ch19079 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 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.

UConn James Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorCal Aaron Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 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.

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.

For a couple of three hundred bucks, you could get an ethernet-based photo frame. Hang it on the wall, run a network cable to it, load a bunch of online photos of semi-naked chicks into a file on your desktop, and send them to the frame.

OK - I get it - you probably need something much larger. Not sure where you live, but if you have a Hobby Lobby or similar, go and look through the hundreds of prints. They can look really nice with a decent frame. But definitely get something that's the right size for the wall - ask a female friend to help. And Beerball - God'll get you for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also suggest Blue Nude by Picasso, although it's not exactly what your looking for it's similar enough that you might just like it better than the other two.
