Art
RateItAll's art section is a rather broad topic, as it covers everything from artists and artworks to museums and exhibitions, as well as art mediums and supplies. If you're studying art, then share your reviews of paint brushes (is it really worth it to shell out $40 for a brush?) and review the work of your favorite dark visual artist.

Haviv is one of the best of the modern photojournalists, and while his technical and compositional skills do not seem as high as some of the greats of that genre, he has an undisputed ability to capture a story in an image. His work on the Bosnian-Serbian conflict is moving, if not for the faint of heart, and his work on Darfur perhaps even more so.

If he isn't the first photojournalist, he's so close that you couldn't live on the difference. His pictures of the American Civil War are excellent, both in the character studies and in the aftermath views of the battlefield.
Camera and film technology of the time did not allow action shots, but his studies of the grim reality of death on the battlefield. During the Civil War Brady exhibited photographs from the Battle of Antietam in his New York gallery entitled, "The Dead of Antietam." Many of the images in were graphic photographs of corpses which shocked viewers and was the first time most Americans saw the realities of war.
This may be my favorite of his. A study of three captured Confederate soldiers, they appear worried yet proud in defeat.

Savage, unsettling, eerie, disturbing, and thoroughly brilliant. Arbus looked at the world with a sense of the grotesque, even the bizarre, but still managed to convey a kindness and humanity. Arbus is one of my favorite photographers, and I've just changed my profile picture to one of her more famous images.
Here's another one.
