Those styles aren't really 'painting' styles, more like art styles or genres.
Especially something like Romanticism had a huge ideology behind it and isn't limited to painting.

Personally, I like a lot of styles.
From the romanticism period I like Caspar David Friedrich a lot.
From the surrealism period I think I prefer Rene Magritte over Salvador Dali.

In the mids of the 20th century there was a short wave of something called 'Colorfield painting'.
Mark Rothko really is one who I think contributed very impressive works in this style, but I still have to see his work in real life.
I keep hearing people are deeply moved while looking at his works, and I have to say I already do like it when only seeing small images of them on the internet.

A painter of today that I really appreciate is Gerhard Richter, but I need to search more for painters and artists in general that are alive and active today.

I don't like painting at all. 90% of paintings appear to be nothing mixed with strange alien things.

But this one is amazing. What style is this?

According to Wiki it's a dramatic motif.

So my vote goes to (other) Dramatic Motif!

I voted for other, my choice being realism. It's basically how my mind has wanted to express itself through art my whole life. Whatever is there, gets put on the paper. What isn't, isn't. Call it confined, but I find it to be comforting in a way, and I find it very rewarding to accurately portray subjects in paintings and drawings when I do them. The closer it is to looking real, the better I've done.

I recently saw his Two Men Contemplating the Moon piece at the Met in NYC, and he is also one of my faorite painters!

Romanticism is my favorite because of the incredible fantasy-like landscapes and the atmostsphere they produce. My favorite hobby is hiking so you can understand why I would like Romantic painting.

I am a photographer and Romantic Paintings can be very inspiring when shooting Landscapes.

Nice. I like hiking too.
Only problem is, it isn't exactly close by for me. For big parks I need to go abroad, since 90% of this country is man-made (it's silly).
But this is a little bit off-topic I guess...

Facepalm...

It's like "Who is James Hetfield?" "According to google it's a table."

Dramatic motif isn't a style. It's the contents and background of that particular painting. The artist represents romanticism, tho. Therefore you could've given your vote to that style.

Dramatic motif, wtf?!

Sorry, nothing personal...

Well, my knowledge in painting is zero, so my vote go to that painting!
But I liked your comment of James Hetfield... You know him...

Written by Ernis on 29.01.2012 at 00:56

The artist's name is Peter Nicolai Arbo. Here's some info bout him http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Nicolai_Arbo. You can google his name to look up more paintings by him.

I already know him, but I never searched any of his works rather than this "Assgaardeien" (something like this...). This painting is also cover for the Bathory's "Blood Fire Death". There's also another great painting that I enjoy:



Better than any weird abstract painting

Romanticism has lots of paintings that ooze the epic factor. They also feature boobs rather often...

"They feature boobs rather often."

What happens when your #1 comedy inspiration is Cracked.com.

I'm hardly knowledgeable when it comes to painting, but I've always liked Impressionism. So my vote goes there.

I like impressionism because I like to see brush strokes in a painting and bold colors too. They look unfinished up close but beautiful from afar.

Dali is Surrealism right?

Written by Edmund Fogg on 06.03.2012 at 16:37

Dali is Surrealism right?

Yeah, absolutely.

Written by vezzy on 07.03.2012 at 18:25

Yeah, absolutely.

Then my vote goes to surrealism or him more precisely. Not only his paintings are beautifull and mind twisting, but the whole persona and mystery he created is just incredible. I.e.: A french parfume shop wanted him to paint the window for the launch of a new fragrance called Fracas (Crash in english). He just sowed up on the release day and threw a brick right at the glass window. I love the guy.

'Twas a major toss up between surrealism and abstract. Eventually chose the former, but my mind still wavers...

I like any art form that challenges perception (is 'challenges' the right word?)

...I like any art form that is that pulls on out of ones self; breaks down conceptual reality and messes with your head a bit. The more the better.

When i opted paintings in class 12th i scored 92 out of 100 and I suppose i was good in painting still pictures like standing pot with a curtain in the background kinda stuff.

Ugh, so uncivilized. That is what we call nature morte or still life. How posh.

I voted for abstract

although I was definitely good at math too I HATED it and the math teacher HATED me too. I was alway a big fan of Literature at schools. It's off topic anyway.

Yep. anyway my mother is a good painter. WISH I had inherited the art gene

How can you guys not love this? The Baroque yielded some of the darkest works ever created. http://asylumeclectica.com/asylum/morbid/files/Judith-Slaying-Holofernes.jpg
