Welcome to /r/ArtHistory

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what would you consider Lynn Curlee's style to be? I love the cover art for Blue Oyster Cult's album Agents of Fortune. I looked into the artist and realized I really like Lynn Curlee's style and want to find other art like it. I know nothing at all about art so I'm wording of this particular style has a name. Or is it more of his personal style?

I am currently writing an essay in uni about Guernica and I have looked everywhere online but I can't find any photos of Guernica's museum label. If anyone has a photo on their phone or knows where to find photos of museum labels that would be incredibly helpful!

Dear hive mind,

I'm currently doing some research on Anna Uddenberg. She's a swedish artist based in Berlin who does a very interesting combination of sculpture and performance art in her more recent works. She designs the sculptures herself and exhibits them solo, but there are also occasional performances in which the performers interact and kind of merge with the sculptures.

I'd like to know if you can think of any artists with similar approaches regarding the combination of sculpture and performance art. I didn't really come across anything similar yet, but I want to be sure I'm not missing anything. I think sculptural works that relate to the human body in an ergonomic way that compares to what Uddenberg does would be helpful as well. I know Robert Morris also refers to the body in his work, but I'm looking for sth that maybe has a bit more similarity in its aesthetic form.

I cannot help but notice how similar Botticelli's paintings are to what I have recently seen in Pompeii and the Archaeological Museum in Naples, which has a huge collection of Roman frescoes.

From both, one can observe this very specific delicacy, ephemeral poses of slim and elongated figures, all floating amidst an abundance of flowers, leaves, trees painted witch accuracy.

Could Botticelli have even seen any of it? He was in Rome, but I think the majority of Roman paintings were discovered in the 16th century...

Or maybe it's simply the combination of the topic and the technique? Mythology and tempera seem to resemble the aesthetics of frescoes more than oil paintings do...

I tried to google but it was in vain...

I'm looking for recommendations for art journal and magazine subscriptions to expand my casual reading.

I am US-based and am mostly interested in both Eastern and Western European artists from about 1100 CE through contemporary. I am already subscribed to the main 3 for contemporary art (Hi Fructose, Juxtapoz, ArtForum).

Thanks in advance for any recommendations you may have.

Hi besties. I'm currently doing a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification which will allow me to teach English online without a degree. I was wondering if there was a certification for Art Hist? I would like to teach it someday even if it's online. Does anybody know of a good certification or even an associate's degree? (I passed the AP Art History test with a 4.)

I read a bio about 10 years ago. I was trying to find it again. It was split up between two painters. I can’t remember which painters though. I know it was 2 of these 3: Rembrandt, Rubens, Messonier. I know that’s pretty vague but hoping the double bio feature might make it more easy to identify.

Perhaps one of the more underrated landscapes the desert has always fascinated me. I'm currently working on a writing project that concerns the desert and I'm trying to source as many artworks depicting deserts as I can. Religious depictions like Kramskoi's Christ in The Desert would also be super helpful. So what are your favorite works of the desert?

Here I am again asking about feminist paintings :))

I recently came across Vittorio Reggianini's La Soiree and I can't stop thinking about how nice it would be to see paintings where women were gathered around and showing off their craft or doing "girl boss" things (idk how I'd describe it well, tbh).

Could you suggest any paintings with a similar theme?

Most of the posts on here are from the past two centuries, and the others are usually from 1400 or later.

Why is there so little appreciation for ancient, classical and medieval art here? There's so much interesting and beautiful art from before 1400.

English title of the painting is "Man playing the cithern and a young woman in an interior" I've been looking through multiple sites and was only able to find a book that is supposed to include info (said book is sadly not available as digital version) I'd love to read a deeper analysis or description of the painting, I'd appreciate any sort of help or tips♡ Edit: I mainly want to know who those people portrayed are or if it's known which painting is displayed in the back The painting

What is the last art or art history reading that really excited you/you enjoyed? It can be a book, an essay, a blog post, anything! I am an Art History student on summer break and I am trying to keep myself reading. I recently read Hans Ulrich Obrist’s “A Brief of Curating” and enjoyed it. Obrist gives a history of curation through interviews with various curators. Currently, I am trying to read “Art History After Modernism” by Hans Belting, not as fun of a read so far but it is interesting. This book is about how writing about art has changed in the contemporary era.

I can usually enjoy works about any time period or era as long as it is well written. I mostly read about modern and contemporary art in the Americas. I am looking for an more casual read, unless you are dying to recommend something that is more challenging! I may give it a chance!

Thank you in advance :) <3

I personally love Haring, and his contemporary Jean Michel-Basquiat. Two lynchpins in the history of hip-hop culture, and two VERY skilled artists. Why do I not see more recent art history on this subreddit? 80's and 90's? It's a time when marginalized people really made their voices heard, louder than ever.

I'm writing a story and need a brief example of classes some grad students would take for an Art History degree. And a handful of cool discussions that a professor would lecture. I don't need anything in depth.

So, I'm curious from an investment view point which would be more valuable in the long term? I heard that Dali's later work (1970s) isn't as valuable as his earlier work and there were scandals about this lithographs where he was signing blank sheets for resale later. Thoughts?

I hope it's ok to ask this question on this forum. Apologies if not.

The painting is Mont Sainte-Victoire.

Why does Cezanne have brushstrokes of green in the sky? I have seen Cezanne paint people and often there will be green stripes on their faces too. And the yellow is a recurring colour in environments and landscapes. It is very vivid and beautiful... but why?

I really like it, but I am wondering what effect Cezanne has in mind.

Thank you all.

Hi

My partner is hoping to stay with an accidental bee theme in one room, and I want some new art on the wall.

Any thoughts of something I can buy a print of with a bee or bees?

I asked ChatGPT and can’t find any of its suggestions for sale, or in some cases at all.

Thanks

I am looking for art books on Pre-Raphaelite and Renaissance but I must admit I don't quite know where to start, or which ones are worth buying. Happy to have books that also include some information/history on the piece as well.
