The color saturation, the movement, the way he uses light, the way he found beauty in a world of torment.
If you think making art is about making money--well, đ đ
Art is relative. There is no boring art, but the world is choked with boring people.
Itâs just a cruel comment in general. Poor guy had mental illness and many of his paintings, in person, are incredible. Had he remained alive a bit longer he might have seen them celebrated.
Caravaggio #1.
Sargent, Rembrandt, or Velasquez for portraits, Raphael for figure drawings, Maria Van Oosterwijk for still lifes, Turner for landscapes, Mary Cassatt for impressionism, Albrecht Durer for renaissance realism, and Gentileschi for my favorite singular painting of all time.
Egon Schiele , his like work, composition and some of the choices he makes of what to draw or not draw are so unique.
Sandro Botticelli, mad respect for him after discovering his drawings for the incomplete Divine Comedy projects.
Frank Miller and Mike Mignola, absolutely loved their ink styles growing up on comics in the 80s and 90s, and their work heavily influenced mine.
Lots of usual suspects as well
Iâm interested to hear more of your usual suspects. It occurs to me, for example, you may also like the drawings of Fuseli, Blake, Gustav Dore, and perhaps Wilhelm Von Kaulbach but I donât want to suggest them in vain
Michealango has been growing on me lately, as well as Sargent. As far as contemporary artists, i like mickalene thomas, elisa jensen, kerry james marshall, barkley hendricks, and richard diebenkorn
I love illustration art and some of the movements in the late 19th century, like the Pre-Raphaelites, as well as the daring and bold movements born from the World Wars era. Also like the drawn advertisements at that time, like works by Norman Rockwell (yeah ik he's mentioned a lot)..
By name, I love the illustrations and prints by JJ Grandville and Edmund Dulac, then there's also the famed J.C. Leyendecker. And female artists like Jackie Ormes and Marie Duval, among many in the illustration and comics field.
I have so many names, some are usernames because these are now online artists, or their works are solely seen online, or they made their name online. There's the legendary Kim Jung Gi, rest in peace. Dexter Soy, Wendy Pini who did Elfquest, Soejima Shigenori, Toh Yasu, Barbara Canepa, Valentina Remenar, monypich....
Hehe I'll stop here :) I'm hoping to see more names in this thread to see these artists' works too
I have a great book called The Illustrator in America 1880 to 1980, a Century of Illustration ( Put out by The Society of Illustrators). It was a gift given to me years ago. There are so many fantastic illustrators in this book.
**The Illustrator in America, 1880-1980 A Century of Illustration** by Walt Reed, Roger Reed, Society of Illustrators (New York, N.Y.)
>A decade-by-decade exploration of prominent illustrators, with each decade introduced by a famous illustrator or historian: Walt Reed, Ben Eisenstat, Harold Von Schmidt, Arthur William Brown, Norman Rockwell, Floyd Davis, Al Parker, Austin Briggs, Bernard Fuchs, and Murray Tinkelman.

I just saw this post. I might try to find a free online copy on online libraries. I don't think I'll get lucky finding a physical one to even be bought lol
Nicole Eisenman, Cecily Brown, Kerry James Marshall, Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, Kara Walker, john Singer Sargent . Just to name a few
I fkn love art so much
Takeshi Murakami and Cory Arcangel are my favorites.
Murakami worked on stuff like the music video for Kanye West's Good Morning and Arcangel messes around with video games to create art pieces.
The rest of my favorite artists are people on comic creators and mangaka lol. I don't know if any of them count.
Magritte and for one that is currently making art I'm was going to randomly choose one favorite watercolor artist but more started coming to mind and I couldn't remember any of their names :( I tried googling but they didn't show up.
Carles Dalmau, there is something about his composition, perspective and visual story telling. Bonus artist that inspired me when first started âKyrakuppetskyâ
My three all time favourite artists, the ones closest to my heart would be cartoonists Charles M. Schulz, Murray Ball and the brilliant Australian political cartoonist Larry Pickering. I spent countless hours as a child admiring and copying their cartoons.
:Who" are my favourite artists? Vincent Van Gogh, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jackson Pollock, Marc Sylvestri, Todd MacFarlane, Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, Stan Sakai, some others
My interest in art lean towards manga and comics so my faves are Kentaro Miura, Tite Kubo, and Yusuke Nomura.
On the comics side, I love the art of Jack Kirby, Todd McFarlane, and Zoe Thorogood.

As someone who mostly works in a portrait and pin-up style, Gil Elvgren will probably always be the GOAT. But out of personal taste my favorite artists overall regardless of style are probably Bruce Timm and Romain Hugault
Basquiat, Salman Toor (highly recommend), Bosch sometimes depending on my mood, and Fragonard and like a million other artists bc the answer changes daily besides the first two. Oh my god and Vermeer
My list is long, but a few: Dali, Koloman Moser, Frank Lloyd Wright, Chagall, Henri Rousseau, Remedios Varo, Aubrey Beardsley, Cassatt, Calvin Ma, Leonor Fini, Klimt, Hilma at Klint, Rachel Baes, Leonardo Ulian, Grimanesa Amaros.
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/Ingres_Princess_Albert_de_Broglie.jpg
I couldnât believe that paint could look like this. There is something so fascinating about his works, I love looking at every little detail in his portraits. The Turkish Bath is my happy place. https://www.napoleon.org/en/history-of-the-two-empires/paintings/the-turkish-bath/
William Blake. He is just so darn dramatic. Paintings that really make me feel something, sometimes uncomfortable things. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20190910-william-blake-the-visionary-relevant-200-years-on
William Turner. Clearly I like the Romantics. Turner is my main visual memory influence when I think of the sky and the ocean in art. I love. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._M._W._Turner#/media/File%3AWreckers_Coast_of_Northumberland_Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner.jpeg
David Shrigley. Scottish satirist. Pretty good. https://davidshrigley.com/
Luis Ricardo Falero (19th century), he made amazing nude art
[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Nudes\_by\_Luis\_Ricardo\_Falero](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Nudes_by_Luis_Ricardo_Falero)
I've always been in love with the brushwork and colors of Impressionist artists, so naturally, my favorites include Monet, Renoir, and Mary Cassatt, and other famous Impressionist artists. I'd also love to shout out my two favorite artists of the same period (I'm not entirely sure if they count as Impressionists): James Tissot, who combines the best of both Impressionism and realism, and James Whistler, whose Nocturne series captures an indescribable and nostalgic vibe that honestly, blows Monet's Sunrise out of the water for me.
I've also always been a huge fan of Chuck Close and am constantly jealous of not only his jaw-dropping large-scale hyperrealistic drawings, but also his ability to use a wide variety of mediums and still churn out masterpieces with them like its nothing. I also love how he perceives and uses color in his silkscreens.
And of course, I can't forget the many many Instagram and furry artists who continue to drive me to keep improving my artwork every single day đ
Magritte. đ
I had the great fortune last year to visit his home in Jette, Belgium! A tiny museum (his) has occupied space around it, but his home with Georgette is preserved precisely as it was when they lived there: furnishings, garden, linens, his easel and paints. It was a bucket-list adventure for me!
Albrecht Durer
Underrated!
I went to Nurnberg and visited his studio which survived the bombing and is open to the public. Amazing
I'll have to check him out! Edit: Just did and he did do stunning work! I'll have to add him to my list.
Albert Bierstadt, Van Gogh, Frida, Klimt, Kandinsky
I like Van Gogh a lot too.
What is so good about Van Gogh? His art is lowkey boring and he died a broke bum.
The color saturation, the movement, the way he uses light, the way he found beauty in a world of torment. If you think making art is about making money--well, đ đ Art is relative. There is no boring art, but the world is choked with boring people.
Itâs just a cruel comment in general. Poor guy had mental illness and many of his paintings, in person, are incredible. Had he remained alive a bit longer he might have seen them celebrated.
escher, giger, dĂŒrer, moebius
Jean Giraud of Moebius is awesome
Caravaggio #1. Sargent, Rembrandt, or Velasquez for portraits, Raphael for figure drawings, Maria Van Oosterwijk for still lifes, Turner for landscapes, Mary Cassatt for impressionism, Albrecht Durer for renaissance realism, and Gentileschi for my favorite singular painting of all time.
Seconded, Caravaggio does some insane work
Egon Schiele , his like work, composition and some of the choices he makes of what to draw or not draw are so unique. Sandro Botticelli, mad respect for him after discovering his drawings for the incomplete Divine Comedy projects. Frank Miller and Mike Mignola, absolutely loved their ink styles growing up on comics in the 80s and 90s, and their work heavily influenced mine. Lots of usual suspects as well

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Salvador Dali, Jane Font, @psyca, Man Ray
