Hey Bilvy,

Got inspired by the dadaism post and just wanted to ask - who are your favourite artists? Styles? We know you are not much into dadaism but what are you into? ;)

I myself love impressionism as a whole (and Monet, Renoir and Degas in particular) and I really, really like Toulouse-Lautrec. If Crowley and Aziraphale had gone to Musée d'Orsay in Mon Horible Chéri, I would have probably spontaneously combusted :D

Oh, and I love Art Nouveau in all its forms (art, furnitire, architecture).

RICKY SWALLOW!!!

(this is a wood carving)

oh boy i haven't thought about him in a While but he made my brain vibrate when i found him in high school. still adore everything he touches. i'm a van gogh girlie too, but gd i suddenly can't remember a single other artist i like haha :) i'm pretty bad with names anyway, and it's been a loooong time since i gave any attention to art history or analysis, so forgive me for not having the vocab to answer this very interestingly

i am a sucker for detail so i tend to favour older styles like the renaissance and oh my GOD, the dark depths of baroque art. that broody contrast is to die for. i get along very well with anything close to realism, but i do have a soft spot for some impressionism and surrealism as well (again, detaillllll).

the highly conceptual styles of the 20th century are so interesting and important and thought provoking, but i'm always gonna have a soft spot for the really old classical stuff just for the beauty of it.

As I went to Paris really last minute and totally unannounced (long live flat-hunting and sightseeing), I took the opportunity to visit two museums - the Louvre and Orsay - as they are free with the education pass and for under-26s. The Musée d'Orsay is a museum showing works from the 19th century, so I thought I'd share a few photos of works for HL fandom artists to use as inspirations/references 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry about the quality and framing of the photos, it was very busy in the museums 🥲

And sorry if these works are well known (I know the artists are but I didn't know these works at all)

1. James Tissot, Evening, 1878

2. Franx Xavier Wintheralter, Portrait of Madame Rimsky-Korsakov, 1864

3. Pierre Auguste Renoir, City Dance, 1883

4. Giovanni Boldini, Count Robert de Montesquiou, 1897

5. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Femme de profil, 1896

And from the Louvre museum (All right, it's not 19th century, but anyway):

6. Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano Tori, dit BRONZINO, Portrait of a Young Man Holding a Statuette, 1550?

7. Salon and period furniture in the Louvre

I don't know if this will help anyone, but you never know 😶

THE FRIDAY PIC is a 1905 image by Henri Matisse, drawn when he was at the port of Collioure, in the South of France, and now in the collection of the Musée d'art moderne in nearby Céret.

"Vertigo of Color: Matisse, Derain, and the Origins of Fauvism," at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is all about the two artists' stay in Collioure.

Like every discussion of Fauvism, the Met's (as per its title) dwells on the movement's "pioneering" use of bright and unnatural colors — while mostly ignoring the powerful precedents set by van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec and even, in some ways, Monet.

I think the real radicalism on view in this show comes in its drawings. They are crude to the point of truly evoking the scratchings of "wild beasts." I'm not sure there's any precedent for their deliberate, extravagant ham-fistedness -- which they aren't using as a new style (earlier "bad" drawing could work as that) but as the refusal of anything like consistent, coherent, credible style.

I have a feeling that, in some sense, the wild color used by the Fauves was a kind of camouflage for the much wilder, weirder — uglier — drawing that lurked below it. Color, however bizarre, can always have a certain appeal. "Bad" drawing can feel like an attack on the world.

damn, i drafted yesterday's post and then just forgot to send it. oh well, very fitting for the kind of day it was. i didn't get much of anything done due to being incredibly tired all day. i noticed halfway through studying that apparently i missed a huge chunk of the subject i'm currently working through and have to redo my notes on that part. feeling positive for today though! there's nothing a shower, a coffee and some fruit can't fix.

goals for today: - revise bismarck era politics - finish up last bit of math assignment - study for four 45 min. pomodoros (i love these dark academia ones, they've really helped me focus) - read two chapters of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men tonight

what i've read so far of BIWHM is incredibly compelling. it breaks a lot of the boundaries of the linear novel, always jumping back and forth, and also does very interesting things with footnotes (which reminds me a bit of The Third Policeman, which i read a few months ago). i also like the short story format. it's very fun and engaging to read.

hope you have a nice day and get lots done!

8 and 17 for the askgame? :D

8. How would you describe your artstyle?

kare why would you make me do this. (/lh) I genuinely don’t know? I guess I render with a painterly style, and I fluctuate between using lineart and not. I wouldn’t describe my style as cartoonish but it’s also not realistic, and I’m not sure if there’s a word for something in the middle. I tend to go for warm, vivid colors, which were once described to me as “heavy” which seems accurate. that’s all I got lol hope that works!

17. Your personal favorite works of art (not made by you) are…?

ohh this is a good one! but also very hard! I’m gonna limit myself to 6 and I’m gonna try to get in as many different mediums/kinds of art as possible. I’m also gonna stay away from any hermitcraft/life series fanartists cause there’s too many to choose from i can’t

1. Digital art: off the top of my head this has got to be one of my favorites! i just think it’s absolutely gorgeous. honorable mention is this drawing by bdubs it’s so good

2. Painting: I visited the Musée d’Orsay and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s work on cardboard really amazed me! I don’t remember a specific work I liked the most but I’ll list him as one of my favorite painters. Very interesting guy in general I’d recommended reading his wikipedia article

3. Sculpture (installation): I discovered this work by Walter De Maria while doing research for a class and I love it so much. here’s a post i made about it lol

4. Animation: I mean I know this is an obvious one but Into and Across the Spiderverse are just incredible. they have to be on this list it’s just no contest

5. Writing: My favorite book is so hard to choose but I think I have to go with Slaughterhouse 5. Great book about WWII, death, and time travel. It’s described as a dark comedy and is an incredible novel with some really thought provoking ideas. I’d 100% recommend it, it remains relevant 50 years after it was written

6. Other: Idk what medium this counts as and I talk about it often on twitter but 17776 (what football will look like in the future) is genuinely one of my favorite things ever I think about it all the time. kare I know you’ve read it but if whoever else is reading this hasn’t, PLEASE do it’s a speculative fiction piece about human nature and I love it so much

The Musée d'Orsay is not exclusively sculpture!! These pieces were too numerous for me to attribute, but I do hope the artists feel recognition for their work, regardless! There are some exquisite paintings here- I recommend taking a closer look!

Cour Intérieur (2020) | Nathanaëlle Herbelin

I felt immersed in the humid air capture by these leafy shadows!

Hôpital Saint-Paul à Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (1889) | Vincent Van Gogh

The first Van Gogh of my visit!

La Place Vintimille (ca. 1910) | Édouard Vuillard

I enjoy the way in which the pigment lays on the canvas, especially in the sky. It almost appears as if the clouds are a blanket over the town!

Couchant, bord du rivière (1917) | Pierre Bonnard

A gorgeous sunset, with beauty doubled in reflection!

Le Grand jardin (1894-95) | Pierre Bonnard

This piece made me feel nostalgic for Ireland, even if its semblance to the work I was doing is minimal!

Femme de profil (1896) | Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

I was fascinated by the dissipating detail, as the artist moved further from the subject's face! (June 28)
