As unrecognized fine arts afficionados, progheads are men of various interests and scholarly cultural habits.
So, I would like to see who your preferred painters/visual artists are, modern or classic, alive or deceased, progressive or conservative, abstract or completely conscious.
Some of mine would be Caravaggio, Raffaello, Leonardo, Hans Memling, Munch, Francis Bacon, Bosch, Picasso, Diego Velázquez, Dalí, Damien Hirst, Bill Viola, Warhol, Leonora Carrington, Yves Tanguy, Kandinsky, Edward Hopper, J. M. William Turner, Rembrandt, van Eyck, Peiter Bruegel the Elder, Magritte, Duchamp, Joan Miro, de Chirico, Beksinski, Max Ernst, Christo, Albrecht Durer, and many more.

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.

I'm not religious but I have an incredible interest in this type of Christian art. This is called Ecce Homo by Antonio Ciseri. So, it's more the subject matter that interests me.

There's something very special about it, some sort of otherworldly sensation that no other movement inflicts that well.

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. Smile

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.
