Kalo Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) Philip Guston ← Guston was the artist I thought of first whn I saw the thread title. I am unspeakably ill-informed regarding most visual art... hence I will offer my bumbling opinion that the illustrative art of graphic novelists Daniel Clowes and Chris Ware speaks to my American times. ← I'm a big fan of both of these guys. But doesn't the best art speak to all times? (I'm not positing this as an amazing revelation or anything). I mean, come on, Bach, Ellington, Vermeer, Picasso, as different as they are, all captured something essential about the human experience in ALL times, as well as for their own Edited July 2, 2005 by Kalo Quote
paul secor Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 Mark ROTHKO! The more I look at his paintings, the more I am impressed by all there is into his art. There was a retrospective of Rothko's work at the Paris Museum of Modern Art several years ago. I had seen some of his paintings before but this was really like 'hearing' Charlie Parker for the first time. ← Had a similar experience at a gallery showing a number of Rothkos about twenty years ago. Sitting and looking at them for a period of time left me feeling as if I had entered his paintings and had lost myself inside them. Quote
paul secor Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 Philip Guston ← Yes! He nailed Nixon in his Poor Richard series, and it's not a stretch from Tricky Dick and his cronies to W and his. Quote
paul secor Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) Jean-Jacques Sempe - an artist who captures sides of our lives and times that many other artists miss. I love many artists' work, but his may just be my favorite. Edited July 2, 2005 by paul secor Quote
