Since I had to study him for an Academic Decatholon and have seen all of his works, my favorite artist is Claude Monet, his art was amazing for his time and he was very skilled on the images he painted.

Claude Monet is a really interesting painter, his artworks look terrible close up but then you take a few steps back and they look amazing. But he isn't my favourite.

I'd probably say a manga or anime artist or something. Can't single one out though...

I'm impressed that Warhol and Monet have already been mentioned. They're some of my favorites. I like Group Of Seven, Emily Carr, and Van Gogh.

These are some of my favorite artists from the present-day:

I admire Vincent Van Gogh's style. His paintings are so good¬_¬

My favorite painting is this: (I know it's funny, but it gives a good lesson to smokers,lol)

Mine would probably have to be Francisco Goya, mostly because of this:



If your artistic tastes are dark like mine, looking into his stuff might be worthwhile.

I absolutely LOVE and ADORE britney spears. Despite all the media rumors about her...she's a sweetheart and more talented than the people who talk bad about her. I liked her from her start with the Baby hit me one more Time album.

YourMajestyKen : they mean artist's for art. not music.

my favorite artist is M.C. etcher, im a fan of the illusionist and mind blowing artwork that causes me to thing (not about meaning necessarily but more about continuity), also can someone let me know of other artists like him im not exactly an art student.

also good luck with the academic decathlon, i was in it last year for my school for the first time, we came in second

Rob Zombie. I've seen him in concert and absolutely love him. He puts on a pretty amazing concert and his songs are pretty evil.

Wow, does no one actually bother to read the thread?

My favorite, other than the ones mentioned here, is Otto Dix. I find it interesting to see how WWI affected his paintings and the views of people in Weimar Germany.

ME. Well, I do like my art but Salvador Dali, Vincent Van Gogh, Diego Velázquez, and many more that I can't remember are definitely artists who I respect.

I really appreciate some of Marilyn Manson's paintings.
I actually do a little bit of surreal watercolor painting myself, but it certainly isn't on the level of Goya, Van Gogh or Monet.

I normally hate modern art, but I really like Salvador Dali.

I know a lot of people somehow get them confused, but I like both Monet's and Manet's work. I saw some of their stuff in Paris, and appreciate them even more. I think I like Manet's early impressionism more, because it still employs a lot of classical styles and conventions while still breaking away enough to be beautiful.

Wow, no ones said Michelangelo? Alright then I will: Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel baby! And the sculptures are awesome too.

Also I dislike Van Gogh because I tend to like art that I can't do with my eyes closed, but whatever... Anyway, for those that do like Van Gogh, right on. I just feel as if the only reason he's famous is because he's dead, not a good artist.
