You should seent it in person. Was at the High Museum once, not ironically.

I’d love too…..
he painted it while he was in an asylum. It’s not his actual view from there, but maybe what he wanted to see, or what he thought he saw. We see things as we see them, not as they actually are…..kinda deep, but love it

I prefer Monet…

Water Lilies is the GOAT

BS….Bob Ross

 

[hooperj75]

Magritte was the GOAT painter. He elevated the game from some shiny objects to painting an entire philosophical discourse in a single painting. Come at me bro

Monet did over 250 paintings in the Water Lillies series……a little obsessed but still the GOAT

None of them hold a candle to Bob Ross

oh look , somebody with hurt feelings. You dont like someone with a different opinion?

I think it was much more the way you expressed said opinion.

Perception is an illusion filtered through the prism of our minds.

Other than many consider him the greatest CB ever?

That means he could play CB at a high level. That doesn't mean that he can necessarily coach CB at a high level. Most great players aren't great coaches. Also, what is the excuse for the other 21 primary positions on the field plus the special teams players? He didn't play those positions other than occasionally returning punts.

 

[drvenner]

Well to your point - it doesn’t settle anything. But is a comparison all the same.

Now I want to look for the comparison 50 years after Koufax.

I do love the different ways to view and crunch all these baseball stats. Fascinating, for sure.

See my post above your post.

There are! I like Monet because he paints what I see and would paint if only I could.

The hero.

The hero.

I always wished I could what he did. He made it look so easy.

We did the Biltmore exhibit for Van Gogh, the whole immersive experience one. Man what a sad story for him. He overcame a lot. But even many famous people, their lives I do not get jelly over.

I always wished I could what he did. He made it look so easy.

I saw a video the other week that showed all his paintings over the years and claimed he had built an entire contiguous world through his paintings. For instance, one painting connected to another and that to another, etc.

To where if you could see each, in just the right order, it would be like a flipbook flying through all these environments continuously. Some real Stephen King meta stuff.

I hate to change the subject now that it’s gotten into something wonderful, but wanted to throw this in to thank all of you that prayed for my son. He’s been in rehab 7 months. Indescribable the difference in him. Totally a new creation in Christ. Today he took the exam to be a certified electrician and inspector. He passed! He also played guitar at church tonight. It was an original song he wrote with the guy who sang!

Impressionism.

Best art period.

Wow! Didn’t know that!

You can’t really compare artists across eras, though.

Just imagine if Matisse had painted during the live-brush era…

Perception is an illusion filtered through the prism of our minds.

All the more reason I dislike the "perception is reality" quotes. No...it is your perception. Reality is objective. Not the same.

It's why I like van Gogh. I've seen the world through his eyes.

But I still have both ears.

VN went from heathen boxing to intellectual artistic interpretations. I love this place.
