    mine has to be salvador dali, he is whithout a doubt the greatest surrealist and an extremely talented artist. Thing i love most about his work has to be the way he turns substances, hard or soft, into pulp.

    I really like salvador dali aswell, but theres so many other artists i like its too hard list them all. Then theres photographers, i really like the work of bernd and hiller becher, aswell as andreas gursky, and many others.

    Hey all, I'm new and I don't know very many professional artists, but I know my art is TOTALLY ORIGINAL! I enjoy tomas kinkad because his art is full of vivacious life & color that is opposite of bleek and misery... Warm fruitful pieces that bound a life of fullness & prosperity. A spirited piece of popular art.

    With love & humility

    photographers eh? Have you ever seen any of David Heartfield's work? He did a lot of photomontage in the 30's, a lot of which were satirical views of hitlers reigime in germany, my favourite picture by him is 'hurrah die butter ist alle!'

    I'm a Dali fan that's for sure. I also love Van Gogh and Rembrandt

    i don't mind rembrant, but i'm not that big a fan of van gough. Can you believe dali started out as an impressionist? It wwas only after he made 'un chien andalou' with Bunel that he became a surrealist

    the dali exhibit in st. petersburg, fl - is amazing. check it out if you ever get a chance. they've even got sketches and thumbnails of his greater drawings.

    Art is a lie in which the truth of the world reveals itself

    dali's crazy. love all the subliminal things you see about his religious...umm "demons" i guess? that and if i remember right you can see references to impotence.

    there's another artist too (spanish, oo coincidence) who did a painting of the royal family (i believe) and in the painting, there is a mirror where you can see him working on the painting. i dunno, thatspretty trippy

    yes, a lot of his works signify impotence, especialy 'the enigma of william tell', and in his film 'Un Chien Andalou' where the anti hero is seen pulling a rotting donky on a piano. That too symbolises impotence


    apparently :confused:

    that is pretty damned good! I've seen a few pieces in that style, but that's probably the best one.
