If you think the thread is pointless, don’t post on it. Rubbish! How can you say you like something, but then not be able to say why?" I’m fully able to say why. The thread didn’t ask me to though. It’s also allowing others to hear about other paintings without actually having any prescribed reason as to why the person suggested it was meaningful to them - that’s not pointless, it’s just different to how you want the thread to run. Start your own thread, and stop being daft. | |||

"Perhaps no one else but me collects fine art. I know exactly where and why I bought the paintings that I have and I know what attracted me to them." I remember Van Gogh's Wheatfield because I'd just come from getting my phone upgraded with O2. The friend I was with was telling me about their mortgage repayments and which tiles they'd chosen to decorate their walls with. I remember thinking I needed to squeeze a fart out quietly and the Wheatfield painting was in the perfect place to do it. Afterwards I bought the postcard and stuck it on my fridge just beside my Tesco shopping list because it reminded me to buy more bog roll. So you see! He's right. Knowing why I recall a painting really does add to the work  | |||

"'Proserpine' by Rossetti And anything by Aubrey Beardsley ( which arent technically paintings, I know)" As a young teen I got very soundly told off when I brought home a book of Aubrey Beardsley illustrations from the library. If I didn't realise quite how rude they were beforehand I certainly did after my parents had finished berating me. Didn't stop me appreciating his talent however, nor the magic and eroticism they conveyed and I used to try (unsuccessfully) to draw in a similar style (without the huge phalluses!). In a similar-ish vein I also love the fantastical works of Richard Dadd ... in fact, I'm particularly drawn to anything highly detailed and could quite happily spend an hour (and have done) absorbing a single work. I absolutely adore the complex maps and tapestries of Grayson Perry for that reason because there is so much to enjoy - the overall effect, as well as the individual compnents which make up the whole .. how they relate to each other, and to the world, jokes, cultural references etc. His stuff isn't simply a visual treat but also stimulates your mind. Love it. So far as more traditional and classic art is concerned, they've already been mentioned but Van Gogh's Starry Night and Klimt's The Kiss are my favourites. Millais' Ophelia too | |||

"Love it " I was feeling a bit mischievous yesterday For me the art I love resonates with me in a direct way beyond language. Like great poetry, it calls us to a world between words, reminding us that our mundane lives may be utterly distracted by meaningless nonsense. That is why even a painting of haystacks can actually be deeply subversive.
As you were probably aware Van Gogh's Wheatfield painting was one of, if not the last painting he did before he shot himself. That's the world artists live in. Art collectors? Well they're only really ever one small step away from wanting the painting because it matches their curtains, because it'll finish the set, or because they think they'll be able to sell it for more at a later date. And then they have the pomp to imagine it's the artists who are heathens... sorry rant over haha | |||

"The Fighting Temerare by Turner & Whistlejack by George Stubbs to name just two in the National Gallery. " Whistlejacket is probably my favourite ever equestrian painting. I tend to prefer more obscure watercolour work, but I guess of the famous painters I would like Monet best, because of his palette, I find it very restful. I'd be happy to live under one of his giant waterlilly paintings. | |||
