TT #26: goddess & fantasy art

Lady of Shalott by Waterhouse

Thirteen favourite goddess & fantasy artists

I love art in all its aspects. For this TT I listed (in no particular order) 13 of my favourite artists, especially in the field of goddess and fantasy art. Some do more than that, but that's how I got to know them. I give examples, but all the websites are worth exploring!

~*~*~*~

  7. Oh, these are wonderful! I particularly liked Sabrina the Ink Witch, Jessica Galbreth, Paulina Stuckey-Cassidy, and Howard David Johnson--all for different reasons.

    Thanks so much for introducing me to such lovely artwork.

  14. Oh I love these, and I love the image you posted, of Waterhouse...and his painting I believe of Ophelia. I used to have some of his posters and I still love him. Have you ever seen some of these paintings in person?

    You and I both posted about art today, what a coincidence...although we have taken notice of very different art movements. In America in the 1950's there were a group of painters who reacted to the Romantic period of art...such as some of the artists, particularily Waterhouse...and did not representational paintings and sculpture.

    Interesting though, because they couldn't have done what they wanted unless they were in fact embracing and reacting to these kinds of art pieces...

    Waterhouse and the Romantics were quite revolutonary in their times. They rejected the uptight habits they saw in Victorian sociaty...looking for a traditional and conservative anti-industrial kind of thought and existence...really not that different from the painters I have posted about, but very different ways to make the images.

    Hope you have a chance to drop by! And be warned it's a terribly long post, but if you liek art, you might enjoy what I wrote and quoted.

    Cheers have a beautiful weekend Tink!!!
