Bob Ross
With all of the Bob Ross’s I’ve seen over the years, I see what he wants me to see. That’s success by any measure.
Hunter Biden.
Going thru comments and hoping that someone would pick him.
You never disappoint Stucky, never!
Salvadore Dali.
The Hallucinogenic Toreador hanging in the Dali museum in St. Petersburg FL. Amazing!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hallucinogenic_Toreador
I like Dali also, his bizarre paintings that really don’t make any sense seems to be were the world is today.
Me
Can you post some of your work? I would love to see it.
Did she show you her Nude Descending a Staircase?
I’m one of the many who haven’t seen it.

You’re OK Mygirl. No maybes about it.
Nice Klimpt.
Your work is as AP commented, excellent. You should post some!
Without a doubt, Philipp Otto Runge. His Husenbeck Children and Der Morgen are two of the greatest German Romanticism paintings of that period. If you ever visit Hamburg these paintings reside at Kunsthalle Hamburg and the rest of the collection is well worth your afternoon.
Hieronymus Bosch
Kid Rock
Amateurish compared to good artists. At best about the equivalent of a run of the mill university art student.
Yes, I have seen what the run of the mill art student is capable of. Hitler was no better than the average art student, perhaps not even that good, as he had little imagination and creativity. He was not much better than a draftsman, hence why he stuck primarily to depicting buildings. His works of living things were very poor.
He had little talent compared to good artists, but was much better than joe blow of course. He wasn’t dedicated enough, a la Klimt for instance, to become good, and he had little natural talent, a la Picasso. He was just an amateur artist that sold a few works. They are a dime a dozen. You can find hundreds of such walking through Paris and Amsterdam.
“Mr. Mellon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt.”
“You too, huh? She’s showing it to everybody.”
“Well, she’s very proud of it.”
“I’m proud of mine too, but I don’t go waving it around the party.”
“Exceptional painting.”
“Oh, the painting!!!”
Another priceless bit of Rodney, which seems oddly fitting around here:
“Hey Wang — I think this place is restricted, so don’t tell em you’re Jewish, OK? Fine.”
Picasso is a great, because of his use of light, but his eyes limited him to that focus.
I agree with you.
These paintings were done in order to qualify to enter the academe. To rephrase what I wrote above: the Jews controlled the institutions of higher learning; just as they do today, probably more so; therefore they controlled who get in and who does not.
In the academy, he would have been around instructors who would have given him a greater understanding of art. That being a said, Hitler had a fine sense of composition.
This was one of Hitlers later works.
You know nothing of painting. Really nothing. My wife is a painter, you are an asshole.
Don’t display your ignorance in such a public settling: if you paid attention to what has been produced “by the equivalent of a run of the mill university art student,” you’d realize Adolph was a fine artist; and these paintings were made in order to qualify to enter the art academe (in Vienna?); his rejection by the academe during the time of fully integrated Jews – as is the case in the US – you’d realize how important the Jew Question is.
Renoir
Michelangelo
Extraordinary talent combined with lifelong work. Amazing what he accomplished. What he could do with marble is beyond my comprehension. Da Vinci was equally talented but went in perhaps too many directions outside of art to match Michelangelo’s artistic achievements overall.
Norman Rockwell , the world he painted is gone forever……..
It never existed.
I love the Dusseldorf school paintings (i.e. the Bierstadt seen here) as well as the Hudson River School.
M. C. Escher
In my estimation — and I fully agree with what you say based upon the 2 paintings you’ve supplied here — his paintings are of the same class and feel as a truly great photograph of the same subject matter …
I think we should all chip in and get Archie an autographed, first edition copy of Mein Kampf!!!
my 5 year old granddaughter
Caravaggio – The Conversion of St Paul. Not only because of his technique, but also the significance of the event.
Artist & thug.
Seen a lot of Michelangelo’s works. He operated in all types of media. It’s hard to have a favorite.
Benjamin West
Frank Frazetta
Salvador Dali, but I appreciate all kinds of art work from throughout the past millennia. I generally go out of my way to visit museums in cities I travel to. Great Dali sculpture museum in Paris that is quite out of the way.
It has to be Vermeer.
I used to go to the Gardner Museum in Boston just to be able to stand a foot from the Vermeer that used to be there and look at it.
I was going to say Caravaggio, Klimt & Vermeer. You guys beat me to it.
Goya -La Maja desnuda. In 5th grade we had a book of great artists paintings in our classroom – of couse one of my classmates found it, all the boys used to sneak looks at a naked woman! (beat the Sears catalog for a cheap thrill)
My favorite sculptures are by Rodin, though overall Michelangelo or Da Vinci are probably the greatest.
Joy Postal. I have 5 examples around the house.
Dali, Escher, & Magritte all get honorable mention as do many of the realists just because I like realists.
For my real favorite it’s a toss-up between Robt. Crumb & S.Clay Wilson. There will never be another work as pivotal or seminal as Mr. Natural or Captain Pissgums & His Pervert Pirates.
Winslow Homer. I love his paintings on rural life, fishing and hunting, and he virtually created modern style watercolor painting, in they way he used the paint. His oil paintings of new new england fisherman, schooners, marine storms, even coast guard rescues, make him rather unique.
Had to take a business trip to St. Louis once and made a point of getting to whatever their big art museum is and saw a huge exhibition of his paintings. Truly wonderful.
Raphael
Edward Hopper.
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-46205604
it’s kind of like music
I like most of it, but not all (rap, modern)
hands down, my favorite museum is Musée d’Orsay
AP, thanks. The only examples of AH’s art I have seen before the delightful paintings you presented here today were several pencil or maybe charcoal renderings of large buildings with few or no people, drawn from a distance (to get the huge buildings in frame) so that the humans were little more than distant stick figures. The drawings were cold, obviously selected to convey the artist’s coldness.
My favorite painting is the Arnolfini Wedding by Jan van Eyck. Close runner-up, Dali’s Crucifixion with a tesseract standing in for the cross.
Gustave Dore
Winslow Homer’s Caribbean watercolors . I can feel the breezes and the sun on my skin .
If I had to choose just one painting as my favorite it would be Kromskoi’s “Portrait Of an Unknown Woman”
Tom Thomson (Group of 7)
If you walked into a condo/house where a cocktail party was ongoing and saw Kincades on the wall, you’d know the liquor was goimg to suck, there’d be box wine & the cheapest pony keg of beer possible.
Meh. Stop trying to make us love his works. His paintings are no where near the quality of the masterpieces posted above. Add that to the fact that he was also a horrible person who was an evil murderer. Just stop
My all time favorit artist is R Crumb.
I laughed and laughed at the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Mr Natural.
Remington, Olaf Wieghorst, R. Scott, Walt Gonske….all iconic artists of the West.
I forgot to mention Tim Cox!
Wieghorst played “Swede” the gun shop/general store owner in El Dorado!!!
And a montage of his paintings were used in the opening credits.
A most excellent choice of artist and genre, Debunkerita!!!
Bruegel the Elder, Hunters in the Snow
Balance, flow, energy, and depth are largely what make a composition engaging.
https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/hunters-in-the-snow-winter/WgFmzFNNN74nUg?hl=en&ms=%7B%22x%22%3A0.5%2C%22y%22%3A0.5%2C%22z%22%3A9.54569432324892%2C%22size%22%3A%7B%22width%22%3A1.530501191447298%2C%22height%22%3A1.2375000000000005%7D%7D
I am a photographer of long standing and I love great compositions. Hitler’s hits the mark of greatness in that regard. There is great peace in the view as man and nature exist in harmony. The seemingly casually placed elements belies the genius of the composition. Tension gets expressed as well as it should by the slight overlapping of elements as seen in the trees against the building. That’s a risk the greats take and others fear to take on. The eye explores, rests, and is encouraged to explore more, ending up with a mindful appreciation for the artist. I had no idea Hitler painted, so this aspect of his character is very surprising to me.
No favorite. The talented ones are so different.
Before perspective, I’m really fond of Botticelli and was amazed at the Uffizi Museum seeing the Birth of Venus painting.
Van Gogh, Remington, and Ilya Repin among others, but I like this almost 7′ x 12′ large Repin painting (Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks) and the story behind it. After the Turkish Sultan told them to surrender in a pompous letter, one variation of their supposed response goes something like this.
Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!
O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil’s kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight art thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with thy naked arse? The devil shits, and thy army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons. We have no fear of thy army; by land and by sea we will battle with thee. Fuck thy mother.
Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig’s snout, mare’s arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow. Screw thy own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, thou lowlife. Thou wouldst not even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we’ll conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t own a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year with the Lord. The day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
— Koshovyi otaman Ivan Sirko, with the whole Zaporozhian Host
