Prefer this myself!!!
Have you seen it in a museum? It's soooooo amazing and painfull, it's great
never seen the original, would love to though, its about 30 ft wide I believe?
Errr, I don't know how much is 30 ft but yes, it's huge.
It's about Guernica, a Basque town that was bombed by Nazis during the spanish civil war and loads and loads of people died there.
The painting is at El Prado Museum, and next to it there's another painting by Picasso showing the horse head, is really strong.
Picasso did lots of "portraits" or single paintings of the people appearing on the big one (does it make any sense?
)

Escher is thousand miles forward....
Goya is great. 8)
Kandinsky and the colour? well, I suppose it's about opinions, but his paintings had all the colours while miró used to use only primary colours. I doubt you can compare.
Monet is nice, but for my taste his paintings aren't strong enough.
I love Rothko, the dark red series are fantastic

I'm going to guess you did, since it's in a folder called "pipkers" on photobucket
I was going to guess a blind man, thank god I didn't

Well, if we're going to get real specific and talk 16th century Spanish painters, then El Greco is your man. He was gothic before gothic was cool... great use of dark colors and contrast, and totally unique perspective. Another great collection at the Prado that had me tearing up.
Velazquez is cool, of course.... I could be wrong but I think he took a lot of his cues from El Greco. Just saw that exhibit of his in London not long ago.
El Greco worked in Spain but he was born in Creta
I like his work lots, it's very particular, you can recognise his paintings allways and you can say he painted most of his paintings after a laughing cigarrete He had a vision problem that caused the distortion in the figures and all that.
Ferd, have you been to the Velazqued exhibition yet?
