Something in your home that you love or a piece of art you have your eye on/ would love to have!

@AcornAutumn

Where do people buy classical art prints eg Waterhouse, Grimshaw?

Searching online is either bringing me weird stuff or expensive stuff.

Try the website for the gallery the original is owned by. The Rate have a good shop. shop.tate.org.uk/hughes-april-love/arthug001.html

This is a great thread! Love some of these artworks, especially The Execution Of Lady Jane Grey, very striking. Not sure I could have it in my home, but I do love it.

Also thanks to pp for the Matisse 'The Snail' I also like that, i thought it was very touching that was one of his last artworks.

This belonged to my DGPs. I love it especially as it’s the only original art work I have.

Angela Harding's prints are lovely, and Richard Bawden's.

I love this print by Neil Thompson.

Classy, that Neil Thompson painting is in a similar style to David Barrow, except with finer detail.

I love this artist, Jacky Rawlins. Se and landscapes, often lots of atmosphere, light and sky. I was amazed but delighted she was in my price range.

WildRosie just googled David Barrow, you're right! That Northern Soul vibe.

I have a Pete McKee print on canvas that makes me smile too. He seems ho have changed his style recently, mine is at least 10 years old.

Ballsed up the link.

Thanks Sidge - I hadn't heard of him, but looking at his website and he paintings are gorgeous!

I have a lot of (local) original art in my home. However, I would love to own original art by Andre Kohn.

Tony Noble, Yorkshire artist paints ultra realistic local scenes, often gritty run down areas. Amazing talent, his tarmac is amazing!

@NoShitHemlock looks like we have similar tastes ☺️

Michael Sanders’ brother has a gallery near me - he’s an artist too and has some of his brother’s work on display and for sale. When I went in to buy my last framed print he had an enormous canvas on the wall that just made me stand still and look at it for ages. When I win the lottery I shall buy it!

That’s what’s so interesting about art - some of the things people have posted here I find hideous, some beautiful. Some I can appreciate the talent but wouldn’t want it hanging in my home. Art is so personal and touches us all in different ways.

A Bar at the Folies Bergeres, Manet

Adoration of the Christ Child, Correggio

I have three artists on my hit list for when the work on our house is done:

Richard Suckling who does beautiful vibrant seascapes, often of the West Country (family connections to there) The light and colour in his work just take my breath away.

Tony Allain based in Scotland, I really want a loch or mountain-scape (family connections again). His use of colour is amazing.

Frances Bell is based in Northumberland (my home county) and I would love a commission of a local landmark. Top choice for a piece of home!

I need to save up but I have a big birthday next year so I'm going to ask for one of these. How I'll decide, I don't know!

Oh and I saw Tony Evans the sculptor on 'Home is Where the Art Is' and I would love a bird of prey sculpture.

Definitely there are works I love that I wouldn't have in the home, like Egon Schiele, Richard Billingham's photos of his family or this large painting Three Oncologists www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artists/65127/three-oncologists-professor-rj-steele-professor-sir-alfred-cuschieri-and-professor-sir-david-p-lane

Anything by Bridget Riley, of course! I’ve had a poster of Nataraja on my wall pretty much everywhere I’ve lived for the past 25 years and I still love it as much as when I first got it. I would love to have a real one but would need a considerably bigger house to put it in!

Home is Where the Art Is

That programme made me so angry. Artists do NOT make commission pieces on spec like that. Especially not things that are so personal and specific. It gave such a false view of how the art industry works.

I adore works by Katy Jade Dobson.

I have this one - the original, in my bedroom.... and another 9 Artist Proof prints in my house. All the peacock ones, some with gold leaf....some abstract

... and I'm currently paying off 3 from her recent collection which should be delivered next month

I bought the painting of the woman from tk max and the frame fell off! However,it sort of fits in with my old terrace ( looking a bit unfinished).
My print is one of Yvonne Coomber who paints in Devon,it cheers my kitchen up. Would love to have one of hers in every room if I had money

Hylas and the Nymphs by Waterhouse. Saw it first in Manchester Art Gallery. The gallery took it down from display briefly because they felt it objectified women but then quickly put it up again after people's objections. I love it.

I am actually an artist (in foreign lands, so not any of the people who I named in my post) and it does make me at times too! But I have some feedback from people that it made them realise that "proper" art (that is a genuine quote) is not necessarily out of their price range. I would hope that sensible people realise that it's a TV show, and the you don't want the crazies as your clients anyway.

@Laiste you don't happen to know where Brian Froud prints are sold do you? I messaged their FB and got no reply.

Also looking for prints by childrens illustrators. Sorry, I know this isn't a Christmas bargains thread!

Someone asked about buying prints, I was going to say that I wanted some Atkinson-Grimshaw at Leeds GLlery and when I compared the prints in the shop to the originals on the wall the colours were vastly different on some, which makes me wary.

I love impressionism , particularly
Degas The Star
Renoir Umbrellas
For some reason i love Van Gogh Prisoners at Newgate, the perspective is wonderful. He is my favorite painter.
