It’s a valuable movement for all of us to sit down and try to create a list of our 100 favorite paintings of all time. Naturally, those who are not professionally involved in art history may have a very difficult number. Still, many of the titles we can write down make each of us undoubtedly come up with a mixture of almost universally known and relatively vague. We have come up with paintings that have been recreated in popular culture since birth, along with works that gave us a strong and unexpected impression when we met them in books and galleries. 100 favorite painting list in video format Louisa Liz Bond above is no exception.
You can recognize Bond’s name from her work on her YouTube channel. Mapping the film, many of its videos, are David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, animation, cinematography, the best movies ever, previously featured in open culture. Recently rebranded Tabla’s Housethe channel now makes its aesthetic and intellectual exploration a wide-ranging art, not just film, but art.
And while painting may not be the art form that we spend most of our time these days, it is one of the first art forms that will come to our minds, thanks to its history of around 20,000 years. It’s because from the 20th century, from a relatively narrow but extremely rich slice of its history, from the very 14th century, that bond has made her 100 choices.
Among them are some paintings that longtime open culture readers remember that we previously covered: Botticelli’s The birth of VenusBosch’s Garden of joy on earthMichelangelo’s Sistina Chapel ceiling, Diego Belazuquez Las MeninasFragonard’s swingGoya dogthe manager’s Lunch on the grassSgt. Carnation, Lily, Lily, RoseVan Gogh Starry nightKlimt KissMathis danceMagritte’s LoversDali’s Memory persistencePicasso Guernicawyeth’s Christina’s Worldand Basquiat Untitled. Many of these works and others, as Bond puts it, “construct a journey through a world of high symbolism and religion. Wherever the next major destination of art is everywhere, only human creativity can take us there.
