RE: Sharing is Caring - Paintings You Like
Yeah, I noticed. He manages to give nature a lot of personality. Large and in charge!
I'm not sure if I would call the Van Gogh painting sad, but it's hard for me to describe. In a sense it almost seems like page taken from an experimental comic book. Or a cartoon for that matter. A little bit of music might change the tone completely.
Is this art? A painting?
Aren't most great artists dealing with sadness, depressions?
Generally, but not necessarily. There's this infamous japanese manga artist who specializes this fucked up stuff, truly, but then in real life he's more or less just a goofy sweatheart who throws cat poses. Meanwhile you've got someone like Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli fame, known for dozens of heartfelt movies about little girls having quirky adventures, and the man talks like he was part of that soccer team that crashed into the Andes Mountains.
