Art
"The scream" was stolen a couple of years ago. I was totally unaware of it as it appears to have passed me by, as news sometimes does. It has since been returned, two years to the day after it was stolen in an audacious armed robbery. I have an affection for the painting as I've seen it and it is a memorable image. What was remarkable is the extent to which tourists in Norway's national Gallery ignored the magnificent Romantic landscapes and stunning portraits in the rest of the Gallery (most egregiously an enormous party of Japanese camera fetishists) to make a beeline for the Munch section.
Why go to the gallery to see the only image in there which you've already seen?
I must admit I know little about art, and I usually end up liking utterly convertional paintings that everyone else likes - usually ones with an intersting story to make them memborable, but I do enjoy the peace of a gallery and used to spend hours in the Tate Britain, when I lived just across the river. Here's some more pictures I like:
Caravaggio's David. I like that the decapitated head is a self-portrait. The artist was a violent, brawling piss-head with whom I feel some affection.
The Fighting Temeraire: The second ship in the line at Trafalgar being tugged to be broken up. The Nations favourite painting. The painting tells simply of the passing of a perhaps more heroic age.
The Death of Major Pierson by John Singleton Copley, simply because my friend Chris says " A house is not a home until you have pictures of a bird with her knockers out and us killing the French"
Dali's Slave Market with the disapearing bust of Voltaire: I just think it's a really clever painting. A print adorned the wall in my bedroom for many years after I saw it in Florida. The Girl on the left it Dali's lover. The Bust of Voltaire is easier to pick out when the painting's this size - on the canvas, its more subtle.
6 immoderate opinions:
And you've not been to the Dali museum in Paris? You'd probably like all of his clever paintings.
I saw the very same original Dali in Florida! I was amazed by what one picked up in the original that was lost in the print. Wonderful man! Even better to hear his story and do the tour. (He was sort of French though)
I'm a big fan of the Pre-Raphs (obviously). Out of all the paintings (including the Pre-Raphs) in Tate Britain I took an unusual liking to Turner's 'Buttermere Lake' - it's captivating - a bit of a contradiction; a painting of doom, gloom, but also mystery, excitement and overwhelming beauty (for me!) or perhaps it just reminds me of hill walking in the mist at home!
There are good fighting scenes in the National Portrait gallery (if that's the smaller gallery opposite St. Martin-in-the-Fields (the best baroque music in London)). I'm sure you would also like the pictures there of Ladies with their 'knockers' out! In those days???? SHOCKING! ;)
The fact that Tate Modern is getting £165 MILLION(!!!) for new development makes my blood boil! Someone's head should roll for that. One of the exhibitions is nothing better than what looks to me like dinosaur poo. There is a really cool space age room though although I think they've changed it recently. Must do more galleries soon!
Adore DALI. Have more time for the IMPRESSIONISTS mind.
Been spending my time out here painting too actually.
In corsica now
Mine arent as good as the tate but i hope youll like them.

I love visiting the art museums wherever I am, whenever I have the chance. I especially like the National Gallery in Washington DC and now that my son will be going to school in NYC I will visit the galleries there.
"The Scream" I have seen and I am also taken in by the expression and brilliant colors. I can understand why people are lured to take a look, although a look just doesn't work. The painting absorbs those around it.
The story behind Caravaggio's David is also good. Having been on the run for years having killed a man and been sentenced to death. He is finally allowed to return and paints this painting. They wanted his severed head, so he is giving them it in pictorial form and hoping that they will be happy with that.
I favourite of the surrealists is Max Ernst, a big fan of painting ladies with their knockers out. A bit too much so, as on arriving in America on the run from the Nazis he had a lot of his work confiscated by customs because of this.
