Thread by @schaturvedi

The 'Art that Sid likes' thread. Starting off with J.C. Leyendecker.

I missed doing the artist thread and spamming the feed with cool pictures.

Howard Pyle. 'When the World was Young.'

I'm a sucker for great romance paintings. There's a razor-thin line between honest or just theatrical for any subject, but most romance pictures in particular fall on the wrong side into schmalz. So, I love seeing it done well.

Walter Everett. 'The Loneliness of Peter Parrot.'

Harvey Dunn. 'The Flame that Cuts Through Sea and Steel.'

Howard Pyle. 'Extorting Tribute from the Citizens.'

Joaquin Sorolla

N.C. Wyeth. 'The Opium Eater.'

Winslow Homer. 'The West Wind.'

Walter Everett

Thornton Oakley

Solomon J. Solomon. 'St. George'

Harvey Dunn

Frank Frazetta. 'Moon's Rapture'

Another favorite. This was Pyle's last painting, which he left unfinished - he died while on a trip with his family in Italy at 58.

You might have noticed that the same 5-8 names keep popping up in this thread. That will continue. The 80/20 rule very much applies to my favorite artists.

N.C. Wyeth. 'Blind Pew'

Btw, this piece is 1) Enormous, and 2) nowhere near this yellow, especially where the underpainting shows. I haven't seen a good photo of it online, but it's much moodier and bluer.
