I'm quite an art enthusiast. My favorite artist is Pablo Picasso.
The walls of my house are nearly covered with the prints of his incredible work. I don't know how to show the pictures in this forum (give me a chance to get the hang of how this all functions). I love abstract and surrealism. My other favorite artists include:

*Joan Miro (althought I am going off her work a bit)
*Juan Gris
*Marc Franz
*Salvador Dali
*Kandinsky (some of his at least)

By the way if ANYONE can track down where in the world (i dont care where) I can find Picasso's "Bottle of Pernod (Table in a Café)". 1912. Oil on canvas. The Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia, I will be your slave for ever!!! I don't think it is available in print for purchase, but i sure as hell wish it were.

IXL777 - which version of the Shepherds of Arcadia are you looking for? Which one do you like better?
----------------------------------------------------

I also like surrealism, my favorite one has to be Magritte's Empire of Light.

 

...'she' would have been really pissed off to know that

I like the Da Vinci cartoon of The Virgin and Child with St. Anne and John the Baptist, a chalk and charcoal drawing that would have normally been transfered to panel for painting. This one didn't make it, but is a stunning work in its own right.

I like modern art. Anything in the 20th century because I can easily relate to it. Older art deals too much with Christianity, and I get bored of that really quick. I do like Blake... although it is someitmes straight forward, the pure awesomeness of his ideas strike me.

My favorite types of art involve the actual reality around me (body painting, photography). I will like any type of art, I just dont understand alot of it.

My favorite artist would have to be a surrealist, but I dont pick and choose. They all had bright and sharp minds.

 

Circe....no.1..If you can find it I will be grateful..thanks
Dominic
