I don't hate Paul Klee I just think he's a bit overrated. Though he has produced some stonking work there have been some unforgivable doozies.

unforgivable doozies

"Get lost Klee! Go take a line for a walk!"

There was some painter dude...

 

I think it was linked on this site years ago...

 

He went into a coma for years and was convinced he was in hell.

 

Then he painted it when he came out of the coma.

 

The paintings were fucking awesome.

 

I wish I saved them.

lol...zladislaw beksinski, rip. Although the coma/hell story is apocryphal.

yeah you're right, I don't really hate him either, but he's been a bit of a running gag for me since my arts teacher in school said "There would never have been a David Lynch if it wasn't for Paul Klee" - overrated is the word...

 

I mean, come on... :wink2:

Bernie Fuchs

Stanley Meltzoff

Norman Rockwell

And now I'm bored of google image search giving me nothing but low-res crap.

HEY perhaps someone in this thread can help me. I went to the British Museum a year or two ago, and there was an exhibiton on of a guy who did illustrations with biro ink straight out of the pen. Then there was wierd sound in the room, a strange installation in the middle of the room and two big prints of photographs. Thats it, and I want to know who it was because I loved it.

Gustav Klimt

Andrew Wyeth

Kent Williams

Zdzislaw Beksinski

J.W. Waterhouse

William-Adolphe Bouguereau

To name a few.

hell no Klee is a one man movement.

Bougereau? ugh can't stand that french neo Classicism shit, full of itself sugar coated shit, technically deft but not much else.

Well yeah, Jesus and naked girls have been done to death. I just like the way he paints and depicts light.
