All-Time Artists Draft

[boozehound]

Joshumitsu is skipped, he has now two pending picks.

Fatal9 has a pending pick.

Via PM, Vapid selects Banksy.

heyhey is up.
nice pics vapid! Goya is one of my all time favorites and banksy is an interesting pick. Im surprised more modern artists havent been chosen yet. maybe people look at them as a value pick?

[Jasi]

Contemporaries are by definition less influential than more historical figures.
Also, there's a less fixed ranking between them so less competition for big names, imo.

But I will pick one or two of them, there's many contemporaries I really like.

[Black Joker]

god damnit vap! that was the person i was going to pick instead of Duchamp, but i assumed he'd drop to me

[Joshumitsu]

I select the Japanese painter Hokusai. His work caused Western painters such as Monet and Renoir to become more interested in Japanese paintings. It is said that the Japanese influence on 19th century art movements, such as Impressionism, can be credited to Hokusai.

I also select Romanticist Caspar David Friedrich. Primarily known as a Romantic era landscape painter, his works gained later fame and recognition in the early 20th century when the Expressionists rediscovered his paintings. He has since, then, influenced the existentialists and surrealists and even the Nazi party who claimed his work as nationalistic (he was German, as you can tell by his last name).

You shouldn't have said you would pick someone more unusual, that swayed me to pick banksy over another who I'm much more confident you wouldn't pick

[Jasi]

I will make VERY USUAL picks until the end of the draft :lol

[Black Joker]

[Jasi]

Picks noted.

heyhey is on the clock.

Fatal has a pending pick.

[Jasi]

I haven't provided any rule on this matter at the beginning, would you guys be ok with allowing uncertain/unknown authors of certain works of art?

[Joshumitsu]

I haven't provided any rule on this matter at the beginning, would you guys be ok with allowing uncertain/unknown authors of certain works of art?

I don't see why not.

[boozehound]

I haven't provided any rule on this matter at the beginning, would you guys be ok with allowing uncertain/unknown authors of certain works of art?
HUh, I think that gets a little derivative. If thats the case, Im picking pre-contact native american art for the rest of my picks, as they are my favorite overall artistic traditions

[heyhey]

Decided to mix it up a little bit with my choice of Banksy:


damn son I was gonna save him for my last pick. Banksy is really trendy right now.

I'm going to take Yves Klein. will edit post with pics later. Have exams to study for.

Most of my picks have been modern. I don't think I chose anyone from before 20th century. A lot of my favorite contemporary artists aren't going to make it unfortunately. I'll post some of them after the draft's over.

[Jasi]

Fatal9 is up + he has a pending pick.

[Fatal9]

here...gonna pick in a few minutes. sorry about the missed pick.

[Jasi]

As for the un-ascertained artists, the original rules didn't explicitely exclude the chance to pick "the author of" something even if unknown, so I think I'm all for allowing them.
The spirit of the draft is to represent human genius (in visual arts), so as long as the product of such genius is visible, it's legit, regardless of the identity of its creator.

[Fatal9]

Gustave Courbet

French/Realist - probably the most important figure in the 19th century realism movement, at least when it came to the visual arts. influential on painters like Monet (specifically his early paintings), Cezanne etc.

http://www.paintinghere.com/UploadPic/Gustave%20Courbet/big/Plage%20de%20Normandie.jpg
Normandy

http://www.avenuedstereo.com/modern/courbet_stone.jpg
StoneBreakers - typical realist painting, I believe this one was destroyed by the Nazis.

http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/rschwart/hist255/bohem/widestudio.gif
The Artist's Studio

http://www.dl.ket.org/humanities/gallery/images/courbet_.jpg
Burial at Ornans -note he doesn't omit things like a stray dog (same with artist's studio), doesn't centralize the painting (which was a neoclassical trait), strips his paintings down and depicts life purely as he sees it.

[Fatal9]

Le Corbusier - maybe not the most visually pleasing architect (modern architecture in general isn't to me), but one of the leaders of the modernist movement. huge influence on modern city planning.

[Jailblazers7]

I think I recall him already being selected.

[Jasi]

Yes he's been picked at the 4th round by Joshumitsu

[Black Joker]

I think I recall him already being selected.
yup by Joshimitsu in the 4th round

[Joshumitsu]

Yup, sorry bro!

[Jackass18]

So, who's up?

[Black Joker]

i think bird gets skipped/has a pending pick

and Jasi is up

[Jasi]

I take Anselm Kiefer.
More on him later.

Jailblazers is up

[Jailblazers7]

I select Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Ill post pics later.

[Jasi]

Picks noted.

Black Joker is on the clock.

Fatal9 and Bird have a pending pick.

[Jasi]

I take Anselm Kiefer.
More on him later.

Jailblazers is up

Anselm Kiefer is by far my favourite modern/contemporary artist.
The depth of his poetics is breathtaking.
He paints, sculpts and does installation art.
I had the luck to see his works (often large scale) directly a lot of times and I just stare in awe at the evocative power of his visions, that mostly refer to the horrors of the XX century, especially the Holocaust.

[Jailblazers7]

Damn, I wasn't even thinking about comic book artists. Interesting development.

[Black Joker]

Damn, I wasn't even thinking about comic book artists. Interesting development.
oh yeah, Joker is bringing new and interesting things to the table :oldlol: :D

[Jasi]

Damn, I wasn't even thinking about comic book artists. Interesting development.


Tbh that's quite a gamble in my book.
I had thought about comics for the literary draft, but for visual arts? Mmmm lower value, imo. (I know mine will be an unpopular opinion in the OTC :D)

But of course an original development is always very welcome in the draft! :cheers:

[Fatal9]

yea, probably should have checked if Le Corbusier had been drafted. anyways I haven't selected anyone from England or an architect yet so...

Christopher Wren

Jack Kirby was one of my other choices in that Banksy spot.

[Black Joker]

Jack Kirby was one of my other choices in that Banksy spot.
i'm not sure if i like that we're thinking fairly similar :oldlol:

[Bird]

Blu - Graffiti/Street Artist

Not as good as Banksy, but just as famous on the international scene. Since Banksy was taken already, Blu would be my second choice out of the street artists whose works I have seen.

Picks noted.

Booze is up for a double pick, followed by Jackass.

[Joshumitsu]

Damn, was hoping to pick Magritte.

[Jackass18]

Is Booze skipped at 9pm EST?

[Jackass18]

I'll take:

Peter Paul Rubens


was a prolific seventeenth-century Flemish Baroque painter, and a proponent of an extravagant Baroque style that emphasized movement, color, and sensuality. He is well-known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.

[boozehound]

Is Booze skipped at 9pm EST?
hey sorry guys. Ive got a funeral to drive to. Skip me (if you havent already) and Ill try and make my pics either tonight or tomorrow night. Rubens is a very nice pic.

[Black Joker]

sorry to hear about that booze.

as we have taken creators of buildings, who build things with steel, wood, and other materials, why not push the boundaries and take someone who designs with fabric. i will be taking one of the most important figures in fashion design.

Coco Chanel

[Jailblazers7]

Basquiat:

http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/~malek/Surrealism/roy30.jpg

http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/~malek/Surrealism/roy20.jpg

[Jackass18]

http://www.artchive.com/artchive/m/magritte/magritte_recamier.jpg

That was Margritte.

[Jailblazers7]

That was Margritte.

My bad. I googled his name and that popped up. The link even had Margritte's name in it lol.

[Bird]

Tiziano Vecelli aka Titian <<<<< This is Jasi's pick.

My pick:

Andy Goldworthy


Andy Goldsworthy, OBE (born 26 July 1956) is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist living in Scotland who produces site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. His art involves the use of natural and found objects, to create both temporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fc/Andy_Goldsworthy-Roof_2.jpg/800px-Andy_Goldsworthy-Roof_2.jpg

A little different then most sculptors, but I am tying to have a wide range of people on this art team.

[Jasi]

Tiziano Vecelli aka Titian <<<<< This is Jasi's pick.


Thanks Bird.

I love the Rubio... er, Rubens pick as epitome of baroque painting, but I now select Titian, called by his contemporaries "The Sun Amidst Small Stars", the guy who brought painting out from Renaissance, an innovator that introduced the dominance of colour (as opposed to drawing) and established himself as the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school.

I'll post just one painting of his, it will be enough.
The most famous rendition ever of the theme of Assumption.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Tizian_041.jpg

[Jasi]

So, Fatal9 is up with his 8th pick, and booze is very well justified for having pending picks from now till the end of the draft.

[Jackass18]

Is there enough interest to extend this draft?

[Jasi]

Is there enough interest to extend this draft?

You mean more rounds?
I wouldn't mind at all.

[Fatal9]

I will take Bramante

Very influential High Renaissance architect.

http://oi53.tinypic.com/fygvhc.jpg
Tempietto - one of best examples of perfect and strict symmetry in Renaissance architecture, looks symmetrical from every direction (even overhead).

http://www.boerner.net/jboerner/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Milano_Grazie_1.jpg
Apse of Santa Maria delle Grazie

http://www.aadip9.net/timeline/santa-maria-della-pace2.jpg
Cloister of Santa Maria della Pace

He also came up with the design for St. Peter's Basilica but died before anything could really be constructed. His original design was eventually followed by Michaelangelo:
http://two.archiseek.com/wp-content/gallery/italy/stpeters_lge.jpg

[Jackass18]

You mean more rounds?
I wouldn't mind at all.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind at least 12.

[Jasi]

Bramante! How could I forget about him! :eek:
I pass so many times near Santa Maria delle Grazie...

[Jasi]

heyhey is up, followed by vapid.

Jackass18, if we extend the draft can you help me with it?
I'll be leaving for a trip to Switzerland/Germany tomorrow, so I won't be able to call the picks and stuff...

[heyhey]

I'll take Hedi Slimane. His fashion campaign with Dior Homme literally reshaped the silhoulette and landscape of male fashion. Male fashion was moribound until the arrival of Slimane. His intricate stitching and attention to detail along with artistic vision separates him from guys like Tom Ford, who are basically high class pornographers. I remember in 2004 when I was just a 12 year old boy lying in my bed alone. Nothing instilled belief in me that there was more to the world outside of the doldrums of middle school than the clothing and photographs of Slimane.

Hedi Slimane's also famous for his photography of waifish boys and musicians whose look he fetishized.

I can help, but I have some things to do tomorrow and don't know when I'll be around.

[Bird]

Jasi, Jackass...I can help with the draft.

I get on here everyday (though I am deployed, I mostly work whilst on the internet) and I check the thread anytime I see there is a new post.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

[LJJ]

Thought you guys weren't picking filmmakers.

[Joshumitsu]

I select artist David Hurst. Part of the Young British Artists group, he came to prominence in the 1990's. He is known for installation and conception art. I'm not too big a fan of his work but the global artistic community (and Wiki) says he's pretty good.

I also select photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky. Renown for his photos of early 20th century Russia, his photographs served as the first of their kind. Y'all might recognized these:

Francis Bacon is a fantastic pick. He's the first artist who's work I fell in love with.

Hans Holbein the Younger


was a German artist and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style. He is best known as one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire and Reformation propaganda, and made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father, Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school.

[Jasi]

Hi all, I'm back.
(Freiburg im Bresgau is a very nice town for a weekend!)

Thanks Bird and everyone for going on!
I'll post some images for my last two picks in a bit.

PS Picks noted in the first page!

[Jailblazers7]

I select William Eggleston.

http://swampland.com/img/Image/calemine/eggleston2.jpg

http://www.thisheartsonfire.com/images/WilliamEggleston03.jpg


He is widely credited with securing recognition for color photography as a legitimate artistic medium to display in art galleries.

Second pick coming in a second.

[Jasi]

Jasi selects Francis Bacon.


Francis Bacon.
Imo, after Picasso, the biggest painter of '900.

[Jasi]

Jasi selects Alberto Giacometti.


Swiss sculptor, printmaker, painter:

Giacometti was a key player in the Surrealist Movement, but his work resists easy categorization. Some describe it as formalist, others argue it is expressionist or otherwise having to do with what Deleuze calls 'blocs of sensation' (as in Deleuze's analysis of Francis Bacon).
...
He attempted to create renditions of his models the way he saw them, and the way he thought they ought to be seen. He once said that he was sculpting not the human figure but "the shadow that is cast." His figures resembled the way he looked upon himself.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder

North Renaissance painter and printmaker (have a renaissance architect but not a renaissance painter). Known mainly for his folk art portraying peasant scenes (daily life, festivals etc) though he also has many great landscape paintings. If I remember correctly from when I first heard of him, I believe he used to dress up as a peasant and sneak into things like festivals and weddings to truly make his art authentic.

http://renaissanceguy.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/800px-bruegel_proverbs.jpg
Proverbs - this painting is filled with proverbs used at the time, many of them still survive today. For example, the globe on the left side of the painting (underneath the fool popping out the window) represents the proverb "world has been turned upside down". The crescent moon the guy in the bottom left corner = "pissing on the moon". the guy in the bottom left corner = "bang my head on a brick wall" aka :banghead:. everything going on in the painting represents a proverb.

http://gardenofpraise.com/images/bruegel2.jpg
Children's Games - all sorts of games that children used to play at the time. you can see why his paintings are so important as a depiction of the social history of the times (often see them in history textbooks), as painting peasant culture wasn't exactly the first subject choice for painters.

Artemisia Gentileschi. She isn't given much credit and respect because, well, she's a woman. But her influence is significant to women painters who sought her as a form of inspiration. Her knowledge of art was just as good as anyone else's.

With my 11th pick I select the architect of Angkor Wat.


Angkor Wat is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation — first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building.[1] The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.


Has a case for being "the most beautiful place in the world".

For my final pick, I'll take:

Eero Saarinen


was a Finnish American architect and industrial designer of the 20th century famous for varying his style according to the demands of the project: simple, sweeping, arching structural curves or machine-like rationalism.

I assume you are talking about Renzo Piano? lol didn't you take Corbusier? that's the architect I wanted. or are you talking about shepard fairey? I would have taken Dolk if Shepard was not so much more well known and influential. i personally prefer Dolk's stencil style.

talking about fairey but i can see why you like Dolk, some of his work is simply amazing. i had a hard time trying to decide between what graffiti artist i wanted to take, i had a few in mind, but decided to go with influence. that isn't to say i don't like Rat's work, but recognition is important in something like this

Bird and Fatal have 1 pending pick, and heyhey is back on the clock.

[Fatal9]

*follows Jasi's lead*

the architect of the Taj Mahal, who may and may not have been "Ustad Ahmad Lahori"

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/07/03/article-0-011D5057000004B0-361_468x316.jpg

I went there during my trip to India and Nepal. Sadly the fountain wasn't working, the river behind the Taj was black from pollution, the marble in the back had worn down (due to pollution probably) but iirc they were cleaning it up. The city it is located in (Agra) was also one of the worst I saw in India, shame because it had a lot of historical architecture from what I remember. It wasn't as crowded as the picture shows but the building is definitely larger than life when you first see it. It's magnificent but wish they would make the surroundings better. That was more than five years ago so things might be different now.

The internet tells me he also designed the "Red Fort" in Delhi:

You did, but the draft has been extended to 12 rounds so you have two more picks

[boozehound]

ok, since art of unknown origin is allowed, I am going to choose two of my favorite pre-columbian art styles of the americas.

The first is shell gorgets (and other ornaments, cups, etc) from the Mississippian Culture of modern SE USA. These civs were moundbuilders with a great class of specialized artisans. The biggest towns rivaled anything in Europe at the time in terms of population. The remnants of these cultures were encountered by De Soto and others, but had lost a great deal of population (and cultural knowledge) due to the spead of new infectious disease. Most of these were lost, but the known examples hint at an incredible tradition of shell carving.

They also have a copper tradition
http://coolohio.com/horus/falcman2.jpg


as well as incredible stonework and pottery
http://coolohio.com/horus/plummet.jpg

alot of these were looted from burial mounds early in the 20th century (and late 19th). The site with the best artwork (Spiro, near Spiro OK) was actually blown up with dynamite once the mining companies "mineral" rights lease expired. Each of the major cities across the southeast would have had hundreds or thousands of these shell artifacts at any one time.

Tibetan Sand Mandala

http://andrew.hedges.name/blog/assets/imgs/the-loop/sandmandala.jpg


From all the artistic traditions of Tantric Buddhism, that of painting with colored sand ranks as one of the most unique and exquisite. In Tibetan this art is called dul-tson-kyil-khor, which literally means "mandala of colored powders." Millions of grains of sand are painstakingly laid into place on a flat platform over a period of days or weeks.




Traditionally most sand mandalas are destroyed shortly after their completion. This is done as a metaphor of the impermanence of life. The sands are swept up and placed in an urn; to fulfill the function of healing, half is distributed to the audience at the closing ceremony, while the remainder is carried to a nearby body of water, where it is deposited. The waters then carry the healing blessing to the ocean, and from there it spreads throughout the world for planetary healing.

Nice.

Joshumitsu and heyhey with the final picks.

[heyhey]

I'll take Frida Kahlo as my last pick. I have been debating between Rauschenberg, Frida.

I think I'll choose Frida Kahlo over Rauschenberg since Rauscenberg's style is a bit cloose to Jasper johns.

[vapid]

nice pick. kept thinking about picking her to break up the sausage fest that all time artist teams can be.
Georgia O Keefe and her ****** paintings is still around.

[Joshumitsu]

I'm going the route of pop art. My last pick will be Roy Lichtenstein.

His depictions of comic art in the form of parody has no doubt influenced how America sees itself. This especially pertains to the recent rise of nostalgic merchandise and self-parodying pop culture references in Postmodern America. Though, Lichtenstein has refused to associate himself with the concept of "American" art. He, instead, prefers to be seen as part of the Pop Art movement. In a way, wherever capitalism has touched, Lichtenstein likely would've had some influence on the popular art of that time and place, especially as artists begin to embrace the irony of the period.

For the moment let's throw in some undrafted artists...

Daniel Libeskind

[Joshumitsu]

It's been a fun draft. I've gained much more knowledge about painting and sculpture than I would've had I not participated. Best of luck to everyone in the judging round. It's an impossible task to judge art but human error will prevail, like it has for the last several thousand years, and in the end, we'll know who was the better man, woman, and/or child. :D

[vapid]

Holy shit totally forgot about Boticelli. Should've drafted him. Was also considering Hieronymus bosch, Theodore Gericault, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat, among others.
