Bluto10 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 are you interested in it? im a big lover of the classic style. the dutch masters are all over the place here and despite its omnipresence the nightwatch is still one of my favourite paintings of all time. not so keen on modernist i have to say.

Stoney Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Believe millertime's a bit of a mover and shaker in the art world, collecting several limited edition prints! 2 Link to comment
daytripping Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This Mario Testino print is going to adorn my hall when it gets done up in the coming weeks, also bought some old Vespa prints and am going to get a Pudgie Aberdeen harbour one, the Testino Kate Moss one's are all great, will get a couple at least. Not really into the old stuff, don't mind a wander round a art gallery for a look but not my style for the house. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 that ones a bit rude like. looks more like a loaded cover from the 90s! Link to comment
Dynamo Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. Cut my ear off and die and this'll be worth a fortune. I'll just wait for that and for the dough to start rolling in. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 thats pretty good dynamo. but the beauty about great art is that it can and does touch so many people over the centuries. its more than just beauty is in the eye Link to comment
daytripping Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 that ones a bit rude like. looks more like a loaded cover from the 90s! It's not rude at all! Some of the other Kate Moss Testino stuff is a lot more risque, would be fine in a bachelor pad but I wouldn't get away with them in the house, maybe behind the toilet door at a push. Link to comment
daytripping Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I like Banksy stuff as well but am thinking he might have been done to death lately, maybe not cool enough for my hall. Link to comment

That's how I feel about paintings, fine for looking at but do I really want to see it every day when I pass it, I've seen that Kate Moss picture for years and never tire of it. Link to comment

Oh family pictures are a different story, but I always find things wrong with professional prints of celebrities or models and they just end up annoying me. Maybe that's just my taste but I certainly wouldn't be spending cash on pictures of people with no meaning to me. Paintings however, are a completely different story. And yes, worldwide delivery for a very good rate. Link to comment

I ask this as I own a Banksy print. Well the wife does. Bought it for her a couple of years ago. What's unattractive about Banksy work other than the rat stuff? Link to comment

I'm not seeing Kate Moss.....well I am seeing her but the reason I'm buying it is not because it's Kate Moss, I see a beautiful woman in a very artistic pose and setting, it says sexy to me but in a subtle way,Testino's pictures catch the imagination, I like a lot of his stuff.

What's unattractive about Banksy work other than the rat stuff? perhaps i phrased it poorly. it most certainly isnt conventional. of course modern art, by its very nature, tends not to be. but i find some of his stuff a little too jokey for my tastes.in that sense to me it isnt typically artistic, more joke shop or internet photoshop sort of stuff. his subject matter can also be a bit too political for my tastes Link to comment

I liked the Vogue cover he done of Cara Delevingne (infact, I didn't notice it was him until I googled him the noo) but I see it in galleries and magazines instead of homes. Link to comment

King Robbo's work should get more of the limelight, started before Banksy and doesn't rely on stencils.If you haven't seen it, the 'Graffiti Wars' documentary is worth watching. Link to comment

By far my favourite model of the moment.Haven't seen much of her to be honest, but the Mrs (who does fashion photography) was bigging her up, so I'll trust her and your judgment. I'm doing a fashion block at college at the moment so no doubt I'll be seeing a lot of her. Link to comment

I know where you're coming from with that. I find this one incredibly clever. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/9267169/Banksy-off-the-wall.html Link to comment

What's unattractive about Banksy work other than the rat stuff? His work has less meaning when taken away from its original site. There's a piece of his about to go on sale at a Yank auction house, it was a picture of a young boy working on a sewing machine, painted on the side of a poundland store. Taking it off that wall instantly demeans it as a piece of "art". Link to comment

spamspamspam Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 We discussed all this not that long ago Bluto, you really need to learn how to use the search function on here. I'm sure you'd pick it up quick enough like, its similar to searching for tits on google but different You, being out in clog, may or may not have heard of Corrie White. While its nae art art in the arty sense the pictures are really colourful and with that, to me anyway, affa interesting. Its all water with food dye in irt being dropped onto water with other colours of food dye in it. http://www.liquiddropart.com/ Link to comment
