man, where is SA?and it's sad an RM didn't make that connection. Silly RMs.
My original statement in this thread still holds true.
I just wanted you to know.
Seebs sucks.
That's way more intelligent.
The Arabs were far ahead of the Europeans in terms of art (among other things) during the Low and High Middle Ages. Of course they could never paint God.
One of my favorite paintings is Baroque.
I have to agree.
Baroque art is so dramatic and pregnant with movement and feeling.
Bernini's work is just breath taking especially the "Ecstacy of St. Teresa."
Though I think my favourite part about baroque art is how it moves away from religioun and becomes more secular which is deffinately more appealing to the contemporary agnostic/thiest/sceptic.
I also love how it all retains the classical style while exploring realisism instead of idealism. None of that Fox Trot A crap.
Vermeer, Rembrandt, Caravaggio(his use of chiarscuro and tenebrism gives me a goal in life)... these artists are really moving. The epitome of culture and class. (though yeah... it's debatable that the concept of class and culture are standards created and maintained by the bogious, impearlistic pigs... but dude.. the oil glazing.. OH THE OIL GLAZING.)
The arbs didn't depict any thing really, did they?
I thought, or atleast I've been mislead to believe, that Arab art and Ottoman art was directed to the decoration and elegance of their garments, temples, wall mosaics, rugs, vases etc... and all remained rather non-objective.
(iconoclasts?)
Boldly go.
