So... I'm on a bit of an art spurt, I just finished my second drawing in two nights and I was wondering...

What's VN's favorite type of art, artist, and piece of art?


I love surrealism, pop, and simplistic art. My favorite artists are Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol.

I enjoy looking at Rivera's paintings (random i know lol). They just have so much history and meaning behind them, he put a lot of his own heart in his paintings. It's fun to try to figure out what he's really meaning to paint instead of what he painted lol.

Seeing the Cambell's can on your post reminded me that I went to an exhibit on Warhol at tOSU early in the fall. The exhibit featured lots of video including a video of a guy doing a portrait of Warhol while holding the paintbrush with his cheeks, not the facial ones. I'm just not cut out for the world of high art.

I'm more of an Art Monk man.

Anything from the masters to Myself.

Anything that makes me smile or inspires me.

That can change my mood and make me feel more appreciative of life...........

:eek:hmy:

I'd be the first to say that Warhol is hit or miss with people. It's out there, but honestly, the best artwork is the least common.

I can't believe I forgot to mention MC Escher... he's my favorite artist by far. Every single one of his works is a masterpiece. I love how they all are types of illusions, also. And something so perfect done on a lithograph... amazing.

I always loved it when Bob Ross would pull a rodent out of his shirt pocket midway through some skyline or happy tree that went off the boundries of the painting. That was awesome.

W.C.Houston was the post prolific sketch artist I've even seen. Last I heard he holds a chair at Carson Newman.

Da vinci didn't have anything on this guy,just masterful....

I tried my hand at a multimedia piece last night as a gift for a friend... It didn't come out so well... I've never painted before and... I need to practice. :eek:

However, I did make my own easel for $4 from stuff at the hardware store I work at. They want $80+ for one at the art store... screw that! LOL.
