"Guess the artist!"

[USER777]

I saw this on the eatpoo forums and thought it was fun.

So,here's the deal:
I'll start with posting a piece of art from someone most people on this forum should recognize.
It's your job to figure out who created the piece and then post a new one.
Easy and (hopefully) fun! :bashful:

So here's the first one:

it was bernie fuchs by the way

[-MonkeyBoy-]

I'd just like to say this is a great thread and I was quite pleased with myself for how many I could get (not that many but still, I was pleased). And doesnt Giorgio de Chrico's Mystery and Melancholy of a Street remind you of the European ICO cover (I know it was the other way around, maybe the referenced this painting)?

It absolutely did! As a matter of fact the whole game made me think about the paintings by de chirICO.

[tinyhands]

nicolas- he doesn't have a site. You could search him online and find some decent images.

mainloop- Yeah man he is an obscure one. I've heard that theres a book on him, but i'll bet its bank roll.

and I agree with main loop, thats gotta be burt silverman.

-tiny

[daarken]

yup, silverman.

here is a new one (oh yeah, are we supposed to be trying to actually stump people, or just post cool paintings that we like?)

it is parrish.

[Main Loop]

i wanna say schoonover but i could be wrong.. i dont think its harvey dunn, altough i kinda think so.. then again i can be totally off.. i know ive seen that somewhere..

if the name of the game is to stump people, i got some that can really f** yall up heheh

stepping it up:

http://remtek.net/0/mainloop/default/images/11/119.jpg

hint: very famous illustrator.. too many awards won

[tinyhands]

It does kina look like a schoonover, not sure. To take a second guess I'm gonna say remington. Those horses are badass.

I can't see it, I was asked for a password :^^;:

[nicolas]

nvermind, there it is.

[Main Loop]

yeah i keep forgetting to take that out heh

[PHiLMePHLo]

sorry, dunno if i'm butting in...but wanted to take a stab...

post #65: mark english?

[Main Loop]

yep.. doesnt look like a mark english at all though huh?

[PHiLMePHLo]

yeah, i was kinda hesitant to guess him....but the subtly desaturated colors next to the saturated ones had me leaning that way...

plus the "mathematical" aspects of the standard-sized hats pushed me over. they reminded me of the grids he usually has in his paintings...usually a Mark English-giveaway...

put some more on please! i always like adding to my library of artists...and i'll see if i can dig up some of my own...

btw loop: do you have a larger version of the Bonanza painting? just curious to see the colors he used (and how he used them) in the facial features...

[Lauren Short]

well i hope i'm not interupting or butting in since it isn't my turn but i figured i'd post another illustration

All these images are so familiar from school but a bunch of them stumped me. Know the image but not the artist.



Sorry for going out of turn:

This one is a good one. He's not too famous. And his gimic is that he copies famous paintings. But he throws his own style on them and kinda modernizes his figures. He's hot shit in the figure painting world right now. all orinals have been sold out.

not so obscure but I suppose it helped having a graphic design teacher who was mad on his stuff.

Young paddy1- Frank brangwyn, don't know his nationality tho.


He was born in Belgium but raised in London.

[young paddy1]

Blind: isn't there another one where they've just got the head?

Redder: yeah that's the guy his dad was welsh and his mum english, had a show of his stuff in swansea.

Blind: isn't there another one where they've just got the head?Hmmm... not sure. I think I've seen some detailed close ups of certain parts of the painting. But as far as I know that version above is the full canvas.

daaaamn. three quarter of this stuff i dont have a clue about. i know nothing. i might as well disappear.
