Post a pic by your favorite artist

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.

I did have before we had kids, though the wife made me put them in the downstairs bathroom…

Do you put the kids in there if they’ve been naughty 😉

M C Escher

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.

Neptunes Horses by Walter Crane

Two of my favourites :

I tried searching for some of my favourites and got a computer virus so given up BUT if you live near Bolton go and see this…

Fakes & Forgeries[/url]

Ernie, that’s the best so far. 🙂

My fave?
L S Lowry. Sorry for not being up to date, cool and trendy….

As an art teacher I must surely be allowed more than one favourite artist?

John Virtue

Paul Klee

John Piper

Samuel Palmer

JMW Turner

Andy Goldsworthy

And two more votes for Rothko and Blake

Big fan of Francis Bacon.

More of his work here http://digitalrightsmanifesto.wordpress.com/category/francis-bacon/

Going here soon http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/ Really looking forward to it

Ernie isn’t that top pic the Matrix code?

sobriety I really like that one 🙂

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 :

Diego Rivera. Pan American Unity.

I wish my front room looked like this.

E-mail me as the kids are free this weekend and thankfully they are not old enough to do straight lines so we can get the authentic look you are after – let me know what colour

Peter Brook.

*is glad Binners front room DOESN’T look like that*

or

Hockney

& Helmut Newton (NSFW if googling)

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:

i love sydams stuff in marvel zombies

It pains me to say I’ve been watching Lloyd Webbers Pre Raphalite series, much of that art is beautiful and he drew me to this

By Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

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

Antony Micallef

Have this on my wall
