I'm so low-brow when it comes to art. I love some French painter whose name starts with a 'B.' Ends in "ouis" or something, I think. If anyone knows who I'm talking about and could tell me, I'd love them forever.

[uselesstomato]

i can never remember names...old school or new

but i do know i love monet

[wanker]

I love all French Impressionism, Francis Bacon, William Blake, Mondrian, Picasso, Kadinsky, Rembrandt, Constable and Van Gogh. Van Gogh is my absolute favourite.

[Jumpman]

I love Goya, Archimboldo, Titian, and I want to say Brughel for the older dudes.

More Modern: Georgia O'Keefe's watercolor work is incredible, I also like Van Gogh and Matisse.

Contemporary: Not a clue

I don't get Mark Rothko. There I said it.

[rocketman70]

I love all French Impressionism, Francis Bacon, William Blake, Mondrian, Picasso, Kadinsky, Rembrandt, Constable and Van Gogh. Van Gogh is my absolute favourite.


I love French Impressionism too.

[gwar469]

I loves me some Dali. It gets really old when I have to explain to people that he's more than just melting clocks.

I'm also partial to Degas (not read de-gas, although I'm partial to that, too). :p

[agate0ph0be]

i love art.

i can't remember names either, unless they're on my deviant watch.

[The Stunt Cock]

Ten point deduction for use of the letter 'u' by a mid-western American when spelling the word "favorite". :p

[agate0ph0be]

f u.

favourite is way prettier than favorite. favorite looks like "flavorite" and i don't want to think about canned/frozen peas.




<edit>

i'm not an american, btw. i quit america this week when i found out how many states are seriously considering banning flavored cigarettes based on a poll.
</edit>

[eighty]

I love pop art and modern graffiti artists who (and this is important, now) are actually good at it. They come up with fantastic characters, and my brain melts when i try to figure out how they do those huge complicated tags in like, one night.

[JSpaceman]

f u.

favourite is way prettier than favorite.
Way true. And Frenchy only encourages it more. I mean... moure.

[The Stunt Cock]

Then you should think of flavorite ice cream.

[chicodaman]

I <3 Monet. This is an easy one for me.

[Jumpman]

Oh Yeah, I also love the three major Mexican muralists

Rivera, Siquieros, Orozco

Cool stuff and large too.

okay, now my man fred tomaselli, american, b. 1956.

http://www.recirca.com/reviews/FredTomaselli/images/Expecting-to-Fl%5B2%5D.jpg

FRED TOMASELLI assembles hybrid pictures out of various materials, including paint, pills, hallucinogenic plants, and photo collage. Encapsulated in tamperproof resin, these arraigned substances alter perception by traveling to the brain through the act of seeing. His work is inspired by the ideal that painting is both a mirror on the world and a window to another reality. His art blurs the distinction between the real and the artificial and is shaped by the chemical sublime. Fred's work has been seen at numerous institutions around the world including a recent survey show at the Palm Beach ICA which then traveled to Site Santa Fe. He had a recent solo show at the Whitney Museum at Philip Morris, New York which traveled to the Indianapolis Art Museum. His work has been included in the Corcoran, Lyon, Berlin and Liverpool Biennials. He's also participated in numerous museum group shows such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Brooklyn Museum and the Whitney Museum. He's had solo gallery shows at Jack Tilton Gallery, New York; Christopher Grimes Gallery, Los Angeles; Galleri Anne de Villepiox, Paris; Gallerie Gebaure, Berlin; and White Cube, London. He is represented by the James Cohan Galley, New York where his next solo show will open in May.

[ZLoveSarah]

I don't get Mark Rothko. There I said it.

hehe The first time I saw a Rothko I was absolutely speechless. ... And then the friend I was with at the time blurted out "I could have done THAT."


My favorite painting of all time? Van Eyck's http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/WebMedia/Images/22/NG222/eNG222.jpg

I like Goya & I'll second whoever gave the nod to Titian.

Even though I'm a math geek, I loathe Escher's works.

Painting (I suppose with all art) is such a personal feeling... I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to why any of us like any particular work. For me I like what I like because of the amazing feeling that hits me when I see something. I think all that matters is how something makes you feel.

[rcc94]

My current favorite is Raoul Dufy
http://cincinnatiartmuseum.org/img/provenance/large/1986.1282_CAM.jpg
(the one at Cincinnati Art Museum)

A new find is Wolf Kahn
http://magart.rochester.edu/images/A1.85.59.jpg


And, Monet, Matisse, Picasso, Van Gogh, ...

i want this painting. relatable.

[RedRigmaJacket]

why can't i suck it up and really learn how to post pics? why?

but i'm a huge fan of modern, impressionist, and pop art:
george segal
frank stella
mark rothko
jackson pollock
edward hopper
monet
manet
van gogh
picasso
degas
gauguin

[postfeminist]

i'm a joan miro junkie.

and mondrian.

[Sushi]

I love all the old Italian masters--Michelangelo, DaVinci. Those are almost givens, though--some of their work is so astoundingly beautiful that it's almost impossible not to be moved by it. Same with a lot of the French Impressionists--there's so much beauty and grace there.

Individual artists I love:
Van Gogh
Paul Gauguin
Marc Chagall
Edward Hopper

[The Hegemo]

My knowledge of art and art history is still pretty limited, but I've been trying to learn more, going to museums...there are some pretty cool ones in this thread I'd never heard of before.

But for what it's worth, some artists I like:

Andy Warhol
Diego Rivera
Max Ernst
Frida Kahlo
Pablo Picasso

I also really like the Canadian "Group of Seven":

http://www.tomthomson.org/images/collections/974005.jpg
Lawren S. Harris, "Above Lake Superior"

http://www.tomthomson.org/images/collections/974010.jpg
A.Y. Jackson, "Edge of the Bush"

[REMgirl]

I love the Impressionists. Monet, Seurat, Renoir. But I also loved the Hudson River School and their breathtaking landscapes. And Grant Wood and Georgia O'Keefe. Mmmm!

[JesusPresley]

I loves me some Dali. It gets really old when I have to explain to people that he's more than just melting clocks.


Amen ! Dali has been my fave since I discovered him in middle school, but I've since learned there were some other great Surrealist like Max Ernst, Man Ray, Joan Miro & Jean Magritte. Alot of Art snobs act like if you say you like Dali, then you are uneducated and just know Dali because of his popularity.

One of the greatest days of my life was going to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. I was completely in awe ! Any fan of art should definetly schedule a stop there if they're going to Florida.

As for the Impressionists, I've never really cared for impressionism. Don't get me wrong, I respect it and realize the importance of the movement, and there are some isolated works that I do like, but on the whole I'm just not a fan of it.

[Sovrana]

I've never been a fan of Impressionism either. I have always viewed it as mere calendar art and not much more. However, every time I cover Monet and the Impressionists in my art history class, I come away with a strong sense of awe over what these artists accomplished. So for me, it is not the impressioned look that appeals to me, but the strive for something artistically new that still celebrates art for the sake of art that I appreciate more.


I have a number of favorite artists but my favorite painter is probably Caravaggio.

[redmeg8]

Ten point deduction for use of the letter 'u' by a mid-western American when spelling the word "favorite". :pHey! I lived in England a little bit and it stuck. What can I say?? :p

same here. too much pastel and soft focus for me and over-reproduced.

but i like the fact that they were radicals in their day and caused a big stir. funny that they're so respectable now.

i have no time for people who think they can paint a rothko, and think that it's all a scam. you either are open to it or forget it, you can go look at prints of dogs and horses.

i love van eyck, who must have been OC. this painting is a marvel.

i love velasquez' royalty portraits. the costumes are really over-the-top.

yeah, i don't care what anything means. i just like it if it connects. something either makes me stop, look, and react or start musing, or i just keep walking.

[bjk15]

huh, yeah, i didn't even notice this was a forum until right now...

the classics (to me)
ansel adams
monet
van gogh

others
jerry uelsmann
kerik kouklis
kerri kohane okay, thats my younger sister, but she's the bomb
umm... does hideo minaba count?

basically, although nature is easy to love, i absolutely am a sucker for water themed art, sucker i say.

more to come...

plus i really like this one by Katsushika Hokusai

Obvious choices, but,

Cezanne
The Rousseau's

and van Gogh, because the guy was as crazy as I am, drawing the line at the cousin thing.

ahhh yes, the wonderful style of kerri kohane ok, yes again, this is just my sister, but seriously she painted her house and does all of this other stuff, but she doesn't get a 'permanent' job or go to school, but she is married to an engineer...
