My Favorite Art Pieces

So before taking this class I really did not sit down and say to myself "Hey, what is my favorite painting?". I think I never really had an interest in it. I do love going to museums and appreciate art but I think for me it was just something that was always in the back of my head.

Now thinking about it I could name a few that I love, some of which I just saw in class that totally blew my mind. But before that, last year when Tim Burtons exhibit was at the MOMA I had to go. Im a huge fan of all his work and know I would love his pieces just as much

Here is one of my favorites that capture some of his character sketch's

I just love how dark the characters are but at the same time some of them are so colorful. 

When we where going through the slides a couple of paintings had caught my eye. 

This one for some reason has stayed with me since. There is just something about the lighting and the colors how dark, eerie and colorless the dancers look really caught my attention. It is a painting my Degas and I am now dying to go see it in person 

From the look of all of these I just love darker scenary I guess, something about it just drives me in. Not in the color sense but in the feeling and I get some weird feeling looking at the dancers and the man in the back. It really just stuck with me.

Another painting I absolutely love is by Picasso in his Blue Period called La Vie

Again for me I think the way the picture makes me feel emotionally, sad but intrigued at the same time is what really grabs my attention. Actually I could just go on and post all of his work from the Blue Period because all of it is my favorite. Who knows maybe one day Ill buy one..........


One of my favorite artists before coming to the class was Monet. When I was in California a few years ago we went to a museum that was exhibiting some of the water lilies and I was just so intrigued by them. They made me feel so relaxed and washed out, the feeling  I get when I see them is just one of tranquility. So my last painting that I wanted to share that I love is by him, I dont know what it is about it something in it just takes me to a happier place where I want to sit and read a book and listen to the water.
