Post your favourite images by famous and featured artists and photographers in this thread. By images, I mean paintings, drawings, photographs engravings and the like.

So as not to stretch out the page for miles and to prevent long loading times, please limit your posts to three images in one post. Feel free to link to more images in the same post, but don't show them directly. You are, of course, free to post more than once if you have more images you want to share.

This is not a thread for your own drawings or for those of your friends.

 I know nothing about photography. So anything I post in this thread, I have no idea whether it's photographically good, skills wise, I just like it.


Was shown these in my Communications lecture the other day:

Took the idea and used it to make a new thread to find new posts for 'best emo art'. 

This is actually just clever advertising... very stereotypical, but clever:

^^ What are they advertising? Stupidity?

[Lightning.]

Personally I love sports photography






Sadly I don't have the names of the photographers who took these

Edit: I know there's a watermark at the bottom of the 2nd one but I can't read it :/

Pretty much stereotyping men as idiots who can't pay attention to anything else once a pretty woman walks by. 
It's playing up to the slogan "Dress to Kill". It was a clever campaign though. It's for a clothes shop.

"The Bird Queen"



"Afterschool"

Just a couple of literally dozens if not hundreds. The media is graphite and oil on wood, "Bird Queen" is also laser cut.

Nicely done Algernon, this thread is relevant to my interests.
