Art For Thought

I created another series, because why not? Or boredom, choose your pick.

I told you I would bring you another stack of some of my favorite pieces of art, so I did. I live up to my occasional promises.

397 by Pierre Soulages

397

Forgive me, but I'm not entirely sure whether this piece is titled 397 or Peinture, but I wanna say it's called 397. I love this simplistic painting. I love the color and how so little says so much. Again, simplistic at heart. Even if it's just been a good 34 years, it is still impressive that it is still so vivid.

Francoise with a bow in her hair by Pablo Picasso

Francoise With A Bow In Her Hair

So sue me, but I'm not a big fan of Picasso. His style of art is just not my favorite, it's too strange for me. But this? When he sketches? Is a wonderment to me, why did he have to revolutionize and change art? In this case, I wish he stuck somewhat with the norm, not paintings, just his good ole' sketches and life could be beautiful again.

Nocturne in Black and Gold -- The Fallen Rocket by Whistler

Nocturne in Black and Gold -- The Fallen Rocket

I love love love this painting! Ever since I first saw it, I fell in love. Why? Well, I'm a sucker for dark blues, greens, and touches of gold. So, clearly this was a match made in heaven. There are just some of these artists, where you ain't loving their work, and then suddenly but surely they somehow have one masterpiece that just changes your perspective of that artist. Whistler is one of those artists.

Study for The Spanish Dance

This painting. This artist. I mean seriously, there is nothing wrong with the whole thing. First, let's back up. John Singer Sargent is most likely my favorite artist, I say most likely because it is just that hard for me to decide. Again, let me repeat and say, vibrant pops of color, simplicity, I'm drawn to it, could be a disease.

Crossing Boundaries by Anila Quayyam Agha

Crossing Boundaries

Finally something other than simple! Clearly, because of all the little details to make the shadows. I imagine it took some time because learning about artists, you learn that they take soo long. But worth it if the end goal looks like this!

And now I get to take an art history this week, pray for me will you?

Have fun folks, and I hope you enjoyed!
