There is a strange kind of schizo looking painting that I want to find the name of. It has a black background with objects all over kind of hanging out in space. Most of the objects are porcelain in color, I remember an animal skull in the middle with small people running around on it and through it. It was a bit macabre and gory and disturbing. I'm writing about an essay about the definition of artistic genius and I would like to use this as an example of the subconscious trying to represent itself and using art as a medium.

I know what you are talking about, but do not know the artist.

George Braque I do know.....

Sorry, Cassie....maybe someone will help you in the a.m. when more people are on.

 

[Shandog]

possibly mc escher?

 

[Cassie]

close but not what I'm looking for. That artist had the same 'hanging in space' quality to some of his work but the piece I'm looking for is a bit more grotesque

 

[Just Casting]

A... DALI ... perhaps??

 

[Cassie]

Storm also PMed me with that suggestion. I am still searching through galleries to find the peice I'm looking for...

 

[firecracker]

Ok, not Escher

Edward Munch "the scream" ??

Salvador Dali ??

 

[Cassie]

I'm still looking through Dali without much luck, I did use the scream as an example for another point I was trying to make though...

[giddy girl]

Why not??? Lol it's actually really interesting. We don't study artists and time periods thats boring. We ask questions such as "What is a work of art?" And "What is the driving force behind it's creation"

I loooove philosophy class!

P.S. Thank you Giddy Girl!!!

 

[ThreeCrabs]

Cassie, did you find the artist???? I've been wondering myself.

 

[Cassie]

Nope not yet, I'll post it when I do.

I think it's Salvador Dali because his art look similar to the peice I'm looking for but I haven't been able to find it.

 

[Cassie]

Eeek! I need to turn this paper in tomorrow and I still haven't found it

Thanks for the help though
