Dutch flower still lifes are the best still lifes and no one can prove that fact wrong.

I went to the Van Gogh museum and I am a noob with art. But the way it was organised how he explained each painting and what he was trying to do along his development with paint. Not sure if its true but I felt he was not a genius with painting since young age and he developed with analysis and hard work. Kinda gave me some weird awakening while interpreting art.

I realise many painters worked around science stuff like psychology, colour theory and other stuff. Kinda made me very interested in art all of the sudden and I start noticing and feeling things I've never experienced along the many types of artwork and through art eras.

Pic related kinda sums up the sort of scientific part of his paintings.

iirc VG wasn't that into scientific methods altho he did pick up a bunch of concepts from other impressionists of the era. you are indeed correct that he was pretty shit from the start and laboured hardcore at improving his craft. his reverence for peasants and wageslaves was a heavy influence for his work ethic.

Vincent was lucky in that he was financially supported by his brother who was a succesful art dealer. Basically he could neet all he wanted and since there was no vidya at the time, he painted.

>>3100142
The fact he was a weeboo as well.

yes, very lucky. and at the same time very agonizing from the lack of success and companionship.

VG would hate video games and what they represent.

I love van Gogh, but he is modern/post-1900

>>3100154
I like that picture very much. The the artist has arranged the fruits and ornamental silver and goldware to contrast with the dull ceramics and even duller background truly is a work of genius the Dutch only had.

ITT: people with no deeper understanding of art history beyond a short intro at best
At least include things that aren't paintings.

Definitely /ourguy/.
Been to the van Gogh museum too some time ago, was really interesting though I'm not a big fan of his work, there's some interesting stuff to be seen.

I'm still more of a sucker for realism.

expressionism. besides kathe kollwitz, egon schiele is one of my favorites.

>>3101200
you made 0 sense.

>>3101314
Fine, in my eyes an engraving is art, but it's overshadowed by paintings, sculptures and actual architecture. Engraving is probably the most difficult of all those processes (with sculpting coming a close second) and hence why so few artists chose to even work in that medium

>>3101396
he probably likes anime bois with neon cum on them.

Am the anon who asked for things that aren't paintings. I like Dürer, I live around the area where he came from so I got to study his art a lot and he is a big source of inspiration for new and aspiring artists here so I appreciate you posting him.

Thank you for this name pal, I've been reminding myself how great the expressionists are after years of forgetting about them.
Currently my old tobias pulsates for Kirchners woodcuts, the mans a legend.

I've always liked classical artwork of food, namely this one by Jan Davidszoon de Heem.

>>3101409

Dürer poster here. I too adore him. One of my favourite artists. I think he is great for study, since you can trace every line.

Also he seemed to stand out as a personality in his time. He was one of the first artists to be obsessed with his own image.

>>3101437

Kollwitz is also great. There's a dedicated museum in my city and I've been there a few times.

Did all renaissance and baroque painters use live models for reference, or were they capable of doing this shit from imagination?

>>3101529
>live models
Well they used a lot of corpses

>>3101450
Before realising they were oysters, I thought he painted a pair of raw chicken breasts on plates

>>3101529
Most of the early rennaisance painters had access to mourges due to their status and some of the higher up ones did anatomy sketches of the dissected corpses which really did help the scientific community with human anatomy

>>3101541
seriously? is this like when grave diggers would dig up fresh bodies and sell them to doctors for research n shit, but instead this is for artists who wanna pose the corpse in a some bizarre way? thats brutal af.
