I'm not impressed by him. He didn't even paint the stuff, just screen printed it.

Edgar Degas, hands down. His ability to combine realism with a little bit of fantasy is beautiful.

Somehow I'm amused by that! laugh.gif

But then again, the topic didn't ask who was your favorite painter, it said artist. mellow.gif

Well out of those that are very famous, I'd say Salvador Dali and I also really love David LaChappelle's photography.

Posted by: Zatanna Jul 3 2006, 11:48 AM

Marc Chagall. He was amazing. For someone who was a little obsessed with the Bible, his work was transcendent in so many ways.

Posted by: Kristinaa Jul 3 2006, 11:54 AM

My mom.


Well you never said they had to be famous.

Posted by: Acid Bath Slayer Jul 3 2006, 12:27 PM

Despite a minimal interest in painting, I have always had a particular taste for René François Ghislain Magritte. I love me some good surrealism. I always did my art projects on him. Heh heh.



Granted, most of my favorite artists are best known for their work in video (i.e. Fellini, Lynch, Tarantino, etc). This is mainly because my extent of knowledge is far greater in the aspect of film and cinema as opposed to any other medium of art. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy art of all forms. happy.gif

Posted by: sicksadworld Jul 3 2006, 10:29 PM

I love a LOT of artist's work. But if I have to choose one, I would say it's Degas. His paintings are beautiful. Enough said.

Posted by: yanners Jul 3 2006, 11:47 PM

I absolutely love Mucha's works.

Posted by: clarissa Jul 5 2006, 01:24 PM

Edward Hopper and Alphonse Mucha.

Posted by: Doctor Soul Jul 5 2006, 01:28 PM

My favorite artists are Basquiat, Justin Bua, Debra Hurd, and Paul Balmer.
My favorite photographers are Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Yang and Chris Weeks

You're such a groovin' lady. I've always thought that Andy Warhol was ridiculously overrated. And Roy Lichtenstein totally rocks the Casbah. cool.gif

Posted by: StanleyThePanda Jul 13 2006, 12:34 AM

Monet is my favorite.
And Mrs. Brooks. (a friends mom, she is so talented)

Posted by: forza Jul 13 2006, 02:57 AM

Claude Monet, Ansel Adams, Harry Callahan

Posted by: acousticlilly Jul 13 2006, 05:31 PM

andy warhol. he's amazinggggg & very unique

Posted by: inkyoto Jul 18 2006, 09:26 PM

Matisse

Now that you mention is Warhol is not half as bad.

Posted by: baby_in_blue Jul 18 2006, 11:02 PM

diego rivera

Posted by: Uronacid Aug 2 2006, 10:01 AM

One of my favorite artists is the guitar player from the band tool...

the things he creates are just so incredibly imaginable...

Posted by: lykoleon Aug 17 2006, 12:28 AM

I love Alphonse Mucha's art

I just love his art style. The people look realistic, but not really, and they're always in smooth flowy positions. And the borders are always so unique and busy.

Posted by: colleen92 Aug 17 2006, 10:19 AM

i love jean michael basquiat (sp?), andy warhol, and degas.

Posted by: Selv Aug 17 2006, 10:21 AM

It would have to be between... Lostprophets, P!ATD, ro The Academy Is..

Posted by: skt Aug 20 2006, 06:19 PM

Skottie Young
This guy named Cheeks I found on Deviantart a while back. Holy hell for his stuff being so basic (forms and such) he's really got some good stuff.

Photographers? Anyone but me, since apparently I don't have an "eye" for it.
But I think I just try too hard.

Posted by: Azarel Aug 20 2006, 06:56 PM

Brian Andreas, hands down. He's amazing, even if people do find his work creepy/eccentric. I like that it's different.

Posted by: silver rain Aug 21 2006, 04:58 PM

Hmm, I really like Monet's paintings, I love the whole Impressionist style. My favorite photographer is probably Ansel Adams.

Oh my. I can't think of his name. I'm going to have to go search and try finding him.

Posted by: hixfive Oct 1 2006, 07:58 PM

picasso - may not be "beautiful"
but i love the abstract work of his

Posted by: *(Ender)* Oct 29 2006, 05:45 AM

Well there's the classics like da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Michelangelo. More modern artists include: Alphonse Mucha, John Jude Palencar, Louis Royo, Michael Parkes, and David Bowers. Oh...and Disney animators such as Freddie Moore and Marc Davis are my heroes.

Posted by: KissMe2408 Oct 29 2006, 11:54 PM

hm, is it bad that i don't have a favorite artist...

well, i've always admired da vinci and michelangelo....



hm, but usually my favorite artists, the one i keep track on,
are the random talent i find on deviantart.

i know that might sound stupid, but i love seeing other peoples work like that. and some of them are pretty amazing

Posted by: Lost in a Jungle Oct 30 2006, 10:39 AM

I love a lot of artist's work, but one of my favorites is a French painter named Ingres.
I love the way he paints his eyes... They look so expressive.

Posted by: pandamonium Oct 30 2006, 11:00 PM

the guy thats creates optical illusions like the stairs that have no ending.

Posted by: gigiopolis Oct 30 2006, 11:03 PM

Monet and Van Gogh. I love everything and anything Impressionistic, including music (which is why I love Debussy).

You're right, Escher was brilliant.
I love the hands drawing hands that he did.
Amazing work...

Picasso, Van Gogh, Edward Munch, Magritte, Frank Stella, Monet... to name a few.

Posted by: Intercourse. Jan 18 2007, 10:32 PM

My fav artist hands down is Monet! I love his style!

Posted by: mipadi Jun 28 2008, 01:13 PM

My favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh. He had a nice style, but there's a lot of raw emotion in his works. He suffered from depression (a disease with which I'm familiar), and that came out in his work. My favorite of his pieces is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_Eternity%27s_Gate.

Posted by: ojairus Jun 28 2008, 03:12 PM

i like KAWS and hiroshi firojumi or whatever his last name is. as well as futura.
