Thanks. Mutu's workis truly spectacular and incorporates a lot of collage. Regarding much of the abstract 20th century painters, seeing their work in person has a much different effect. One prime example would be Yves Klein, whose blues just cannot be reproduced but are intoxicating in person. Scale cannot be reproduced as well. Merehtu's work is impressive in books but seeing them at the proper scale reveals the incredible use of layering. Art is just really subjective though. Like hyperrealism is technically impressive but often does little for me emotionally _________________ http://jonnyleather.com

Right on, thank you for your insights. I definitely agree that art is primarily subjective. You seem to be very in to abstract art, which for me is very hit and miss, and I've found only rarely great enough for serious 7.3+ consideration fro me -- though my scale is probably stricter than most. I would be much obliged if you were to post some analysis, insights, etc of such works. Can't guarantee I'll agree or find them as interesting/emotional/mind blowing as you do, but I would be very curious to see if you shed light on anything that I am missing that might cause me to re-evaluate my position on various works. _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
I just posted my extended list on the 2nd post of the 1st page, just below the main list. It is very much a rough draft right now, with incorrect ratings abound and so forth, but I will be updating it bit by bit, including many of the links which aren't properly inserted as it was taken directly from a page on Wayback Machine, and not from my original user update page which is not available (due to listology.com crashing). In other words, I will have to re-copy the direct links which requires a lot of time: linking to them from the Wayback Machine copy then copying them onto this page correctly while erasing the incorrect ones, and in some cases finding new links. So I will be doing so in the coming days (weeks?). Over the course of hundreds of entries it may take a while... _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings

mutu's work caught me by surprise too. i'm usually not too into collage, but her work is gorgeous. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

I think you'd especially love the video she made with Santigold. It's like an animated version of her artwork. There's a longer version out there somewhere, but here's a short copy.

Working on these "Extended list" links updates has been pretty frustrating so far. Many of the links appear fine when I copy the complete link from the original page copy on Wayback Machine and test them in my browser, only to find that they don't actually work when I save them here on BEA.
Therefore, if you find any high quality and/or large/up close views of these, please feel free to send them to me. It would be most helpful!
Also, I posted a warning on the "Extended List" (2nd post, 1st page) as follows, which may help a few of you to not get yourselves in trouble, haha
***WARNING: IF YOU SEE ANY LINKS TO "picturevip" IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS NO LONGER A HOST TO PAINTINGS AND IS NOW A PORN SITE. I'LL REPLACE THESE AS SOON AS I CAN WITH ACTUAL PAINTINGS LINKS BUT IN THE MEANTIME JUST A WARNING FOR YOU. DEFINITELY NSWF!*** _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
Been studying/evaluating Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel (Ceiling + Last Judgment) pretty extensively over the last week or so. I do this about 2-3 times a year on average (in a more extensive sense). It reminds me of what art is truly capable of. To say this work is incredible is a major understatement. Even its (minor) supposed "flaws?" are compelling and can be considered from multiple points of view and add to the work because the conviction, creativity and artistry is on such a high plane regardless. Its rewards never seem to end. The emotional/conceptual/creative depths of the work never seem to wane. No positive adjectives are hyperbole in the face of Michelangelo's incredible, monumental achievement -- the highest achievement in all of art? _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
Giorgio Vasari: This work has been and truly is a beacon of our art, and it has brought such benefit and enlightenment to the art of painting that it was sufficient to illuminate a world which for so many hundreds of years had remained in the state of darkness. And, to tell the truth, anyone who is a painter no longer needs to concern himself about seeing innovations and inventions, new ways of painting poses, clothing on figures, and various awe-inspiring details, for Michelangelo gave to this work all the perfection that can be given to such details.
Goethe: Without having seen the Sistine Chapel one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving.
Werner Herzog: Many years ago I went to the Vatican and looked at Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. I was overwhelmed with the feeling that before Michelangelo no one had ever articulated and depicted human pathos as he did in those paintings. Since then all of us have understood ourselves just that little bit deeper, and for this reason I truly feel his achievements are as great as the invention of agriculture. _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
I added an analysis of De Chirico's Il Grande Metafisico that I wrote approximately 4-5 years ago for another site, but forgot to include it here when I transferred this list to BEA. It's a concise, fairly brief analysis (similar to the Altdorfer and Grosz ones), but it should give some useful insight into the work for anyone interested. Scroll down to the "Images and Links" section, to De Chirico's painting near the bottom. _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
