Who is your favorite painter?

[Whatthefluff]

One of my favorite artists of all time is Edvard Munch. He was a prolific impressionist painter, one who was able to evince emotions and experiences through captivating scenes. He's the main reason I want to visit Norway.

Maybe I'll do a Mytake on him sometime. Would anyone enjoy reading it?

[AmandaYVR]

It might be Sage Vaughn.

Initially his stuff can seem sweet.

But there are dark elements too.
This one is not particularly dark, but he likes to drip paint, which certainly adds an element.

And a lot of his scenes have commercial, gritty, elements in the bkgd, which stop them from being too saccharine.

Leonid Afremov 😍

I mever understood art. Maybe because there's no clear meaning, explaination it feels up to interpretation.. maybe that's part of the charm. Meaning is the jumper you have to knit yourself and eyes of the beholder..

Mine is my dad.

I have other favorite painters aswell. I'll read your mytake too.

[Whatthefluff]

Very interesting. Is it oil paint?

[IAMNathanael]

I have no idea, actually. These must be from over a decade ago.

Omar Ortiz
for his incredibly life-like & realistic portraits:

Unbelievably Unrealistic! These are NOT PHOTOS!

[Jupiter1]

Impressive! 👍 Are you the model in these paintings? 🤩

[DeeDeeDeVour]

@Jupiter1 No, I'm none of them. However, I have reached out to him to offer my services as a model for his workshops. It would be an honor to do so. Unfortunately, Mr. Ortiz tours mostly within Mexico.

Painter? I'm actually partial to Van Gogh. Not because he's famous or renowned. I remember seeing pictures of some of his works before I knew anything about him, and they sort of spoke to me. But artist? I'm very fond of Ansel Adams. Also Steve McCurry of National Geographic. daVinci is hard to overlook as well. I don't know. With so much good stuff out there, I find it impossible to pick a single "favorite"

[DamnSam]

As an artist myself, I like not so famous artists

K. Brati (ebay)

And a guy I met online but his whole name is in Cyrillic, I know him just as Vladko, from deepest Russia... makes surrealism with oil mix techniques

And of course, my own work

[MTC29]

Raphael. Although he was not a genius the likes of Leonardo (few could be), or brilliant (and eccentric) like Michelangelo, I feel Raphael's works were balanced, graceful and demonstrated a certain artful restraint.

[Anno2]

Maybe biased because he's a local but always loved Markus Åkesson.

Favourite painting "Le Passage" by Kay Sage. Her emotions are transparent and honest so you can feel what she felt when painting it.

[Moose304]

I have a lot of paintings in my apartment. I have two Edgar Degas paintings in my Office. My favorite is "Dancers" and another one is L'intérieur (Le Viol), I don't want to use the English title.

[KieranByrne]

I recently saw someone who done paintings of 16th century ships, my god the detail was outstanding! I cannot remeber the name of the painter, a work colleague shown this to me!

[KieranByrne]

If I get the name, or even a picture I will upload!

These are prints, but I imagine owning the real thing!

[Slayerrrrrrr]

Between Van Gogh and Salvador Dali.
But for all the art bandwagons to take note; Bob Ross is the Boss.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I like a lot of fantasy art but I don’t know the names of the painters

[SlightlyEccentric]

Only because I did a project on his life and work in 5th grade, Marc Chagall

[NightOwl8801]

Bob Ross is absolute favorite, his son Steve and friend Dana Jester also are really talented painters...

[888theGreat]

Degas and Dali, but Monet, Van Gogh , and I really like Vermeer

[Whatthefluff]

You might like the book The Girl in Hyacinth Blue. I'd send you my copy but it's in storage somewhere I don't know.

[888theGreat]

I have one or two Vermeers', $30,000 Dali, Some limited Degas worth $3000.

[Whatthefluff]

Dang the original paintings? Dang
Maybe the book I mentioned is about you

[888theGreat]

no , originals are millions
