He gave reality extra strength and dynamism by exaggerating the colours and characteristics of his subject. He had great esteem for the richly-textured brushstrokes of Monticelli, the realism of Millet and Daumierand his paintings shoed it. What a wonderfull world he lived in and he shared it beautifuly with us. To bad he never sold any of his works while he was alive.

I'm in love with William Blake. His poetry coupled with his beautiful, beautiful art just continues to intrige me.

I've always like Remedios Varo, a spanish surrealist from the 1950's.

I also like Donald Roller Wilson.

He he. I have some poems with drawings photocopied at home, "The Tyger" on the wall. I love that, poems with drawings by the author.

Tyger tyger, burning bright,
In the forestry of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

I love his lucifer, where he is seen before the perversion. Even when the colors are no longer as sharp as intented, it's magnificent.

Gerhard Richter.

However, Clive Barker still draws the strongest psychological corellation.

<blockquote>â€¢ Clive Barker, "Self Portrait"
â€¢ Clive Barker, "Jesus"
â€¢Â*Clive Barker, "Pie 'oh' Pah" </blockquote>

Even though my rabid Tolkien-fan days ended with the release of Peter Jackson's movies, illustrator Ted Nasmith remains my favourite painter and landscapist.

Another favorite is MC Escher.

Emily Carr is one of my favourites for her modern impressionism. I like the painting of "The Lonely Pine." :-D

**llantas** · July 2nd, 2006, 11:56 PM

Marcus Sanders and Sandrow Birk did a rendition of Dante's Inferno. It is the painting used for the cover of that book that makes Sandrow Birk my favorite artist.

**zinjanthropos** · December 14th, 2007, 06:26 PM

Escher is a great print but my favorite painter is a guy named Jose Reybal. I have 3 of his paintings hanging here. I dunno why but that's part of the allure I guess.

**Bunbury** · December 29th, 2007, 12:24 PM

I wouldnâ€™t necessarily say heâ€™s my favorite artist, but I greatly enjoy Cezanneâ€™s paintings. You can see a progression over time, as he challenges the impressionist ideas and opens the door to various post-impressionist movements.

**sunshinewarrior** · January 2nd, 2008, 10:04 AM

Monet: Nympheas at L'Orangerie. The rest is silence.

**TvEye** · January 2nd, 2008, 10:37 AM

Max Ernst, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris and Andy Warhol.

**CmPunk** · August 4th, 2012, 01:59 AM

I think dali is the best artist...............

**cosmictraveler** · November 25th, 2012, 10:13 AM

Die? Not yet, I owe to much money to do that! LOL! Just been wandering around the Earth for awhile enjoying many different places around this world in which we live. So how are you doing anyway? Still partying and boozing it up with the ladies?
