Cool Masculine Art
OsricPearl Sun 26 Apr - 20:12
OK, Enough pretty bows and flowers! Now, it's time for manly man stuff...
Which I think would be, battles, buildings, and retrospection.
Same rules as before, any painting art style as long as it's not post-modern, cartoons/illustrations, or photography. I would prefer that most of the entries be realistic, with little fantasy/sci-fi elements (but some of it is ok).
The Battle of Anghaiari, the lost painting by Leonardo Da Vinci

We already have a Paintings of Battles thread, but I think we can still do this one.

True, but when I think of masculine art, battles are only a small part of it. I think of introspection, buildings and architecture. Maybe ships, exploration, etc.

This is a painting that I have admired many times. It hangs above the checkout desk at a local library. It is by the artist Sanford Low, depicting the men who's ingenuity and hard work industrialized the city. The painting was done in the 1930's and I think it has an Art Deco feel to it.
I am not sure if this is the style that you have in mind.
I was googling masculine art, looking for something that caught my eye and...lol a lot of homo erotic images popped up!

^ That is very nice! I think that is something that I had in mind. I also think that abstract ideas and such can fit. Like this Dali:
The Discovery of America
Or men at work/play:
From Wiki;
L'Hombre (1887), a painting by Malthe Odin Engelstedt. The player in the center is Rasmus Malling-Hansen, Danish inventor of the typewriter.

Maybe women have a broader notion of masculinity than men themselves do.
I've never been much interested in civilian vehicles, but I like these two steam trains - the Flying Scotsman and the Mallard (which actually looked quite futuristic):
Mike Jeffries
Terence Cuneo

I don't know the title of this one (by Jens Kuczwara) but it looks like a medieval style Darth Vader:

Two different works of art depicting Saint George slaying the dragon.
The first one is in the style of a Russian icon.
And the second one is of stained glass that I imagine is very stunning when seen in person. It is found in St. George’s Hall, Liverpool.

Happy, lucky Chinese year of the Dragon

The dragon usually looks pathetically small in the old St.George paintings, but in that top picture it's due to an artistic use of two perspectives.
