DB: Ummm...could we at least discuss different periods separately? How does one equate Memling with Da Vinci with Sisley with Seurat with Braque with Pollok? Peace. |

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. |

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 |

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.

I did my dissertation on Picasso, still the main man for me, and spent a lot of time studying 20th century modern art. For all his skill as a draughtsman, Dali is massively over rated. In recent years I have come to appreciate the North European Renaissance painters, in particular Bosch, Breughel and Durer. Incidentally Reed, if you're ever in London check out the Rothko room in the Tate Modern. Those colour field paintings may not look like much on a computer screen, but to see them as they were intended (and they're f***ing YOWGE) is quite a different matter.

I don't think Dali was overrated, but Max Ernst was definitely UNDERRATED. Strange, seeing he entered a competition whereby artists had to depict the Temptation of St Anthony...Dali entered too, but Ernst won. Tell you anything?
I'm also a fan of Romantic painters: John Martin & Eugene Delacroix!  ------------- And Jesus said unto John, "come forth and receive eternal life..." Unfortunately, John came fifth and was stuck with a toaster. |

As an artist myself I love most artists as I repsect what they try to communicate or do through whatever way they feel is appropiate or how they try to master and perfect their style . All movements interest me, however a few of my personal faves are : Salvador Dali, Hopper, Bosch, Tamara de Lempica, El Greco, Munch, Vermeer......the wonders and beatuy of art goes beyond words... |

Cluster One: You jest, of course, re whether any of these painters are "prog." However, there is a potentially legitimate answer here. The "proper" question would be: Which artists, or period, would be most "representative" of prog? There seems little argument that the surrealists would lead here, since they come closest to the "fantast" element of prog. Thus, Dali, Magritte, Canas, Cornell, and especially Bosch (and also, perhaps, Ernst, Braque, Picasso, Mondrian et al) are probably closest to "prog." As an aside, I used to date Max Ernst's granddaughter. A lovely lady, and a very fine artist in her own right. Peace. |

Being my mother an art dealer, I learned to love painters of different eras, styles and nations maybe except movements as the cubism which I don't understand, but some of favorites (including Peruvians) are:
Rafael Sancio
Francisco de Goya y Lucientes
Albert Durer
Michelangelo Buonarotti (Mainly a sculpture, but the Sixtine Chappel is a wonder)
Vincent Van Gogh

Antonio Allegri (Il Corregio)
Carlos Baca Flor (Perú)
