Favourite Artists (the painty/drawy/sculpurey kind)

I like an odd mix of art and my favourites are Salvador Dali, Arthur Rackham, Louis Wain, Marc Chagall and Jamie Hewlett.

I like Mathew Goddard. I want to buy one of his paintings when I move out of Vegas. I also like Tara McPhearson she is the one who did my Avatar picture. I also like Salvador Dali. But, my fave painting is The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai. For a while before I saw this painting I used to draw waves all of the time.

I'm a bit ecclectic when it comes to art. Some I like for the style, others I look at from a design point of view. I really like the Victorian Classicists, particularly Albert Joseph Moore who creates fantastic folds of fabric in paint. Fredrick Leighton's bronzes and figure paintings are awsome and John Collier's social cartoons in black and white are a bit like the Punch ones. He does a lot of 'pulling teeth' bit morbid but funny. Braque, not for his paintings but his jewellery which he didn't start making till he was well into his 60's. My all time fave artist is Henri Mattisse just because the Fauvist movement was so ahead of it's time. Most of them look like prints in two colours. The artistry is in the simplicity.
Sorry guys.....art lesson over......Kat picked a pet subject of mine....Lol

Salvador Dali is my favorite artist by far.
I love everything hes ever done. I wish i could see his movie he made or visit his museum...his arts addictive to look at. My high school art teacher had this huge art book of him ...and he used to bitch at me all the time for lookin at it and not working! XD

I also like Van Gogh, but mostly as a person in all his beautiful insanity. lol His art is beautiful too.
I get really inspired my Tim Burton too. I love his sketches more then his movies actually ...i wish he did more.
Some of my artwork now is also inspired by japanese manga comics.

Ooo....lucky you. I live in the North of England so London is a bit far away for the big galleries. We have some fantastic smaller collections of artist here. One of the best is a sculpture park at Breccon. It has the majority of the sculptures within the park landscape so as you walk round a tree you find another piece of art. Depending on which way you look at things you really do get a different perspective. Not for the lazy though as the park is the gallery. I like it too because they sell white chocolate with strawberries and chilli in the gift shop..lol Happy
