Favorite Painter?

[noodle]

Mine is Salvador Dali... The art is great and intellegent! I'm not a huge fan of Van Gogh though i live about 5 mins drive away from where he spent his last years and i also done my art project with his style... I'll post a pic up later!

I'm all into Romanticism now cause at History of Art class we're studying Caspar David Friedrich, Delacroix, William Turner, etc. I love how they get you enticed into the painting and you can actually feel all the energy coming from it and be absorved by the atmosphere created in between.

I went to the Dali Museum in Figueres (Catalonia, Sp) and took a guided visit to his home and studio He was nuts, seriously, his house makes about as much sense as his paintings

Actually it's spelt Da Vinci... But he is a very good artist...

I read approximately four books on Da Vinci and fell in love with his artwork...
Though there could be better ones... I like Da Vinci... He's old-school...

It's just impossible to choose just one for me. Here are a few of my favorite works and their artists.

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh is my all time favorite, but it's the only painting of Van Gogh's I like.


Here are a few by Monet

Okay, his paintings have a deeper meaning behind the art itself, it's just that Surrealism isn't my thing and there's no way you can form an interpretation by just taking a look at them. One thing I like though is the melting clocks, the way he totally makes them look so soft:

The Persistence of Memory; Salvador Dalí.



But I'm more of a Baroque-ish type of person ^.^

Of course you can! I don't understand. lol. You would just interpret it in your own way. It might not be the same as what someone else might think, but it's still what you think it means.

Well the sisteen chapel was quite amazing and so was other artists work.I think that some of the best of area was quite well showing throw how the painter was feeling .

Van Gogh for say if you get the chance check out stary stary night by don mclean it show van gogh's art and it explains quite a good view of what he was trying to say.

Rembrandt and several others are great as well i believe that there have been several greats from then to now. Do you all catch what they say through they're work pretty easily .For say what do you think was the best style of art.

Hmm, it's hard to mark out a single painter, but i think i would go with Giovanni Antonio Canal a.k.a. Canaletto. I like his beautiful landscapes, photorealism and the representation of light and shadow he uses.
