Post by: Knotter8 on September 03, 2002, 12:14:15 AM: :D wOOt ! I did artsacademy. My fav artist has to be Giorgo de
Chirico. Funny thing is, Sony used his art for inspiration for the
boxart of the PAL Ico game. I bet they came up with the name
Ico from Chir-ico ! :laughing:

Post by: ben_high on September 03, 2002, 07:37:38 AM: My favorite artist is Dali as well.Lucky for me the only Dali art gallery in the U.S. is 15 min.from my house right here in downtown St.Petersburg.I\'ve probably been there over a dozen times and believe me no picture in a book can really bring out the detail of his paintings.Even after being there so many times I still see something in a painting tht I didn\'t see before.

I think you mean IMPRESSIONIST!

Bleh, now we\'re equally stupid and you can stop making fun of me.

EDIT: Unless you were talking about that Albrecht Durrer guy, whose style I do not know.

Post by: Coredweller on September 03, 2002, 10:26:19 AM: Many favorites, including Durer. I\'m glad someone else mentioned him, but that woodcut is not the best example. His paintings were unbelievable.

John Singer Sargent.
When I saw this painting in the MFA Boston, I was astounded. The size is unbelievable.

Post by: Rya on September 03, 2002, 05:46:10 PM: -Alex Ross of comic books, because they all look so real, it\'s freaky! I can\'t read comic books unless they\'ve got a good amount of effort put into the illustrations. That\'s probably why I\'ve read just about all the comics that Ross has done the illustrations for.

-Normon Rockwell (don\'t know what genre), because his works are always good for a little humor when needed. Something very homely and simplistic about his work that attracts me. This is called "Roadblock."
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockwellsite.com%2Fgraphics%2Fimg%2Fcl%2F59_full.jpg&hash=23f7267395ea380d597166578f74ec4a622a43c5)

-Lord Frederick Leighton (I forget what the genre is called...Victorian Neoclassicism?). I like his work the most because his subjects are always sweet, powerful, or contemplative. The use of light and positioning is fabulous. This is called "The Painter\'s Honeymoon."

-William Bouguereau (also of Victorian Neoclassicism). His work is just as simplistic as Leighton\'s but I like Leighton\'s subjects more. However, in my opinion, Bouguereau\'s works... anyone can appreciate them. This is called "L\'Innocence" or "Innocence."

-Raphael from the Renaissance, especially his Madonna pieces. His use of color and most of his subjects are pretty good. His work is a little lighter than Leonardo di Vinci\'s works. This is called "Madonna of the Meadow."
