Long hair in art

[monsterna]

Can we get a long hair in art thread going? I tried searching for one, but it's very hard to search by just "art" or "paintings" and finding anything in the search by including "long hair" would obviously never be helpful. :D

My favorite style of art is classical/renaissance, but any kind of art style is fine. Paintings and drawings are preferred over CG, but again, any is fine! I'll start...

Venus d'Urbino by Titian

La Naissance de Venus by Amaury Duval

I wanted to make this thread too!
Try searching Waterhouse--he's done some lovely paintings you can find online.

JohnWilliam Waterhouse:

Windflowers
Marianna in the South
Esther
Undine
A Mermaid
Ophelia
The Soul of the Rose
Miranda - The Tempest
Lady of Shalott

Edmund Blair Leighton - The Accolade

Mary Raphael - Britomart and Amoret

Frederick Sandys - Violet Louisa Ponsonby

Edward Burne-Jones pencil sketch of a lady with braided hair

Jo, la Belle Irlandais by G. Courbet

Frank Dicksee - La Belle dame sans merci

Many of the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood incorporated beautiful hair into their paintings. "Lady Lilith" by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

You might also want to do a google image search on Fanny Cornforth, Jane Morris, Emma, Lady Hamilton, and The Lady of Shalott for more long haired images.

Arthur Rackham also incorporated long hair in his beautiful illustrations.

Thanks! Alphonse Mucha is another great one. Art nouveau.

This is one of the most powerful long-hair artworks I have ever beheld.

[TrudieCat]

This Durer self portrait (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Durer_selfporitrait.jpg) is one of my favorite longhair paintings, although by standards at LHC this might not exactly count as long hair. ;)

I would believe by anyone's standards this would be considered "long hair!" Gorgeous, too!

Dante Rosetti - Lady Lilith

And my personal favorite ( one of my favorite artists) :

John Collier - Lilith

Thanks, sibiryachka, for the link. I love looking at long hair in art..especially Victorian art.

[LoversLullaby]

Definitely looking through this thread at all the paintings posted when I have the time, the few I looked at were stunning.

Neat pics, the artist Waterhouse does beautiful paintings of long-haired ladies.

[CherrySilver]

My absolute favorite (and prized possession) is a blue bronze long hair sculpture is by Klara Sever called "Sultry Awakening". I just *had* to have it!

Another Waterhouse fan. I was lucky enough to be able to go to an exhibition of his art at the Royal Academy in London in 2009 and see some of my favourites for real. I love "Mariana in the South".

I also love fantasy/faery/visionary art and quite of few of that sort of artist sometimes paint long hair, for example Amy Brown and Jessica Galbreth

And then there are the pre-Raphaelites.. :)
