(WAY OT) looking for pictures

Recommended Posts

this might sound kinda strange to ask on a football message board but yall were right on the money about wine suggestions... so i got another question:

 

ok, im looking for a black and white picture to go on my wall of my apartment.

 

im looking for a artistic photograph, black and white, tastefull nude/semi nude picture of a woman.

 

sounds strange when i type it...... :)

 

but does anyone have any suggestions?

 

if so, just list the title, and author please. ill find it on the internest somewhere....

 

remember, ART, (you know, if a girl saw it she would say.. "thats a really beutiful picture", not... "why do you have porn on your wall").

 

 

Also: im looking for a small pic, about 1 ft. by 1 ft., or slightly larger.

 

 

thanks.

Try "Woman in Sea Hawaii" by Herb Ritts. I'd use an X-acto and frame and matte the picture so it doesn't have that cheap poster look, tho.

 

Imagining how the front looks is half the enjoyment.

 

I love B&W photography. Amazing how taking something out adds so much.

 

But, I'd implore you to branch out. There's some great works here... Botanical Metamorphics. These were in the library back when I was at UConn, about 5'x3' and they were blown up from photo contact paper. I was taking botany and nutrition classes at the time and it really changes the staid way you look at nature. Really cool stuff, but quite expensive. I like the 'Sugar Peas' the most.

 

On Edit --- whoops, didn't see your size spec. I don't know how much you're going to find that size that aren't dirty pictures....

If your intention is to impress a potential hook up, skip the nude woman theme.

 

Go Avedon or Leibovitz: http://www.nytimes.com/library/photos/leib.../bourgeois.html

 

Or go suggestive in a more subtle way - try O'Keefe's big showy vulva looking flowers.

 

If you're aiming for traditional nude americana like mom used to make, try Hustler's 'Leave it to Beaver' issue.

so is it just a big herpies sore with a frame around it...

 

i dont think that would look good on my wall.

it would be creapy... and definatly end my sex life with any girl who saw that.

Unless your 19 and living with your parents, I'd say skip the cliche', stereotypical male-needs-a-chick-on-the-wall art, but stick with black and white.

 

I recommend a great photograher from Southern Florida named Clyde Butcher. I have one of his signed pieces called Moonrise. Just beautiful work. At least to my eyes.

im not looking for the "girl on teh wall" thing.

 

im more interested in having an "artistic" picture on the wall.

 

and to me, black and white is the best type of picture, so thats what im looking at.

 

also, if its gunna be artistic, but not the older Dali type (since i already have one of those hanging up), then its gunna be of a woman.

 

tasteful, but you have to know its a woman (i dont want there to be some smart ass that says.. that looks like a guy in that picture) ....., using shadows with the light and dark.... (or something like that).

Before moving to Germany, my father-in-law gave my wife and I two Dalis we have in our family room. You most definitely would not know they are Dalis. One is a sketch of Jesus and the other is a half-finished sketch of Don Quixote charging the windmills. But they're signed and athenticated, and I've been wondering what kind of value they have.
