Yea man the Gulf Stream is dope. I had to write a paper on that painting in college. Long bitch analyzing the picture from a historical, class, and race perspective.
Also did a 15 page marxist analysis of a few works of Hans Christian Anderson.
Can't say i'm a fan of The Kramer
But "Our Good Earth" became my favorite work of art once i started going to school here. So i can go look at it for free anytime i want. The treasury department gave it as a gift to our agriclutre department at the university here. It speaks to me being a commie from the midwest.

^^That’s dope CB. I never new you had such an eye for artwork.
As for myself, I’ve always lacked an artistic side but I’ve always enjoyed looking at old, dark-age to Late Middle Age Christian artwork, especially paintings that dealt with their version of hell.
Bosch is a good example:
this is an interesting (and sort of creepy!) painting of Christ carrying the cross by Bosch.
And also his 7 Deadly Sins

Yea man my mom used to be an art teacher. I guess i got her art genes cuz i was always pretty good at it. I used to be better because i haven't really kept up with my painting in the last year or so. Freud was right when he said it takes away from your sex drive. It's good for the single lonely man, but not for the one in a relationship with a woman who wants to be fullfilled.
Also a lot of art has been made into an elitist thing. To understand it, appreciate it, have access to it, etc is has always been a privelege of the rich. Now with the advent of quality printing presses and now even more recently the internet people have a greater access to great works of art dispite their class. But the way of looking at art has been so distorted by the rich that the working class has come to see it as something that you can only appreciate if you have some kind of skill and knowledge about looknig at art. In reality the rich have been misunderstanding art for a long time and don't appreciate it for it's true meanings rather just for athstetic value.
Being the commie you are you should really get up on Diego Rivera and Francisco Goya's works.
I got my mom this dope book about the mexican muralists (you should check out all of them not just Rivera though) and they did some real revolutionary art work, beautiful too.
