Ideal art!!!!?

if I were to sell art,





or





if you were to buy some art





what is your favourite art, what would you buy


what image would you like to see?





what art has any1 brought recently? what was it off





who is your favourite artist?





I know few questions but would be grateful for answers, thankyou

Ideal art!!!!?
In terms of purchasing art for myself, I have bought reproductions of Van Gogh (Starry Nights), Monet (Water Lilies and Wild Poppies), and Norman Rockwell (various), among others.





Most recently, I bought a student reproduction of a Van Gogh called "The Night Cafe" and had it nicely framed as a housewarming gift for someone who has a pool table in their home.





Several of my friends are theme collectors so I often buy them art or craft gifts that fit their themes....among them are lighthouses, cows, pigs, cats, flora, etc..





If you are planning to sell at art shows or craft fairs, I would advise that you produce at least a few works that fit the theme of the fair itself or that are related to some of the events that will take place...such as still-lifes of antique bicycles for a bike race, farm scenes for an agricultural event, historical buildings from the area where the show will be held, etc... Also, bring along a collection of your personal favorites (because an artist's emotions are reflected in his/her work and you are likely to find customers for ANY theme at ANY time if they relate to your art.)





I won't pick a favorite artist because I like to remain open. Right now, if I could afford it, I would LOVE to own an original work by Bev Doolittle!





Best of Luck and Bless You!!
Reply:I personally like symbolic art, where the message is more important than the realism. I like to stop and think what the artist is trying to say. I also like graphic arts, painting styles that are colorful, bold, and graphic.

Have you learned about Design Types?...it is the study of people and there interests. It be helpful when you are selling artwork. You can often tell what art a person is interested in just by what they wear.





If a person wears toned down clothing, nutral browns %26amp; greens, they can be considered "Naturalist Type." They would most likely be interested in artworks of nature and animals.


...if you have paintings in your gallery that are of nature, you can guide them to an area where you have some nature paintings displayed.





If a person wears black clothing with a small hint of color, they can be considered "Artistic Type." They would most likely be interested in artworks of all one color, very plan, but with a small accent of color that stands out.





If a person is wearing jeans and t-shirt, most men, they are "Designer Type." They usually like artworks with mixed shapes, organic lines with sharp edges and points.





If a person wears toned kakies and white shirt with lots of horizontal lines, they are considered "Classical Type." Most likely they would like classical paintings, Baroque, Leonardo, ect. Paintings that are highly decorated and horizontal lines.





Hope the best, Goodluck.
Reply:Art is a very subjective topic. There is no such thing as ideal art. I like most types of art when they are done with talent - figurative, abstract, contemporary...
Reply:I'm very picky about art.


My favourite artist is Franz Marc.


But even then, I am choosy about his work. I only like the tiger, the foxes, and the cat.


I love paintings of animals. Done in a loving and appreciative way.


Sue Boettcher is another one of my favourites. But maybe that is because she paints the same subjects as I do, but better.


And there is a Japanese artist, Tatsuya Ishiodori who has painted some pieces I am crazy about.


The key word is "SOME".


I don't like ALL of Marc's art work, nor ALL of Ishiodori's. I have only seen Boettcher's "Cats in a Tapestry Garden" collection, and have loved all of the pieces.


Whatever speaks to me, tugs at my heart, is what I love.


Some people have huge spaces in dramatic environments and they buy paintings which complement their surroundings.


Some people fall in love with one particular painting and imagine it hanging in their favourite room.


Personally, I want three Marcs paintings if I ever get rich. I'd choose the three I already mentioned. I have a print of the tiger one already, and would love to get the foxes next.


My home is hung with my own paintings - whenever I lose a friend to death, the only way to cope with my grief is to paint it. I have lost more animal friends than human. Generally, animals are physically more beautiful than humans to me and I love exploring their spirituality on canvas.


They also live in my ideal world, which would be devoid of most humans and the pain and destruction they inflict on everything in Nature.


My world is longing for perfection - harmony, beauty and grace. Expressed by colours and juxtapositions of cats and birds living happily in a garden of flowers and butterflies.


This image is my one finger holding on. Take it a step further and you get "Why can't everyone get along and forget about


their differences?"


So, that is the image that calls to me. What I want to see everyday, what I want to be reminded of, even when the news on t.v. is screaming otherwise.


I can't afford to buy originals.


Even if I could, I couldn't keep them in my home as the humidity and light here are totally unsuitable for preserving the original colours.


You have to be rich to buy paintings, and everyone rich enough to buy buys for their own reasons.


So I guess I haven't helped you at all, as I am not rich!


But I wanted to share my love of my 3 favourite artists with someone!
