It would be an interesting exercise for each of us to sit down and try to draw up a list of our 100 favorite paintings of all time. Naturally, those who are not professionally involved in art history can have problems hitting this number. However, whatever of many titles that we can write, each of us will undoubtedly offer a mixture of the quasi-university known and relatively obscure, with paintings that we have seen reproduced in popular culture from birth alongside works that have made a strong and unexpected impression on us the only time we met them in a book or a gallery. The list of 100 favorite paints in video form Above by Luiza Liz Bond is no exception.
You can recognize the name of Bond of his work on the YouTube channel The Cinema Cartography, including many videos – on David Lynchon Quentin Tarantinoon animationon cinematographyon The greatest films ever made – We have already presented here on open culture. Recently renamed as Tabula's houseThis channel now makes its aesthetic and intellectual explorations not only in the film but on art widely considered.
And although painting is not the art form with which we spend most of our time these days, it is always one of the first forms of art that come to mind, perhaps thanks to its twenty millennium of history. It is a relatively narrow but extremely rich slice of this story, covering the 14th century in the 20th century, that Bond made its 100 selections.
Among them, more than a few paintings than long -term open -time readers will remember that we had previously covered: Botticelli The birth of VenusBosch The Garden of Land DelightsMichelangelo Sistine Chapel Ceiling, Diego Velázquez Las MeninasFragonard The swingGoya The dogManet Lunch on the grassSargent Carnation, Lily, Lily, RoseVan gogh Starry nightKlimt Kiss himMatisse DanceMagritte LoversDalí's The persistence of memoryPicasso WarnicaWyeth Christina's worldand basquiat Unit. These works and many others constitute a journey through the “world of high symbolism and religiosity in a private space where painters tell their personal stories through images on the web”, as Bond says. Wherever the next major destination for art can be, only human creativity can take us there.
