The World's Most Famous Paintings.

Hello LiveDreamMakers! Ok, this may be my last post for the week unless something interesting happens or comes across my mind over the weekend, I won't forget to blog!

I have grown to develop love for art I’m surprised at myself. I really want a portrait of myself; Egyptian art is also some sort of art that is blowing off my mind right now, not to talk of cave arts(the earliest type of art found), gosh! I love paintings, especially prehistoric and ancient paintings. The modern type of “painting” or should say (spray painting??) is what I see as graffiti, the ability to mix up colors and get all those “very eye catching” still images are awesome. Imagine blending a room of graffiti (all the neon colors) with paintings? If you guys can imagine what I’m imagining, you must be feeling the vibes I’m feeling too, lol. That would definitely be awesome.

Anyways, below are the world’s most famous paintings and I arranged them on random basis.

Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci

The Italian Leonardo painted the portrait Mona Lisa from 1503-1506.

The delicately atmospheric haze, light and shadow contrasts created are just killing! Its super dope!

American Gothic by Grant Wood 

It was painted in 1930 and it depicts a farmer and his grown daughter in a style influenced by the 15th-centuary Flemish portraits.

I love the artistic mind behind this painting, though whenever I look at the farmer, it puts a silly smile on my face.

Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix 

French romantic painter Eugène Delacroix was inspired to paint Liberty Leading the People after the Revolution of 1830, when Parisians took up arms in hope of restoring the republic created after the French Revolution of 1789 to 1799.

The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali

Painted in 1931, the Spanish painter referred to his work as “hand-painted dream photographs”. The strange form in this painting’s foreground is based on an image from Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights (about 1505-1510).

However, I find it really really obsessive, it’s a kind of painting you would like to take a second look at. I see it as a paranormal art and that makes it sleek and unique. Its among my favorite paintings.

Creation of Adam by Michelangelo

According to the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, God created Adam, the first man, in his own image from dust. In this fresco from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo depicted God in human form, giving Adam the breath of life.

The Scream by Edvard Munch

From Norway, it was painted in 1893.

This is also one of my favorites. I see this painting as the perfect scream, the violent colors used, the sinuous forms, the screaming subject, I mean everything seems perfect in this portrait. It is a dope painting with a perfect environment. However, I would have loved it more had the other seen people acted as if the scream was having an effect on them. Owh well!

The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

The Starry Night (1889), one of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh's best-known paintings, illustrates the artist's vivid, expressive style. Thick, swirling brushstrokes and contrasting colors charge the work with emotional intensity. Van Gogh transformed the setting of a quiet village at night into a dazzling portrait of the inherent power of the natural world.

Campbells Soup Can

Campbell’s Soup Can (1962) by American pop artist Andy Warhol is one of a number of virtually identical paintings done by the artist in the early 1960s. The cartoonlike image, flat and simplified, is characteristic of pop art. Warhol selected his subject matter from amongst images already present in popular culture or advertising, thereby keeping his work intentionally impersonal.
