In honor of the friend from this thread
>>4208 who whished there was more non-anime stuff here, I decided to make this thread.
Pleasant and aesthetically pleasing western art is definitely /kind/ material.

>>4257>RoerichMy sister loves that guy. She once tried to redraw that 5th pic with different colors, and it phenomenal. She thought that it was bad, but I tried to convince her that it wasn't.

>>4412I first noticed his name when I was reading my sister "At the Mountains of Madness" when I was 16, and she was interested when he was mentioned. We looked him up, and she fell in love with his paintings. I think they're cool, but she really likes them. Thanks anon, for bringing him up. I haven't thought about that time with my sister in a while, and it's good to remember. Thanks again.

>>4416Yeah, it was a bit strange, but when I first read it, I was too invested in the story to take the time to look up a painter.
This conversation inspired me to go look for that old drawing my sister made, and it actually wasn’t a copy of the one you posted, but a similar one. I think that I’m going to call her tomorrow and remind her of this

>>4506Yeah, she's a really good artist. And an even better photographer. She actually had the opportunity to get into SCAD, but she gave it up so that she could have a shitty job at a car dealership in order to work with her boyfriend. It sucks a bit, thinking of what she could have done, but it's what she wanted to do, and I don't fault her for it.

>>4294Henry darger was a mad lad. I like that stuff.
>Classical & Western ArtMaybe not classical, but I also enjoy surreal works like the strange images that Max Ernst made.

>>4991>>4992Wow, these are pretty interesting. I especially like the second pic with the greenish structure in the background. There's a strangely dreamlike feeling to it.
>Henry darger was a mad lad. I like that stuff.It's too bad his work wasn't discovered until he was on his deathbed. With a little guidance from a more technically gifted artist, his work could have been even better.
His story is both depressing and inspiring.

>>5483Something about the fourth one has always felt kind of dreamlike to me despite its realistic style.
>>5484The snowy painting reminds me of something Pieter Bruegel the Elder would have done.
>>5485That first one looks like Trent Reznor.
>>5494Now that's what I call eldritch horror.

>>5515woah, that looks cool. do you remember the name of the piece?

>>5597wait no I'm a fool, I found it through reverse image search (Reflections of Clouds on the Water-Lily Pond, Monet). I wanted to try to find it in a better resolution to get an idea of it looks but I feel like seeing it online might not do it justice.
