Alice Neel- Peggy

The unique thing about this work is that you notice the face/hair is very detailed, but as you look at other parts of the drawing, you notice that the detail is very minimalistic. The clothes and chair are mere lines as compared to her main body.

Susan Coe - Mad Goat Outside Slaughterhouse

The funny thing about this drawing is that is it drawn on the wool paper made from the wool from a rescued sheep. The Charcoal is very intense with the outline and shading of the goat, reflecting the attitude and mood of the goat who might or might not be slaughtered.

Albrecht Durer - The Revelation of St John: The Four Riders of the Apocalypse

Everything about this piece screams perfection. The detailing, shading, anatomy, figure ground usage and mood shocks the patron who views this piece. I think besides Nemesis aka The Large Fortune this is durer's best woodcut and the best part of it is the clothe shards that break from the pale horseman's skin.

Picasso - Guitare et bouteille de Bass [etude]

Picasso explains how simple shapes and shading can provide a very abstract and alive look at everyday things. In this example, it is guitar and bass instruments

Thomas Eakins - Perspective practice from his art book The Pair-Oared Shell

I think this drawing could really help me with my perspective drawings... Before seeing this I never knew how to Grid well but this should help me out alot.

Amazing Detail with short sharp strokes and good anatomy for just a quick sketch. I think from now on I will try to emulate this style when doing fast figure drawings of humans

Egon Schiele - The Dancer

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...Schiele_011.jpg

Gives an interesting look at anatomy

Edward Hopper - American Landscape

http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2007/hopper...ork/229-159.jpg

detailed look at crosshatching style and perspective

Keith Haring - DJ

http://www.haring.com/art_haring/images/drawing83_3.jpg

Funny and abstract drawing of the average DJ.

Kathe Holwitz - Woman with Dead Child

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Kollwitz.jpg

Invokes really strong emotion, as expressionism should do, note the strokings and pale tone of the etching.

Claes Oldenburg - Soft Screw in Waterfall

http://www.nga.gov/image/a0000b/a0000b57.jpg

I really like the inking and energy the drawing reflects. Also the way the screw is drawn is pretty cool.

Edward Degas - After Bath
http://www.galleryofart.us/cache/Edgar_Deg...ath.JPG_595.jpg

The way he captured the form of the woman is very interesting.

Rembrandt - The Three Crosses
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...rosses_1653.jpg

This particular style of etching focuses on a "lightrays" which make this piece so good.

so glad im not in school nemore

William Blake - Joseph von arimathea

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...n_arimathea.jpg

Looks like he used pointillism in this piece, the figure ground ambiguity looks great



Honoré Daumier - NADAR élevant la Photographie à la hauteur de l'Art
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/t...x-DR3248_13.jpg

The style is funny, as it should be reflecting the parody of the drawing itself.

Peter Paul Rubens - Grangerel, Juppiter and Ganymede
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...s_1786-1808.jpg
The detail on the eagle deserves attention

Leonardo Da Vinci - Study Of Horse
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...dy_of_horse.jpg
The reason I chose this drawing over all of da vinci's amazing works is because it shows that even he had to practice his anatomy, though he had natural talent.

Jim Dine - Tomato and Pliers

http://collections.currier.org/media/Previ.../1973.63_00.jpg

The lithography for the tomato is cool

David Hockney - Celia In a Negligee
http://www.hockneypictures.com/images/3-wo...negligee_73.jpg


Really light picture but you can still see the important details for it

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres - Portrait of Victor Baltard's wife (born Adeline Lequeu) and their daughter Paule
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...fille_Paule.jpg

The hair, face and shades of the clothing are very well done for graphite.

Vincent van Gogh - In der Provence
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...n_Gogh_0024.jpg
Great use of perspective to create a spanning valley behind the bridge

Henri Matisse - Study for the Back
http://www.artst.org/matisse/image/595/190...e+Back%2C+I.jpg
Interesting hatching he has there

Giambiattisa Piranesi - self portrait
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...si-Portrait.jpg
What great detail in his etching, very sharp and the figure ground ambiguity is awesome!

Mathis Gothart Grünewald - Verkündigungsmaria
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...igungsmaria.jpg

When I look at this, I get sort of jealous. He makes the shading for charcoal look so damn easy and this is what I want to learn so much.
Sadly he has been dead for centuries and his secrets are sealed within death.

Hokusai - Great Wave off Kanagawa

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...ff_Kanagawa.jpg

This is one of my favorite woodcuts ever because it defied the standard of art at the time.
Mt Fuji was Always supposed to be he pinnacle of focals in art in that era but Hokusai took that risk amongst criticism to make Fuji smaller then the towering Okinami the sailors are braving.

Alberto Giacometti - Man Reading a Book
http://www.moma.org/images/collection/Full...5_1975_CCCR.jpg
Very simple composition drawing by Giacometti


Henri Toulouse-Lautrec - Marcelle Lender sitting
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...ing%2C_1895.jpg
The shade on her face makes it very eerie but a good drawing nonetheless.

still don't know what u re doing here

Henry Moore - Tube Shelter Perspective
http://www.roland-collection.com/rolandcol...ills/32-580.gif
Dark, brooding portait that resembles a Slave ship's quarters.

Willam DeKooning - Seated Woman
http://static.artcat.com/calendar/84a8a141...1512af12ae.jpeg
Weird quick sketching of odd proportions and abstract composition.

Lucien Freud - New Yorker
http://www.channel4.com/news/media/2007/06...n_freud_380.jpg
Etching that reveals soft shading with a great negatived spaced background.

I'll probably will be pulling the 6 yr plan


Shitty artist critique

Have to do this shit AGAIN...

Let's Start



Chuck Close
Self portrait woodcut

The style is really mesmerizing, I really want to know how Close composed the rhizome looking shapes into a combined portrait of himself. but what is even better is the values of the blacks whites and grays used in an odd oily pattern which surprisingly works well


Oskar Kokoschka
Hugo Erfurth

This drawing reminds me of some of the quick sketches I have done in class when learning about human figures, etc. It shows that with a few lines you can make a simple human face/shape that looks good


William Blake
To the Accuser Who Is the God of This World
Blake wonderfully details the muscles of the human body with neat, tight hatchings which flesh the body of the angel to a T. It is well done and I will try to emulate this style of hatching

FUCK
