Who's your favorite painter?

[asr]

I like the Pop Art genre of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichenstien.
Which genre and artists do you guys like?

 

[impy13]

Jackson Pollock FTW!

 

[Westport]

Monet

 

[VintagePunk]

Van Gogh. His colours and textures appeal to me.

 

[tiny dancer]

Monet also.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Georgia O'Keeffe. She was also my grandmother's favorite painter, so I feel like I'm sharing something with her when I look at O'Keeffe's paintings. The display at the Art Institute in Chicago is especially mind-blowing.

I have this hanging in my living room:

and I have this one hanging in my bedroom:

 

[Saracene]

French Impressionists: Renoir, Monet, Degas, etc.

Boticelli

Peter Paul Rubens - I just love the colours and sensuality and the glorious baroque over-the-topness of his paintings

Edvard Munch - I think his painting of Madonna is one of the most disturbing and powerful artworks I've seen

Wassily Kandinsky - most of the abstract art leaves me cold, but I love his work

 

[LMP]

Jackson Pollack and Salvador Dali. I'm surprised no one's mentioned Dali yet either.

Bansky is great.

Someone around here use to have a Bansky painting as there avatar...I can't remember who right now.

 

[yolland]

^ Sparkysgrrrl did/does...hasn't been around in awhile though.

I guess my favorite painter would be either Rothko, Chagall or Van Gogh...don't think I could decide between the three though, and at any given time I might be more interested in looking at some other painter's work.

 

[JCOSTER]

Alfred Gockel

Norman Rockwell

 

[angelordevil]

Monet

Monet is incredible

Starry Night is maybe my favourite of his.

I'm also a big fan of Canadian realist Ken Danby...he creates art that you can almost step into

His best-known work, "At The Crease." When I was a kid, I found this so haunting. I still do, but it's now moved from haunting to intriguing. I wonder about what you can't see...the other players on the ice, and so on.

The father of one of my best friends is in one of Rockwell's lesser-known paintings, called "The Right to Know." They lived a few towns over from Stockbridge, MA, where Rockwell lived. I can't remember how he ended up in the painting--I think he may have been doing some work on Rockwell's house.

He's in the back row, directly above and one person over from the guy in the tan sportcoat in the front row. He sort of looks like a young Jack Nicholson.

My friend has a postcard of the painting, but it's one of the few that wasn't printed and mass-marketed. I've been trying to find a print for him for years, but I don't think one exists.

I'm not a huge Rockwell fan, but I've been to his museum in Stockbridge, and it's a nice way to spend an afternoon.

 

[Liesje]

I'm not nearly as into paintings as I am photography and sculpture, but I love...

One of my favorite children's authors, Patricia Polacco (met her when I was little)

Norman Rockwell

Not painters, but also...

Escher

Another favorite children's author, Chris Van Allsburg

My grandmother! Her work is represented in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; The National Museum of Women in the Arts, in Washington DC and the Columbus Museum of Fine Arts. She's studied art in Paris and Japan. I wish I had some digital pictures to share with you guys...
