You guys got a favorite artist?
I love John Constables work,cant think of any better really other than a few of the Dutch masters.
Modern I like some of Brett Whitleys but hes dead and I cant afford one of them either :-(
two people i know have a Dali each ,both very close friends. Two work acquaintances one has a a Da Vinci which Ive held and studied and the other a Picasso I touched (naughty me).

Re: You guys got a favorite artist?
I fucking love Surrealism. In fact, I like it so much that it makes me want to try my hand at creating some art.
The Vancouver Art Gallery just hosted the most amazing exhibition. I guess if I had to pick a favorite artist out of the bunch I saw it would probably, maybe be Andre Breton? Possibly... I dunno.
Re: You guys got a favorite artist?
Would someone move this crap to the Culture Board? :cool:
Caravaggio! :D
Re: You guys got a favorite artist?
Diego Rivera & Rufino Tamayo (I often have lunch at the Tamayo restaurant in East LA)
Re: You guys got a favorite artist?
I like Warhol the artist more than the art itself, but fascinating at times nonetheless. I actually like Pollock a lot, but Van Gogh is perhaps one of my favourite.
I like lots of different artists, but my main criticism of art in general is that I think art criticism is often a lot of twaddle. Critics exist to keep themselves employed and to mystify a product, but at the end of the day it's just a dude going at it with a paintbrush. It is what is is most of the time. A flower is indeed just a flower. I don't need an article telling me so much more that the artist most likely never even intended to say. Let people make up their own minds and just kill yerselves yer damn critics!

But Miles they are putting their work out in the public domain inviting criticism from some knobhead with nothing better to do with his time ;D
Im with Doot. Im sure having a Bob Ross hanging in your house would make someone a better person. Guys brilliant, not just for what he puts on canvass.
