My Favourite Artist(s)...

DocLeaf · Jul 14, 2010

Who is your favourite artist? Why do you like their work?

Some of my favourite Artists include Leonardo (Windsor Collection; Horses and Leda, sketches of) for the realism and difficulty involved in such observational drawings,, and Durer the German Master. I also enjoy the more modernist works by Gustave Courbet (Stone-breakers) as a statement against the apparatus. The flora pastiche of William Morris, the Romanticism of the Pre Raphaelites and their movement against modernism,, Deschamps for taking the piss (the Urinal by R. Mutt) and finally the Expressionist works of Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin in Arles, oh and those Fauvists/beasts,, they were also avant-garde

Hariton Pushwagner

"Self portrait"

From the picture novel "Soft City"

"Manhattan"

"Shanti-Devi"

"Oblidor"

I just like it because i see much of the same world as he does i guess, plus he has a crazy life story. The artist himself is as interesting as his art at least.

I'd say M.C. Escher, he has some real trippy art, amazing creations.

Some cool stuff.

I say check out Clarice Cliff Pottery. Very nice stuff and affordable, depending on the peace. Very COLORFUL POTTERY with cool designs. She started you pottery sales during the start of the Depression. She went against the grain and made very happy, colorful, high quality stuff. Check her out!

ALEX GREY!! Pics Below!! also huge Escher and Dali fan!

I like Fred Tomaselli, yea those are real pot leaves: he also places barbiturates, vicodin and many other drugs in his collages, but they're sealed in a hard layer of laquer though so freaks can't get to them.

I like Joan Eardley

And Matisse, Manet, Degas, Bacon, Rodin, Picasso, Caravaggio and Michelangelo Buonarroti...

Apart of classics, I'm mostly interested in street art, and I like the most works of Aleksiei Kislow and two Ukrainians, known as Interesni Kazki. They are making canvases, but mostly they paint huge murals. Their style is surrealistic, it's like Dali's fairy-tale. Impressive.
