Buckwheat Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I had art history as one of my vonuntary courses in the last high school year, and as a subject for the final high school exam. I loved it. My favourite is gothic art, especially book illustrations and illuminations. Have a Mannesse Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errant Bard Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If there is no thread it is possibly because it is way too big a subject to be contained in a single thread, unless you want to be both simplistic and vague. It's like saying you cannot believe a thread titled "history" has not been created, before mentioning you like antiquity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 There is a book my landlord left in the house called "an Art History of Japan". I keep meaning to look at the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooqueen126 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hellenistic Art and Architecture is a topic I've studied in depth. Ooh, speaking of Greek art, have you heard of the Cretan school of Icon paintings? That seems to have been the fashionable school of icon paintings in the Renaissance.

Eponine Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I've taken many classes but they didn't stick with me too well. I like exercises like doing a theme in the style of so and so. It's fun for anyone, nothing says it has to be any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any art that has to do with the Trojan War (from antiquity through the Medieval period) is of particular interest to me. Besides that Classical Art and Classical Reception is another interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reny of Storms End Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My favorite period would have to be the Impressionists, but I love earlier eras as well. Pretty much from Giotto onwards. Before that the style was to two dimensional for me, with everyone basically being painted in profile.Edited to remove redundancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morticia Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My favourite reinassance artist has to be Botticelli. I love the Birth of Venus and Map of Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much from the Reinassance onwards, or maybe from Giotto onwards. Before that the style was to two dimensional for me, with everyone basically being painted in profile. Ooh. Have you read Giotto and His Publics? It's quite a good book I guess I am quite interested in patronage. and also describing art. I am not all that artistically interested in icons, but trying to describe an icon so that a savvy reader can pick up its provenance... is a good challenge for a writer.

voodooqueen126 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Stanek's The Rise of the Cyber Persona- Performance Art in a Digital Age is a must read for any serious art history student or aspiring troll. I am intrigued, what's it about? Also pretty disappointed to discover that Romanians only started painting their icons on glass in the 19th century or late 18th century at the earliest. The only book on Romanian Icons on Amazon is out of print and in Romanian:( Also @Sologdin: what's cunoroi sculpture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
