Murf - I agree the guy in the BBC clip is a pretentious twit. But that does't mean the art he's talking about is pretentious.

Re: Post your favourite work of art here
Since this appears to be the art thread excuse me for hijacking it, but it feels like performing a guerrilla gig in the middle of another group's guerrilla gig.
Sometimes the pictures posted on the fiso pub picture battle are quite intriguing. This one posted by murf caught my attention:
Obviously, it's not my favourite work of art. It's a still from a video piece produced by Icelandic artist Unnur Andrea Einardsdottir for the Cologne Online Film Festival as part of a competition. Some of the other videos are interesting too and can be seen here.
Of perhaps more interest is the Daily Serving, the website from which the still was taken, which is a contemporary art website. At the moment the front page has a picture of a massive work by Olafur Eliasson (bit of an Icelandic theme here, or at least Nordic) which constitutes part of his New York City Waterfalls project. He often incorporates water into large installations. I saw some of his work in Dundee, although it wasn't on that scale.

Now that's proper art Billy . Nothing pretentious here - just the beauty, emotion and quality of each work.

Re: Post your favourite work of art here
I've been gorging on culcha like bacteria in a yoghurt pot! Revisited a couple of my favourite cities last week - Florence and Siena. Just uploading the Florence photos to my Flickr site, if anyone fancies a gander. Stuff like this there:
Also revisited the Piccolomini Library in Siena Cathedral, one of my favourite arty places in the world. My photo's were limited by the light, but the link above does them more justice. However, it's the magnitude of the scale that's part of what is so wonderful about these frescos, and that they adorn the walls and ceiling of the entire room.

I like comic artwork - to me the level of detail and humor appeals - to me they are works of art
I've got a limited signed edition of Leo Baxendale's 'The Birthday Cricket' on my wall
I also like Vic's offerings

Very good. Is the light on the side of that last one part of the picture, or glare from a nearby window?

Re: Post your favourite work of art here
I wondered that too (but didn't think to ask). I really like the style but if the 'glare' was painted in I'd like it even more.

Re: Post your favourite work of art here
Very accomplished for a 17 year old, and a huge body of work for someone of that age.
She/you need to make sure that the college she goes to doesn't teach the talent out of her, Fine Art is more about concepts than painting pictures (if you see what I mean).
There are Fine Art courses which are seen to be figuratively based and others that are not, I'm sure your daughter's tutors would be able to advise. With her ability, it might be sensible to look at some form of Graphics course, where she'll be encouraged more to develop her practical skills, rather than her intellectual ones.

Re: Post your favourite work of art here
I like Impressionists. On a visit to Paris a few years ago I looked forward to visiting The Louvre. What a disappointment. There was a small Impressionist section and vast rooms full of old religious type stuff.
Then to cap it my wife was conned by a street "artist" who drew a crappy picture that looked nothing like her. He was laughing all the way to the bar.
I was told afterwards where an Impressionist gallery was.

Re: Post your favourite work of art here
That annoying bank advert that keeps jumping from one image to another made me think of this one by Willem Claesz. The most "real" image I've ever seen. Stunning, I stared at it for ages.
