Favorite Artists

46

Hiiii, figured it's about time for me to do some catching up and do a little blog homework. :) This assignment is from a little while ago, but it's a subject that I am very passionate about as an artist.

Who are your favorite artists? Share some of your favorite pieces by them! (@rambo @missy @lyxzen)

I truly could go on and on about this subject...

I've always enjoyed traditional portraiture and figure drawing/painting. Some great historical influences and favorites of mine include Caravaggio, daVinci, Michelangelo, Bernini, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Vermeer.

Here are some standout pieces:

Caravaggio - The Incredulity of Saint Thomas

Bernini - The Rape of Proserpina

Rembrandt - Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee

Some of my favorite contemporary artists include Lucian Freud, Phillip Pearlstine, Terry Rodgers, Alyssa Monks, and David Jon Kassan.

Terry Rodgers - The Transparency of Venus

Alyssa Monks - Laughing Girl

There are many, many more that I could mention, but all of these artists to me are incredible and very inspirational!

Oh god, I used to love Lucian Freud, Carravaggio and Rembrandt. God. It's not that I don't like them now, just haven't put any time into art in a long time, though I have seen works from all three at various times in London. Rembrandt's self portraits are amazing. Jesus I used to be really into art when I was younger this is bringing up some old memories for me. Thanks @Orion.
