A few small snips was what the murderer said in his defence to the court during his trial I believe.x she painted it after her man had a affair with her younger sister??? I think. Been more than a few years since art school.

It was the beginning of her macarb period..
The Tate are trying to get one of her peices but as she lived a short while she has very few available. After her death Diago Rivera convinced his billionaire mistress to buy all of fridas art which is displayed in her home... A few peices escaped but not many..
Madonna has one in the UK..

What a shame they are not more widely available. Maybe with time, hopefully. I had heard and read about her, but never really indulged in her work. A mistake I will rectify immediately! Thanks for the heads up. Learn something new everyday ect...

Lady called Ponckle.. lived in St Ives, Cornwall, beautiful but nutty lady.. did some commissions for me.
Dunno... too many to choose from. But I certainly like 'complicated' or 'busy' pictures & artists.
Toss up between Albrecht Dürer and Shepard Fairey.

It is bonkers.. But based on the landscape of catalonia where he grew up..and his confusion about society and his own turmoilsI know absolutely feck all about art. It doesn't really interest me much to be honest.

Other than the Lobsterphone, my fav Dali piece is this room in the Theatro Dali in Figueres in Spain... As you can see, the furniture in the room (including the signature lips couch) align once you climb a ladder and look through a magnifying glass perched atop an elephant. Very funny.
I stumbled upon a Swiss/Italian/French artist called Felice Varini recently.
He specialises in "anamophic illusions", which means he takes a public space, or room, and using lasers, projects geometric shapes which are then coloured to produce an image that can only be seen from one specific viewpoint.
The technical complications are... very complicated... but the effects are stunning.

When I studied fine art, a long time ago, my lecturer always dismissed Dali as 'just a good draughtsman'. Which I always thought was a tad harsh. His work does seem to emulate the feverish, arid heat of the Spanish/Catalonian landscape. I love that quote of his too. Maybe, someone like Stanley Kubrick should have listened. Perfection is a futile mirage. David Lynch thrives on mistakes and stream of conciousness imagery and sound design. I like the non-perfect, rough edges of an artist's realisation of their vision x
Of the art I've seen, I think the standout pieces were:
* Picasso's Guernica (stunning on so many levels)
* The Sistine Chapel (arguably THE masterwork of Western art)
* Jake & Dinos Chapman's Hell (destroyed in that art warehouse fire but remade)
In case you're unfamiliar with the last one, it's a series of 9 large glass cases each containing vignettes/models in which 30,000 tiny figures were placed in swastika formation to remind us of the Holocaust but are literally of Hell. It's a mind boggling, disturbing, horrific piece. I highly recommend it.

Hell is first great work of the 21st century

You see I did say I know feck all about art. You clearly know much more than me.
I was trying to find the Salvador Dali surreal steps picture.

However, I wouldn't want any of those in my house. None are particularly beautiful to me, it's more about the technical aspect, the skill, the vision and what they represent.
For something to hang on my wall, I'd prefer a Shepherd Fairy...
Nah, not really. My missus likes Dali, so we went to the museum in Figueres. Turned out to be quite interesting

Wow that's really good. Love stuff like that.
It's like my Batman game where you have to line up the Riddler question marks.
I am so in depth and learned on art

Lol, I'm talking rubbish - this is my fav painting - Tiger in a Tropical Storm - Surprise! By Henri Rousseau.
I always pop into the National and spend a few mins looking at that when I'm in London. Always.
