Favorite Artist?

Wassily-motherfucking-Kandinsky. (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/kandinsky/)

This (http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/kandinsky/kandinsky.comp-8.jpg) is my favorite piece of his. It's simply marvelous! I know some of you are going to disagree with me about it, but i fucking love this man. I didn't even know i was mimicking his style until just the other day, and that's why i bring him up. He saw then what i see now. He painted music. This man is effin' awe.

Ninj- I am very interested to see your art 5-10 years from now. I hope you really work hard at it because I think you could really do some great things. You have an interesting eye and taste for someone your age

Banksy (http://radio.weblogs.com/0100278/gems/gallery25.htm)

The reason i like this type of art so much is because, I like the simplified values and simple concept. The illegality of it is just something that makes it really badass. :/

[Schimid]

It's simply marvelous!

Hahahah.

[Ninjavenom]

Hahahah.

:posh

And thank you, Doopa. I'm also interested to see what i'm going to be doing a few years from now. I would really like to get myself some paints and canvas and play around with them. I really enjoy doing that sort of stuff, and i think abstraction and expressionism might be the magical bag of painty wonder i have been looking for. :O

PS: Jackson Pollack rules

PPS: I like your link, Hound. Some of those pictures have great flow in the lines. Like magical waves of flowing... line.

Wut? Bakshi did Fritz the Cat?Yeah, Bakshi was known for doing "Adult-oriented Cartoons" and often used rotoscoping (copying real footage with animation) and was the first to put real-life video into his animation and to use it as backgrounds (for lighting effects and so on.

Salvador Dali

[subterfuge]

Bouguereau. He was amazing.

It's true talent, not some stylistic abstract vomit.

[Emu]

Ditto. I love his nudes. They actually look like people. Except for the weird lack of hair and vaginas, of course.

[Bobo Adobo]

I like Renee Magritte. :) My favorite surrealist.

I also love Kandinsky, Cezanne, O'Keefe, and Henry Moore.

[Emu]

[Cap'n Crunch]

Salvador Dali

Didn't he do the melting clocks and that nose thing? :(

[Emu]

[Rez]

hate the melting clocks. cant stand it. my fave painting of his would have to be thepremonition of the civil war.

[Spectre X]

Salvador Dali

Dali is awesome, yeah. I went to an exhibit of his work in Belgium once. It had a bunch of illustrations which he did for Dante's Inferno too.

It was awesome.
