    I am sad formyself that I don't know how to imbed a pic here!
    His art is so weird and pretty and interetsing.
    It gives me hope for the crazy crap I paint and draw.

    Gustav Klimt

    ausschnitt_kuss_hi.jpg

    + basically every artist mentioned.

    Thank you! I was beginning to worry I was the only one who knew about Klimt. I love his way of showing the grotesque and the beautiful at the same time.

    Also I love Alphonse Mucha

    I certainly know about Klimt! That painting posted is The Kiss. :-)

    He just isn't one of my favorites. Not my style, really.

    Marc Chagall is my all time favorite and I have this one hanging in my bedroom ^_^ Went to Chicago last month and saw American Windows at the museum, several of his paintings and the four seasons mosaic downtown. I <3 him.

    Dali & Degas for paintings

    Adams for photographs

    I could spend all day in an art museum if I could. My favorite is the Walker in Minneapolis. The sculpture garden there is so fun to walk through.

    I love his work and he has an amazing story! I bid and won one of his oil paintings years ago on eBay and just love it. So beautiful.

    I remember seeing this for the first time in 7th grade art class and being amazed at how it looked like they sky is moving. It is such a comfort to me.

    Van_Gogh_-_Starry_Night.jpg

    That picture was always a comfort to me. It is my favorite Van Gogh painting.

    As a numbers geek and an art lover it only makes sense that I LOVE M.C.Escher

    We have this Brandon Bird print above our fireplace, I think he's insanely creative. (yes, that's Christopher Walken with a robot)

    and I also LOVE Mark Ryden. I think his stuff is STUNNING

    Cy Twombly

    The Italians is one of the most BRILLIANT pieces of art I've ever seen. I come from an Italian family and totally get it! lol

    I alos really like Michaelangelo. I didn't have an appreciation for him until I read The Agony and the Ecstasy, though.

    Back in high school, our art assignment was to take a picture as inspiration and create a sculpture. They would then be displayed at an art open house. Myself and one other guy went all out and based it off Salvador Dali. He went for the more literal sculpture...The Ghost of Vermeer. It was awesome though!! HUGE! Probably about 10 feet tall....pretty much all papier mache! He won the actual award. However, mine was more just inspiration. I went with The Burning Giraffe. I made a giraffe coffee table. It had a lamp coming up through the middle. The head and legs were papier mache. There was a floating table (smaller) under the top...to create a body (and storage). The whole table had random animal prints all over. It was pretty neat! I won the peoples' choice award and was offered 500 dollars from a random person! I was pretty stoked about that! I wish I had a picture to show you guys. That's my Dali story. I really do love him!
