There were a lot of great painters, but my most favorite ones are Leonardo Da Vinchi and Salvador Dali.

Agreed, good thread this.

For me, I'm a fan of Rothko (this particular example is in the Tate Modern in London)



and Hopper (my fave being Sun In An Empty Room)



On the other hand, I can't stand much of Turner's work.

Peace.

Agreed because there are so many periods to mix in apples and pears with pineapples and grapefruits

Great topic, though, Dallas.

Being Belgian  and working in Holland, I am not a real fan of the Flemish/Dutch  school anymore because of over-exposure but that type of realism is not what I expect in artistic impression and those religion-imposed themes (although interesting arguments for the atheist I am) booooore me to sleep. Jerome Bosch being the exception because he was fantastic before all Stepehen King's novels were   .

I much prefer from 1850 on.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Im a big fan of the impressionist movement, also surrealism had its good moments. Renoir always comes to mind when thinking of a personal favourite. Theres a local guy who used to have some of his work at my families galery that i loved, it was portraits but they were some of the darkest things id ever seen. Also it may be cliche but I really like Van Gogh. Also Klimt, forgot about him momentarily untill i read over DB's post.
