I recently found out about this artist from the 19th century, Ivan Aivazovsky. What do you think?

There's an amazing amount of depth, detail, and the compositions are brilliant. Somehow he painted 6,000 works... --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wow, good post. Those are great, I've certainly never heard of him before. Yeah, I recently got this book on Russian painters which covers the 18th and 19th centuries. Practically all 200+ pages are filled with high quality images of full color paintings. He's one of the best at seascapes that I've ever seen. The closest that I've seen today was one of my teachers, Edward Minoff: https://s22.postimg.cc/8wwtsnppb/Minoff_Ocean_Fall_16x24_copy_1399833016.jpg --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's not a painting though, rather, a digital drawing.

DevsBro posted...https://artsbma.org/content/uploads/2018/04/2002.138_01_p_w.jpg It's not really meant to appeal in the same way, so it's understandable that it might not strike you the same way as it does me. It's not really shooting for visual appeal, but instead what it looks like is some kind of signal. It invites my brain to try to calculate something about it, and I think the intrigue is actually trying to figure out exactly what. I think this is vaguely the appeal of abstract art in general, but the blobs and splatters that you see in lots of abstract are just make my brain go "colors, whoopty-doo" in a similar way to the way some people probably look at GR and go "wow angles who cares" lol. --- ...

PanzerElite posted...DevsBro posted...https://artsbma.org/content/uploads/2018/04/2002.138_01_p_w.jpg I can definitely appreciate it. While I admire works like the ones in my OP, any form of art can potentially be captivating on a visual or intellectual or emotion level. There's just a lot of contemporary or modernist or postmodernist works where the message isn't apparent and there isn't much of visual interest. Like I was looking at an art catalogue the other day at work and an artist literally made a sculpture of a trash bag with trash in it. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
