milkmaid has an understated, almost poetic feel to it:

And for luminous colors and the emotions evoked, Millais’ Ophelia:

Just…just…because it’s awesome!
Turner

Are you serious?

Yes. It’s a social commentary that you probably dont get. Simply beautiful.

Pfff. Social commentary? It’s an advertisement! Crude fucking advert designed on computer (not a painting, check your own thread title). Whatever you see other than the advert is what you see. I could interpret a piece of shit (literally) as social commentary. Wank stain.

Some people get it. Some dont. That’s the beauty of art.

Advertisement is not art.
Fuck Warhol.

(I’m just prejudiced against the production method, graphics is design art is art, and sometimes mongrels are bred)

Keep studying art. You will “get” the masterpiece after aquiring more knowledge. It is a brilliant painting.

eh? painting? are you a complete idiot? It’s ten-a-penny and requires about as much skill as operating a toaster.

Hard to choose, but yeah…

I’ve been studying art far longer than you. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

Do I need to explain its meaning to you?

Let’s keep this civil, Rebel.
