In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.—Marc Chagall

I can RELATE to MOST art forms and ARTISTS...But I do have to say that I LOVE Vincent Van Gogh, Marcel Mouly, and of course Peter Max.

... just "Frida".

Cyclopea · 04-24-2010, 12:05 AM

Hans Bellmer is not "my favorite"- don't know that I have a "favorite".
But one I love.

I likes me some surrealism!

For some reason the link to Kahlo's "My Birth" failed, above...
Let me try again:

Fun Fact: Pop artist Madonna owns the original..

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. - George Washington Carver

What a hard question! I seriously don't have a favorite.

Right now, I'll pick The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch

He was just so random and so ahead of his time.

This hangs in the Laing Gallery in my adopted home town of Newcastle Upon Tyne, it's free to go in to the gallery, so I've been known to stand and look at it for hours on end ...

Nat · 04-26-2010, 06:05 PM

I also love Edvard Munch's Madonna

Nat · 04-26-2010, 06:26 PM

One of my favorite poems (with images added)

Museum Piece

The good grey guardians of art
Patrol the halls on spongy shoes,
Impartially protective, though
Perhaps suspicious of Toulouse.

Here dozes one against the wall,
Disposed upon a funeral chair.
A Degas dancer pirouettes
Upon the parting of his hair.

See how she spins! The grace is there,
But strain as well is plain to see.
Degas loved the two together:
Beauty joined to energy.

Edgar Degas purchased once
A fine El Greco, which he kept
Against the wall beside his bed
To hang his pants on while he slept.

— Richard Wilbur
