Do you have a favourite artist?
 
i.e painter, sculptor, illustrator, photographer..etc

Or do you enjoy doing any of the above yourself?

Roy Mars III 24-02-2012 03:25 PM

my favorite artist is probably salvador dali, as unoriginal as that sounds.

Marc 24-02-2012 03:27 PM

Nahh I don't appricate art very much, especially abstract stuff. I don't 'get it' but from what I had to study at school, Dali was pretty cool.

Roy Mars III 24-02-2012 03:32 PM

I love art, wanted to be an art history major when i started college.

Livia 24-02-2012 03:33 PM

Dante Gabriel Rossetti and MC Escher are two of my favourites.

I love Rossetti too and the Pre Raphaelites

Shaun 24-02-2012 03:41 PM

I don't really have a favourite artist... I know next to little art really. I like some Andy Warhol stuff (the pop culture side of things, I'm not really blown away by the Campbell's painting...)

..not really, I quite like Modigliani's elongated figures and I love Henry Moore's scupltures....I agree with Andy Warhol's 'Art is whatever sells'...I may like one piece by an artist but not all of it

SharkAttack 24-02-2012 03:58 PM

Second on Escher(littered the walls of my dorm in college) and Van Gogh and Monet. I wish I knew more about art.

LaLaLand 24-02-2012 04:05 PM

Warhol, Escher, Carpanini, Banksy, Tom Deininger, David Hockney (favourite!) & Sarah Larnach.

Anything really illustrative, 'out there', colourful and "real".

I have a Hockney poster on my wall for the touring exhibition 1979 (prints 1954-77) and also a copy of Warhols Liz Taylor. My uncle was an artist from the 70's so I inherited all of his memorbilia / old prints /photos etc, I love them

David Hockney.

King Gizzard 24-02-2012 04:33 PM

I've never really gotten 'art'

(that's probably the most cliche sentence ever)

I like graffiti though, when it's inventive now all that chavvy gangster tagging stuff

Angus 24-02-2012 04:34 PM

Da Vinci
Michelangelo
Correggio
Raphael
Titian

I guess you could say I have an eclectic approach to art. I enjoy and appreciate many different styles. At the moment my favourite is probably Escher.

I kind of shy away from people who "know" art because they tend to suffer from it rather than enjoy it. Same with litereature. I love it, but I wouldn't want to deconstruct a novel the way some people like to. It's a personal thing, I think. I don't have an academic knowledge of art, but it's all about what appeals to you.

One of the most breathtaking paintings I've ever seen is Delaroche's The Execution of Lady Jane Grey in the National Gallery. You don't get the impact of it unless you're standing in front of it because it's such a massive work. The way he's painted the fabric of her dress is just impossible.
