Favorite Painter/Artist?

Recommended Posts

Van Gogh is my fave, but my most amazing art experience was seeing Picasso's "Guernica" in Madrid when I was there.

It's absolutely breathtaking, and pictures of it can never do it justice. It literally brought me to tears.

If you're ever in Madrid, go see this work! I hesitate to call it a painting, because it's really, a wall-sized mural...It's in the Reina Sophia museum there.
Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Since we all like to kiss, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gustav Klimt. (More: 1 2)

I like the Impressionists but there's something to be said for Klimt's Art Nouveau paintings of women. There most certainly is! :)




I must agree, very nice artwork. I was hoping with this thread to be introduced to different artists.

How about the artist who drew your profile pic? I mean the resemblance is uncanny.;)




Oh, Chris how did you know that's exactly what I look like?;) Very good artwork, don't you think?

MC Escher is probably the one that stands out most in my mind. I'm also a big Ansel Adams fan, even though he's not a "painter" per se, his photography is absolutely breathtaking. Plus I'm a big fan of black & white.

I really like Markus Pierson's sculpture and painting. The coyotes are both whimsical and thought-provoking. For obvious reasons, Prisoner of Love really speaks to me. ;)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned georgia okeefe. You know, she's the one who paints pictures of flowers that look like a woman's...you know.



Her artwork is very good! Breathtaking!

I pesoanlly have two - Dali and Picasso. Now with both I like their later work.




Dude Salvador Dali rocks. try looking at his art fried on acid not that I have ever done that. He must have been on something when he does his paintings. I like the abstract and serialist styles.
