Im just curious who everyone's favorite artist is

For me its a tie between MC Escher, Dali, and Picasso

Im a nerd when it comes to melting clocks, geometry and cubism

I don't really have a distinct favorite artist, howveer i love Pagen art of the 18th century, especially during the Medici period (Italy). To bad this crazey prist named i think ts spelt Savoranola created 'the Bonfire of the Vantiies' destroying some of the beautiful works of art that we do not have today :( One of my favourite peices of art is 'The Birth of Venus' ^-^

i do not have a favourite artist, apart from manga and anime ones. I just dont get that abstract art stuff. I once studied art at school in a hope of one day becoming an animator and drawing my fav anime characters for a living, but the course was so full of that abstract art garbage, plus the teacher was rather stuck up and pompous. It was a real turn off for me.

has always been twords the top of my list

LOL Greg Horn! a comic book artist! i thought he is some renaissance artist until i click on the link! LOL
Nice one Coolcole999! i can see why you like his art! ^^

Is it because it is very suggestive art? You're such guys!!

Actually the art is very good, when i first clicked the link and saw that angelic blond in golden armor, i was like 'I wonder who modeled for his book?' and then I looked more closely and her body and was like 'geesh that is realistic' her face has so much detail! unless you look closely, she looks fairly real ^-^

I really like western art, but i prefer Medici period art ^-^

yeah is interpretation of Serra Angel was the first thing of his I ever sow, got hooked

ah yes very nice indeed.

Those of you unfamiliar with MC Escher work

Luis Ruyo is an incredible artist. Definitely worth checking out. Same with H.R. Giger if you like weird stuff.

For my money though, I love the art of Masumune Shirow. One of the best artists alive right now if you ask me. Fujishima-sama is also a wonderful artist... The covers to the AMG manga volumes are breathtaking.

i will always prefer manga art to the western comics art, it's just my style, i remember the very first Gundam manga issue i got when i was just a teeny tiny kid, couldnt understand the words to read it yet though! ^^' i just got it for the pictures!

Diazo, now that you mentioned it and the link, i remember M.C. Escher was very good in drawing "impossible pictures" ones that play about with the dimensions, theyre very neat!

^^ i really like Degas! :E i love his way of painting, and his ballet dancers are so pretty! ^^

iv'e come to question 'art' a bit. i guess i'm not all too big a fan of modern art. i went to the museum of modern art a while ago and some of the stuff were like... two big blue canvases on the wall and a blank white canvas on the floor in between them... or junk just randomly stuck together, or one word written on a canvas...

of course i do like art!!! monet and picasso and... well just about everything! it's all beautiful and colorful and creative. i guess i like emotions the best. which means i really like photography. emotions and nature!!! yay trees!!!

Some teachers over here doesnt like anime "Art"...

They say it's not art and shouldnt be viewed as art....

But animating is a pretty hard course....
Imagine when you have to draw the same person on every sheet of paper just to make 30 sec scene..... ^_^ tough work

i dont like abstract art at all, so called art enthusiasts that see a big blob of red paint with smudges all over it and say it depicts a mans life struggles and all that garbage should have their head examined! LOL

abstract art is fun. does hitting someone round the head with a malet substitute as anger in abstract art? (yes i'm being sarcastic)

my fav artists when i was at school was probably dali and escher as well. also that dude who draws by doing lots of little dots, i forget what his name was
