Thread: Who are your favorite artists (not musicians)?

  1. #1

    Default Who are your favorite artists (not musicians)?

    Share your favorite sculptor, painter etc

    I was looking at paintings of my fav painter again today. The surrealist Paul Delvaux

    https://www.wikiart.org/en/paul-delvaux (132 artworks)

    I am especially fond of the night time paintings with nude women in ancient cities (Rome/Greece). I love the skeleton paintings too.

    Some of his male figures are based upon characters from Jules Verne novels.


    My second fav painter would be the Italian Giorgio de Chirico. His mannequins with their expressionless faces interest me too

    https://www.wikiart.org/en/giorgio-de-chirico (198 artworks)

    Once again I love the (often abandoned looking) classical cities


    Thirdly, I also like the works of René Magritte.

    Any artists you would like to share?

    Bacon
    Michaelangelo, Raphael and any number of renaissance painters
    Cindy Sherman

    There's a lot more but its difficult to remember right now.

    I used to go to museums a lot but obviously the last 2 years I've avoided it even when it was possible.

    Rene Magritte looks interesting. I've only seen the one with the apple before.

    Doesn’t get better than Caravaggio. He was a degenerate gambler, murderer, and pedophile, but his Baroque paintings are the best, so much so even the Catholic Church gave him a pass for being a despicable human being. I guess you gotta separate the art from the artist
