Who are your favorite painters, progheads? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Hi,

I like too many of them ... but Dali and Klimt are two of my favorites.

But I am also a great lover of Roger Dean, and specially Hipgnosis ... who doesn't get credited enough for some outstanding album covers, though many of us don't think that those fit as a painting ... but it is a "modern painting" in that it uses multi media instead of conventional paints.

But I can tell you one thing ... my favorite book of all is ... JANSEN'S HISTORY OF ART ... and I wish they would bring it up to modern stuff and the multi media stuff ... because things like Hignosis in many ways belong in their book based on so many things they said about the art, before.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

But seriously, There are so many, most of who have been named above.

But I have a childhood friend who lives in Vancouver now is an art graduate.

Here are two of his pieces hanging in my media room.

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Yes, I like the fantasy art of Josephine Wall too, but I didn't think many people here would have heard of her because she doesn't have any album covers to her name.

M. C. Escher

many. I will name but a few: Albrecht Dürer, Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Paul Delvaux, Hieronymus Bosch, Salvador Dalí, William Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, Max Ernst, John Everett Millais, Peter Paul Rubens, Joan Miró, Raphael, Edouard Manet, Paul Klee, Maurits Cornelis Escher, Paul Cézanne, Franz Marc, August Macke, Diego Velásquez, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Pieter Brueghel the Younger (note the difference in spelling) and many more

I like me some Klee, though not traditionally a painter.

My favorite would be a professional paint job on my exterior at a reasonable price.

All of the Pre-Raphaelites, especially John William Waterhouse; Walter Crane; Rosetti; Frederic Leighton; then Kay Neilson; Salvador Dali; Bosch, Bruegel & Botticelli; DaVinci; Monet; Audubon; Beatrix Potter; Arthur Rackham; John Tenniel, Escher...just for a start, lol!

And editing to add Maxfield Parrish, and a couple of more modern people, Daniel Merriam and Kris Kuksi.

An example of Merriam's art:
