Stanley Donwood 🇬🇧 Dan Rickwood • Radiohead • Thom Yorke , by Wearology on Aug 17, 2016 12:51:16 GMT 1, This is a great thread and I really look forward to seeing everyones Holy Grail. Is there a way you can put the name of the artists and the titles of the image under the picture so many of us could learn more about your Holy Grails ? Sometimes we just assume that everyone knows who the artist is because the images are so iconic, but many of us especially me have no idea. Thanks - Wear

Stanley Donwood 🇬🇧 Dan Rickwood • Radiohead • Thom Yorke , by met on Aug 17, 2016 14:00:57 GMT 1, I'm guessing you mean the National Gallery, in the same room where Whistlejacket is displayed. Yes, I meant the National Gallery. Who would you choose - Constable or Stubbs? Whether discussing both artists generally, or these two paintings specifically, it will always be George Stubbs for me.
In large part, this is down to artistic subject matter. But I'm very fond as well of the slightly unnatural, often stilted nature of Stubbs' paintings (especially those with the plain or minimal backgrounds). It introduces a separate whimsical element. Whether or not this was the intention of the artist, the end result feels more contemporary and relevant to me than anything by Constable — whose paintings I also appreciate but for different reasons.
A number of works by Charming Baker and, in a polar opposite style, some paintings by Pop Surrealist artists like Marion Peck are in my view reminiscent of Stubbs.

If the buyer reads this and has buyers remorse then let's talk:) meadow is a close second! But how much would a specialist restorer charge to fix the hole?

Is the derivative more appealing than the original on which it was based?
If not, then start planning your Oslo heist and go for one of the Munch paintings.

I can't remember exactly and the pdf was updated removing the prices. I think it was 8900euro...possibly!
Great piece.
It was hung next to Remote control (which I bought) at the show...just to rub it in even more that I don't have it

I also think it would look brilliant with some space invaders in the sky.

Personally I think Remote Control is a far superior painting. Think Pejac is so strong when he's working in blacks, whites and greys. And I love the more abstract strokes on the grass. If you ever get bored of it give me a shout!

I agree. I had intended to reply saying I'd take a Stubbs every time. And this particular (well known) painting is a super example (and happens to be the image on the front cover of a delightful book about Stubbs).

I also prefer his use of those colours in most of his works. I was just sucked in (pun intended!) by Decompression:)
Alas I doubt I'll be getting bored of it anytime soon! Love it:)

It's not an impossible dream! I've just moved house and had a new baby so if anyone fancies buying a new home/ new baby gift you'll know what to buy

Thanks, I wasn't aware of one cent life, still slightly out of my current price range but hey, a lot closer than I had initially thought. I'll stick with my photo for now, my friend almost got thrown out of Tate Modern for taking it.
