Just as any great scientist, actor or business mogel is psychotic or nuerotic!! Craziness helps inspire!!<br /><br />I love bits and pieces in all types of art ... Renissance and Michaelangelo to Monet and Impressionism. I'd prefer Realism over pop culture art... but that depends on my mood. I don't always like to search for a 'hidden' meaning behind the art and at times would like to say he just wanted to draw a peice of fruit... so be it!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757274528052909098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-13478630010062914932009-09-01T13:23:30.151-05:002009-09-01T13:23:30.151-05:00I also do not know much about art.

It's similar to what Heather was talking about, but I love the little images...one of my favorite ones is the small images that make up the American flag. I love that painting/drawing.<br /><br />Thanks for my Art History lesson, Cheryl. That's one class I never took in college, so you're my favorite professor!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222466425842041635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-8429111204316589982009-09-01T12:43:45.309-05:002009-09-01T12:43:45.309-05:00Ooh!

It seems that some great artists seem to have some demons or a great love that drive them to their greatness. <br />Did you know that Bravo is going to have a series on finding the next great American artist? It's similar to project runway, but with art. Should be interesting. <br />FYI - I'm not sure if this is being offered in your area, but in Chicago-land - from now until August 2010 you can check out a museum pass and get free admission to many local museums. Maybe there is a similar program in your area.Cristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970846308046408969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-31163343100887791862009-09-01T09:44:39.574-05:002009-09-01T09:44:39.574-05:00I would choose Susan Sedon Boulet.. she inspires m...I would choose Susan Sedon Boulet.. she inspires me to see things beyond just what is "there", on the canvas or in life. She drew her inspiration from a wide variety of sources: mythology and poetry, Jungian psychology and worldwide spiritual traditions, as well as a deep love of animal and the natural world.Chaotic Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234401308763228709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-1271989633186762072009-09-01T09:38:45.371-05:002009-09-01T09:38:45.371-05:00Heather, I think the most recognizable artist that...Heather, I think the most recognizable artist that practiced Pointillism is Georges-Pierre Seurat and his painting called "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" is used most often in Art History classes to demonstrate this movement.<br /><br />Cristine- did you ever see the movie about Jackson Pollock's life starring Ed Harris? Love Ed Harris. He was another artist that was troubled. He battled alcholism and died in a car crash when he was driving under the influence.Cheryl Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714034822340589132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-71631904941642984292009-09-01T09:21:09.565-05:002009-09-01T09:21:09.565-05:00I'm not great with knowing Artists but I love ...I'm not great with knowing Artists but I love the pointellism thing where all the little dots come together to form the big picture.
