 KissingAlex Grey In reviewing the artwork on this site, I was surprised not to see Alex Grey's work on here. Many may label it 'new age' or 'super natural' but after visiting his Temple of Sacred Mirrors in NYC, meeting him in person and hearing several talks he has given, I find his work utterly grounded in the greatness and potential of humankind. His work is a... (See the whole comment)

 Wanderer Above the Sea of FogCaspar David Friedrich This is the one painting I have seen that most clearly and powerfully expresses the noble view of man, such as that in the works of Ayn Rand. To best appreciate Friedrich's "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog," I suggest you contemplate it while listening to Ludwig van's Glorious Ninth - the second or fourth movement, your choice.

 DIMINISHING RETURNSFrank O'Connor A painting by Frank O'Connor. When I saw this painting in the companion book to AYN RAND: A SENSE OF LIFE, I fell in love with it immediately. It is playful, and seems to me like an attempt at a benevolent answer to Salvidor Dali. With all the talk about the new book THE PASSION OF AYN RAND'S CRITICS, and how Rand would have felt about it, i... (See the whole comment)

 The Art of Alex RossAlex Ross I wanted to share with SOLO my love of the work of Alex Ross. Ross is known for his dramatic paintings of superheroes. He has been called the "Norman Rockwell of comics," though he is much more inspired by illustrator Andrew Loomis. While other artists have painted superheroes before, Ross has captured the essence of the humanity of the c... (See the whole comment)

 Mile High Skyscraper: "The Illinois"Frank Lloyd Wright (I would like to give due credit to Mr. Philip Howison for referring me to this work in an earlier art discussion.) This full view of an immense building dwarfs the landscape and even the metropolis surrounding it. The building's faces reflect the sunlight with a golden glow and contribute to the purposeful, upward-striving angularity of thi... (See the whole comment)

 The Gods of MarsMichael Whelan This is a striking piece of art from well known fantasy artist Michael Whelan. He did this piece as a book cover for 'The Gods Of Mars'. The image shows a naked man surrounded by alien creatures with angry postures. Yet even in this alien environment, the man is in control of the situation, as shown by fact that he's driving a sword through one ... (See the whole comment)

This painting is replete with detailed variety, also featuring two roses and a decorated vase. ... (See the whole comment)

Her elaborate hairdo and manner of dress suggest a general orderly disposition and a desire to bring structure to her surroundings. The accurate depictions of her fingers in action as...

 The ConnoisseurNorman Rockwell Norman Rockwell, a realist painter from before the rise of the modernist painters, painted this most striking piece of comical irony as his response to the rise of the modernist painters such as Jackson Pollack and Pablo Picasso. This work, painstakingly real shows within it a modernist paint splattering and a man, who no doubt, like most of his t... (See the whole comment)

 Oil Painting 26Alexei L. Antonov The fruits in this bowl are amazingly rich; one can see the sparkle of the dark grapes and the little droplets of moisture on the grapes and peach. The background is also appealing; it supplies a warm reddish light to further emfasize the fruits and their allure. ... (See the whole comment)
