In my Lifetime? I n Australia? Norman Lindsay, Watercolourist. Charles Blackman, Schoolgirls, Albert Tucker, War Years, and the painter of the Ned Kelly Series. ( His name escapes me, I'm hurting too much to move off this chair to find out, but I knew some of these Artists and many others who were just as good but never made money. Norman Lindsays Watercolours, a selection was sent to America when the Japanese Threatened Australia, by Rose Lindsay his wife and business partner. Unfortunately, moving across America on a Freight Train, the preceding carriage caught fire, resulting in the loss of all the paintings. As these paintings were mainly of unreal naked women, ageless of course, and creatures from a dubious place, not heaven, we thought the Yanks had did a Phar Lap on us. Now that's something you in America did not know, like the burning of the White House. Van Goph without a doubt. Monet. I loved them all. westwind.

what's a "Phar Lap"

Norman Lindsay--------------yeh, wow, love the way he saw women

In no particular order Constable, Dali, Rembrandt, Monet (or was it Manet) and, perhaps No. 1, Turner.

yeh, that works for me
are not all good artist magicians
creating beauty from clay or pigments

Dear sculptor. Phar Lap was born in New Zealand. He became the greatest Australian that ever lived. He went to America on a visit and suffered a terrible death. His name shall live for evermore in New Zealand and Australia. Google Phar Lap Australia up on the Internet. Let me know your feelings. westwind (refer poste 6. ).

ME! well if your going to make me say a REAL artist, it would be(who is he?)... da vinci.

Phar Lap ...... His name shall live for evermore in New Zealand and Australia.

I think Phar Lap is about to be overtaken by the sprinting lady, Black Caviar. Black Caviar 'in very good condition' after arriving in Newmarket PDFPrintE-mail | International
I suppose it depends on how many more races she can win before someone beats her. Still, 21 straight wins is pretty spectacular even if she never wins again.

As for artists. The Ned Kelly series westwind was thinking of was painted by Sidney Nolan. Good work but not among my top three.

Impressionist. Renoir.
Modern Australian. Jeffrey Smart.
Favourite woman painter. Margaret Preston.

Of course, ask me tomorrow and I'd be likely to come up with a completely different list.

I've always enjoyed Rembrandt. Check him out!

There are many kind of Art! You refer to painting? What about Music artist?
Theater or Movie artist? Just kidding.

I think Salvador Dali is the best artist............

My two personal favorites are Egon Schiele & Barbara Hepworth.

Dali is dead
his putrifying flesh has oozed into a dripping pool of reflective genious

Tracy emin... she knows how to let her bed get in a mess and everythink!

gotta smile

my current favorite is Sibelius, especially Karealia and the wood nymph, though ops 43 and 52 do it for me too.

I like a lot of artists but my favorite pieces have to be Van Gogh's Starry Night and Starry Night Over the Rhone.

music:
sibelius
tchaikovski
pink floyd
creedence clearwater revival
the holy modal rounders
and
that crazy chick who did the elvis song and doesn't seem to know what exactly the word "ultimate" means
allanah miles
Black Velvet by Alannah Myles - YouTube
you don't gotta love the person to love the artist
and
whoever did this
Cave to Canvas, Black granite, one of the hardest of stones, found...
