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
