I recently had the privilege of having an art related blog recommended to me. I love art, especially painting and architecture, and the Art Blog By Bob is an exciting gateway into the art world. He provides background, insight, relays critiques, and just generally brings more awareness to a world that is often remembered as an afterthought. He highlights sculpture, American and contemporary art, and he also provides references to classic and more referenced art.
If you like art, you'll both fully enjoy and appreciate this website. I know I do! I especially like the portrait from fruit by Giuseppi Arcimboldo and the piece Bob previewed on Hong Kong, Art, and Deterritorialization. Generally my preferences are towards abstract and visually stimulating pieces, like Dali, and impressionistic art, like Monet and Renoir. I'm also starting to really enjoy more contemporary works, like the ones featured at the MOMA - Museum Of Modern Art, in NYC. I also visited this really cute art store, the name of which has sadly escaped me, but I loved it because it featured new artists, and I found one particularly exciting. It was pop art meets portrait, but her portraits were often the negatives and painted with cake decorating tools! So fun! And there was a photographer who tore his pieces into strips, encased them in fiberglass, and then warped the strips to make 3-D pieces. Love it!
Ok, off my art-box for now. Explore the website, and feel free to share any artist you enjoy! I know I certainly always love expanding my knowledge base.
