I know nothing about art, but I know what I like. It’s a cliché, but in my case it is true. I know next to nothing about art. I can tell the difference between abstract, portrait, still life and landscape, but I cannot look at a piece and identify the artist or the period or anything else about the work. To my knowledge there is no particular type of art that I dislike. Similarly, there is no particular type that I prefer over others, though I do tend to like portraits over other subjects. Rather, I tend to judge each individual piece. Most of the time, I don’t even know why I like or dislike a piece, I just do. Anyway, here are some of my favourite pieces:
Untitled oil painting (1984) by Zdzislaw Beksinski
Domenico Feti – Melancholy (Version 2)
The Scream by Edvard Munch
Nouveau Totem, abstract art by Marten Jansen
salvador dali-melting clocks
Untitled by Wayne Krause
Wild Flowers – Celia Perceval
Sidney Nolan: Mask and Memory
The Pioneers – Fredrick McCubbin
mary cassatt – mother and child
What are your favourite pieces of art? Do you have a favourite style? Is there any art that you absolutely hate?
