[Bollo]

i.e painter, sculptor, illustrator, photographer..etc

Or do you enjoy doing any of the above yourself?

[Roy Mars III]

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

[Marc]

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]

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

[Livia]

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

[fruit_cake]

Van Gogh, Monet

[Novo]

[Bollo]

I love Rossetti too and the Pre Raphaelites

[Shaun]

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...)

[SharkAttack]

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

[LaLaLand]

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

[Kazanne]

Claude Monet
Andy Warhole
Vincent Van Gough
Henri Matisse
I was gonna say Rolf Harris,LOL does that count?

[InOne]

David Hockney.

[King Gizzard]

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]

Da Vinci
Michelangelo
Correggio
Raphael
Titian
Turner
Constable
Rodin
Monet
Van Gogh
Renoir
Degas
Escher

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.

[Kizzy]

Alphonse Mucha, anything Art Nouveau...just brilliant.

[Josy]

Chris Leavens
Jonathan Ball
Alberto Cerriteno
Shane Prigmore
Jeff Finley
Anthony Guerra
Barbara Jensen
Suzanne Woolcott

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.
