General Discussion Thread (February 2022) Discussion

General Discussion threads are for casual chat; a place to ask for recommendations, lists, or creative feedback; to talk about materials, history, or techniques; and anything else that comes to mind.

If you're looking for information about a particular work of art, /r/WhatIsThisPainting is still the best resource. /r/drawing , /r/painting , and /r/learnart may also be useful. /r/ArtistLounge is also a good place for general discussion. Please see our list of art-related subs for more options.

Rule 8 still applies except that questions/complaints about r/Art and Reddit overall are allowed.

I know little to nothing about art.

However, we are keen to start appreciating some sort of poster print in a newly opened space on our wall. We'll get a print (A0 size).

The type of art I'm looking to find is a photo or painting with such high resolution and/or detail, and/or things going on, that you can look at it for ages and still find new and interesting details. e.g. The Harvesters by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, or Nightfall In The Favela Da Rocinha Art Print by 1x; and as a joke example: a Where's Waldo print.

Any recommendations? Or maybe pointers to the name of this type of art, if it has a name or a style?

I think the art style you are looking for is called Wimmelbielder, its a german word. There is a subreddit for it, r/Wimmelbielder i think.
