Favorite Artist?
 

Wassily-motherfucking-Kandinsky.

This 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.

Those are awesome. :eek

good call! i love kandinksky too...

i don't really know who my absolute favorite is, but i do also love gustav klimt and jackson pollack.

i like chuck close... and man ray

old school stuff, I really like whistler

Tom of Finland

These are very beautiful. I wish I could see all the colors he used.

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

Carol Hoorn Fraser

partly because she was my great-aunt though :( we have the original painting of this :x

Banksy

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. :/

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.

this is who i like
 

a guy named boris :) >: :/ :(

Ralph Bakshi is my favorite artist. www.ralphbakshi.com

Max Earnst.

Wut? Bakshi did Fritz the Cat?

ernst, klimt, kandinski, yes.
also paul klee, jerome bosch, goya, kokoschka ... and plenty of others.

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.

Mignola.

AO Spare.

i'm gonna be a fag and say Goya circa 1792-onward

chew on that, bitches.

Salvador Dali

Bouguereau. He was amazing.

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

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

I like Renee Magritte. :) My favorite surrealist.

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

I like what my girlfriend draws :bias :(
