Hi Warlock

I love the BW Smith does Celtic scrollwork in his art...

Yes, Unknown, Barry Windsor Smith's influences are Celtic, and the Pre-Raphaelites.  Have you ever seen them?

Hi Warlock

Now that you mention it, his work does remind me of the pre-raphaelites... very good observation...

Hi Unknown, actually Barry Windsor Smith has cited the Pre-Raphaelites as influences.  I didn't even know who they were until he brought them up.  I see that others here know about them as well, I notice they have become more popular in recent years.

Hi Warlock

Actually, the thread here on the Pre-Raphaelites is the best that I have seen on the net...

It's hard to imagine which movement had the most talented artists - the Renaissance, or the Pre-Raphaelites. Personally, I don't know what anyone sees in modern art or cubism.

I have to agree

Although I see merit in surrealist and pure abstract... much of what passes for art these days seems artless...

The really terrible thing is that so much (in my opinion anyway) junk goes for so much money and is taken so seriously.  Some of it is simply artless crap produced fairly quickly, and yet, it sells for millions. 

What are people thinking?
