Slight variation on the other thread, but who is your favorite artist (painter etc) and please post a picture by them.
HR Giger for me..

loddrik - While I appreciate that HR Geiger was a talented artist, I can't comprehend why anyone would want to hang it on a wall at home. Do you have it up on your walls at home? I wish my front room looked like this.

Always drawing pictures where you couldn't see their faces Blake was, perhaps he couldn't draw faces very well.

Gentileschi did it better at iDave 🙂 In my eyes Caravaggio was truely innovative, good choice.

Looks like it don't it ? .....it's the Pine Forest by Gustav Klimt - and I want to be there ! I've got it up my wall (a reproduction)
I forgot about Lowery ......not just his people, but also his unique dogs.
I should have also mentioned Monet and Renoir :

Moebius, . . thought it was.
Well as Escher's been done already I've always had a soft spot for:

On the other hand I never really got impressionist painting until I saw one in real life. Photos of them really don't do the textures they have justice, I reckon.
Or just to emphasise how low-brow I am, how about:

Also this simple portrait, been facinated by T E Lawrence for years.

Just beautiful, used to like going to Tate Britain to look at it during my lunch break especially when I was feeling a bit miserable working away from home all week. Currently on display in the V&A.
I'm not that cultured, so Josh Kirby is my limit!
