Talk:Oil painting
Might want to mention some famous oil paintings from antiquity to present times; schools such as impressionism or cubism; etc. --Ed Poor
Removed (we're not a dictionary of slang):
- The term is also used as a mild insult, generally towards a woman who has questioned the looks of another woman: "You're no oil painting yourself", implying that the target is not particularly attractive.
I second: needs links to famous oil paintings and critical discussion
I do not have anything approaching knowledge on this subject, so I can't do this. But adding some links to great oil painters and relevant debates and discussions of art on the topic of oil painting would be easy for someone with some knowledge about this. What about a more detailed history of oil painting? --Upmarket 22:08, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thirded - Examples of quality, famous, classical artworks
The current example is neither of good art - not even for a three year world - nor of oil paintings are.
That these anecdotes mascarade as arts is a serious deformity of the post-modern world. It's particularly sad since oil painting has to it's phalanx some of the most known artists and incredible talents through centuries of European art.
Really, couldn't, shouldn't, better examples be provided?
