Van Goth.

 

I think my superior grammar skills merit my keeping my thread.

 

i'm really into the gothic scene too

 

Georgia O'Keefe

 

woah, i've never checked out any of her paintings

but looking now, they're quite brilliant

 

I also like Kandinsky. He is my second favourite. He has a way with paints. It is not always a picture but is a vision of colour.

 

yes!

kandinsky is my fave!!!

 

i'm fond of the pre-raphaelite artists, but i really dig some Mucha!

Bosch is pretty psychedelic, along with Dali and Munsch

i also find Beardsley's work to be quite intricate and compelling with his graphic style - just look at "salome" - gorgeous!

 

I either like Monet or a 15th century Italian artist called Carravagio; he paints religious subjects in high lights and low darks.
Always has a sense of drama to his paintings and vivid contrast in tones.
:jester:

 

hm..
well,
here are a few of mine:
-Edward Kienholz
-Robert Rauchenbergh
-Francis Bacon
-Gottfried Helnwein
-Frida Kahlo
-Tracy Emin
-Mike Kelly
-joseph Beuys
-Marc Chagall
-Julian Schnabel
-anselm Kiefer
-gerard Richter
- ...

 

So many!

Claude Monet
Leonardo Da Vinci is a GENIUS!
Van Gogh
Edgar Degas
Andy Warhol

 

Takashi Murakami is my favourite recent and living artist
Laurie anderson I consider to be the height of living genius in art
Dali the height of all genius in art
David Hockney (as a student) for his portraits and drawing skills
David Hockney (after his college life) acryllic painter of brilliance
Andy Warhol the best self publicist
Caravaggio the most beautiful paintings
Turner most innovative landscapes
Constable absolute colourist
Degas - politically and socialy adept commentator
The list could go on and on

 

Grace slick.

 

There are very few I don't like.

But one that none of you have mentioned is Chagall. His paintings have a childlike wonder and happiness about them.

 

Carol Ann (Rouse) Gallegos, is by far the best contempory artist

 

Take a glance at my avatar, and you'll know who my favorite artist is...if not, kill yourself, because you know nothing about art.

 

hey gardener..

I did mention chagall...look at my list dude.

 

I like Manet's portrait of a prostitute. I like most of Jean Basquiat and some of the urban impressionistic scenes prior to WWII. Since you haven't asked me why, I won't say it...
