Somebody teach Grady Zeeman how to paint please.

I always thought they were more anatomical than anything. He seems pretty chilled out from what I've seen in interviews.

Never seen any interview of him but I read a little bit before going to one of his expositions:

The tiny and cramped nature of Bacon's London studio and apartment were subjected to some critical analysis in an article in The Guardian by Aida Edemariam. She claims Bacon being frequently locked screaming for hours in a cupboard as a young boy, by a nanny, formed the basis of his preference for working in cramped conditions and his unwillingness to work on a larger scale. The article states: "That cupboard," Bacon apparently said years later, "was the making of me.

I'm pretty sure he was at least a little bit crazy.

That's what I was going to say.

Anyhoo, Otto Dix was an artist who knew what suffering and seething anger was:

Weird. Anger must be hard to paint, because only the fuuuu.gif looks remotely mad. The other things paint mad moments and people that you or I should be mad at (guernica), but not true anger.

Anger and frustration manifests itself in many varied forms. Screeching, muscle-bunching rage is simply one example.

This is all personal and up to the individual but her art is terrible, almost devoid of talent and incredibly derivative.

This is the worst piece of shit I've ever seen.

Umm... that's 2 different artists.

Edit: And the second one is just some amateur guy. I just found them on a google search.

 

[Witchfinder General]

I looked at the first link. The example posted for the second artist is as bad if not worse.

Chaotic, coarse yellow and red brush strokes for anger. Fluid, spindly blue streaks for sadness.

Brilliant!

Agreed, they are not good, they were just the first relevant google image results.

 

[Phobophile]

Edvard Munch - The Scream

Agony, frustration, whatever.

Then try a little harder next time and procure artworks with a modicum of skill and relevancy rather than vapidly trying to post in a thread for no reason other than boredom.

It's hard finding paintings depicting anger, this is the only one I could think of at this moment.
