He talks about emulating Orientalism and historical painting but in histories that never existed. He also has a thing, especially notable in Expedition, for natural history and those grand old images of dinosaurs and such you used to find in books as a kid.

that pretty much sounds like fantastical realism to me in all but the name proper. oh well, it doesn't really matter how he calls it, it's still great.
I love Barlowe's imagination more than his actual art. Beksinski is just on a whole 'nother plane from Barlowe in my opinion, mechanically speaking
Yeah I can agree with this.
But then again Beksinski is on a whole other plane by comparison to almost any contemporary artist, even if only in terms of practical technique.

Art doesn't have to look like a metal album cover!
Born in Bad Lauterburg in 1880, Walter Schnackenberg found his vocation as a draughtsman and painter while still very young. At 19 he went to Munich, where he at first attended Heinrich Knirr's painting school before going on directly, like so many of his contemporaries, to study at the Franz von Stuck Academy. Drawing is Schnackenberg's strong point. His lively imagination made him particularly good at caricature. He drew for the celebrated magazines 'Jugend' and 'Simplizissimus'. His themes were theatre and the comic muse. Travelling extensively, Schnackenberg often went to Paris, where he was especially interested in the work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. As a print-maker, Schnackenberg devoted himself mainly to poster art and his most mature work is in this genre. He was also well-known as a designer of stage scenery and costumes. With his evident preference for frivolous ladies, he was highly fashionable in his day. Schnackenberg does not have the acutely critical approach of a Grosz or a Hubbuch. Instead, his works resemble those of Jeanne Mammen, who devoted herself to portraying pert Berlin girls. During the late phase of his career, Schnackenberg introduced surreal elements into his work. People with bestial, mask-like faces were intended to symbolize the unsatisfied lusts and addictions of the petty bourgeois. Schnackenberg spent his last years in Rosenheim and died there in 1961.
Of course, it's totally fine when it does look like a metal cover. Ivan Albright is one of my favourite artists.

that's kind of belitteling and hurtful
I don't like these things because they're EXTREME AND DARK AND FULL OF PAIN but because they invoke some pretty powerful emotions in me

Man, I'm just joking, Indie. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, and if you felt I was implying with serious and genuine (not joking) intent that the previously posted works aren't great and powerful art, I apologize.
Serious talk: I think that a lot of the previously posted works do convey or address issues of darkness, pain, decay, fear and/or alien/Otherness, and in that respect they have elements in common with certain genres of music, including industrial metal and death metal, whether or not you hold that music to be equally meaningful and artistic or not.

but I can put a wrench in a frame and call it abstract art
every damn time someone talks about modern art they bring up this argument
the dumbest argument in the world
modern art is now post-modern art and minimalism has been around for a century but also thanks for the insight good post!
I'm sorry for being rude, I should not have been so snippy
I was still upset from earlier today, when I heard someone completely dismiss a really great museum because she saw one piece of art there that she didn't like
they are legitimately a crazy person
Yeah, that's way crazier than coming in here and barfing about entire artistic movements while mixing up abstract and readymade...

Aww jeahhh, I love Sargent. Madame X is my favorite painting, and the story behind it is interesting too. Neat anecdote; my dressmaker also makes costume dresses, so she has picture catalogs of period dresses. Some of them are pictures of actual dresses or vintage fashion plates. Some of them are from paintings Portrait of Madame X was in the picture catalog, she could have made it . . .

the one with the super realistic paintings of hell and obsidian cats and such
I tried GISing some terms but came up blank
Definitely could have been him, or I could have been talking about Wayne Barlowe.

ah, Barlowe's the one.
can his style be considered a sort of fantastical realism as well, or is there a more specific definition for what he painted?
