Anyone who doubts the value of an art history degree, research the above work.
"School of Athens"'s central figures are Aristotle and Plato. The painting is about their philosophies, and how they relate to God, man and Earth. (others pictured in the painting are: Socrates, Pythagoras, Euclid, Alcibiades, Diogenes, Ptolemy, Zoroaster) [img]http://www.vatican.va/museums/patrons/img/vm_pat2.jpg[/img] Quiz: One of the philosophers is gesturing down, towards the Earth. The other is pointing up towards Heaven. Who is who, and why? (identification clue: one of them is obviously older than the other) |

Major-Murphy,
The one pointing up towards heaven is "Plato." The one pointing down (sort of) is "Aristotle." Art History is/was indeed a good class. I enjoyed it very much. Photo's a prints don't do the SoA justice. It's something that really just be seen. I think I shot a whole roll of film of it while in Vatican City. |

OK, art guys, can you help me out on this?
Is this a copy of a famous work? [img]www.ar15.com/members/albums/GovtThug%2Fstatue%2Ejpg[/img] I only ask because I thought when I picked this up that it was cool, but since then I have seen a couple of repros of it in different media and different scale. So is it a copy of a famous work? |

GovtThug, your sculpture is somewhat similar to a famous painting by Ingres:

Let me preface this with the fact that I neither know, nor pretend to know anything at all about the arts, but I know what I like.
I like lots of artist's work, but Monet is one of my favorites. And I like Homer (Winslow Homer, not Mr. Simpson). "Gulf Stream" is a prime example of SHTF, what with the rough seas, dismasted boat, waterspout in the distance and a sea full of sharks. And "Sharpshooter", a Union sniper up in his perch with his rifle and the full length scope, well, you gotta see it. Kinda fits in around here. But, probably my favorite Homer is "Breezing Up (A Fair Wind)". I wish I could post a couple of examples of Homer's work, but I'm computer illiterate. |

Ah-HAH! I found it!
[img]http://www.uwrf.edu/history/images/art/canova.gif[/img] [i]Pauline Borghese I ran down several dead ends at first because I thought the style was Roman. But it isn't really Roman; it's Neoclassical. This is a sculpture of Napoleon Bonaparte's sister that depicts her as the Roman goddess Venus after winning the judgement of Paris (hence the apple in her hand). |

Yves Klein is an artist from the Sixties, who used to use naked chicks as paintbrushes. He'd "direct" them, and have them drag each other around on the canvas. [b]The feminists considered him to be Satan.[/b] So, of course he's cool.

Here's an African sculptuer that was made less than 200 years ago:
[img]http://www.primitiveartworks.com/Africa/Bule2.jpg[/img] It's made from: animal bones, vegetal matter, honey, human body parts were included. The surfaces are hard, with thick coatings of earth, impregnated with sacrificial materials such as the blood of chickens or goats, chewed and expectorated kola nuts, alcoholic beverages and millet. |
