No fine art appreciation thread is complete without one of the greatest paintings ever made, Rene Magritte's Time Transfixed:

Like for example John William Waterhouse's The Magic Circle

Speaking of John William Waterhouse, I've had a poster of The Lady of Shalott on my living room wall for probably at least 10 years by now:
https://www.tate.org.uk/art/images/w...1/N01543_9.jpg It's a bit faded, but less than I would have thought, given the amount of sunlight it must have suffered over time. Part of the reason why I like it is the story that it's based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_of_Shalott Another reason is that the landscape is extremely atmospheric to look at (you need to see it full size to really appreciate that). Autumn is my favourite season. Something about the state of mind and and the feeling I get from looking at these half dead leaves and murky waters. I think it also reminds me of some places I used to "fish" for waterbugs near where my grandparents lived when I was a kid. |

A re-imagining of futurist Carlo Carra's Red Horseman by Roy Lichtenstein. With all respect to the original drawing from Carra, Lichtenstein brought so much more life into it with his painting imo. |
I wrote a paper on Lichtenstein back in high school. I don't have it anymore, but I'm sure it was completely devoid of content.
But I really liked his artwork back then and had a book with some of his work. I don't remember what happened to that book? Hmm... |
