Not really art as such, is it?
That artrepublic link is sweet, Kevevs!
¡Muchos graçias!
saw this weird film last night called The Human Caterpillar that really reminded me of Heironymous Bosch.
The Werenskoild Painting looks very Pre-Raphaelite (millais)

All absolutely fabulous...

Always been one of my favourites, the skull at the bottom is frankly showing off.

Torm; that's in a little gallery in my home village, that painting. 😀
How about a portrait of a child murderer, but made with the handprints of children? 😯

As is The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, another one that stopped me in my tracks. Love the Bosch btw.
Saw that when it was vandalised at the Saatchi exhib near the london eye......along with Hanson and Muek's amazing sculptures (and the wonderful Hirst "the physical impossibility etc etc ")

elf- that's such an attention seeking post, nothing to do with the op, not helpful at all, just attracting attention to yourself! Thought you were a hater of Sensation, young british artists, etc! This is about nice background interior decoration prints 😉

Then you have little clue as to what I'm actually into...
Nice background interior pics?

Ha! You weren't expecting that, were you??
If it's Goya you want, Elfin...

Right, going to work, I want to see pictures, ok? landscapes, portraits, interesting, exciting. Less children being eaten!

Saw this in Australia, found it very beautiful. Khue Nguyen is the artist.
How about a bit of Bridget Riley. Quite hypnotic when you have a large print on the wall

or some classic 1930's French graphic Design. AM Cassandre for example. Utterly beautiful and very very stylish

Emsz - I've got a lot of original artwork up in the house rather than prints. It doesn't necessarily have to be expensive.
Find out the nearest University that runs decent courses in Fine Art, Photography and Illustration then go to their end of year shows.You'll get an amazing variety of styles on display. Some preposterous and silly, some absolutely wonderful. If you see something you like then make them an offer. I've picked up a few things like this.
Do you want art? Or interior decoration?
Shameless self promotion - soon to appear on an Edinburgh Taxicab.

You could try your local Barnardos or Help The Aged, etc. My dad's house is decorated almost exclusively in artwork and prints from Barnardos house clearances, and there are some real gems. I particularly like his lithograph of The Golden Fleece. He's got original silhouettes of unnamed 19th century dignitaries, huge Matisse prints, an amazing native American painted scarf thing, very detailed portrait studies in pencil, and a VERY detailed homage to The Arnolfini Marriage. I think the most expensive was the scarf thing, at about £15.
Ahem...I've got a solo show starting 28th April if anyone is near Southern Spain 😀

I see what what you mean about being photographic! I thought it was at first. Like Suerat?
Suerat didn't paint photo-realistically - he was an impressionist.
[img]
[/img]
I have always liked (amongst lots of the already posted)
[img]

Although I am sure you really would need to have an original to truly appreciate it.
I was in Amsterdam Art Gallery (or was it the Louvre, I forget now) and really liked some of the miniatures - but that was more for the technical execution than artistic merit.
Binners -I like your style 🙂
Damo - who did the first one you posted? I really like that.
Binners - did you know you can get that 'Cycle Brillant' on a jersey? retroimageapparel.com
Suerat didn't paint photo-realistically - he was an impressionist
Sorry to be pedantic - but I think he was a Post Impressionist
Damo - who did the first one you posted? I really like that.
Peter Doig. His work is amazing. Set a few records for sale prices for living artist - so get saving!

I do stand corrected. I like your pedantry.
He impersonated postmen?
Obvious I know, but

Just noticed, Peter Doig. Never heard of him, but that is one smart painting (assuming it's paint).
damo2576 - who's that pic by, please - the block of flats through trees? It's mint.
Peter Doig. That one is from a series of paintings of Corbusier houses. Yes, its paint.
Another from same series
