BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Creativity What artist's paintings do you like?

Whose paintings do you admire? Present or from past history? Why does his or her style of painting speak to you?

Far and away my favorite is Monet. I can't give you a reason other than to say that looking at his paintings feeds my soul. I love all the Impressionist painters, but Monet is my favorite.

I also love the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe. Her subjects are so simple but so beautiful.

I love Monet also. Another favorite is Andrew Wyeth.

I can appreciate Edvard Munch's "The Scream" - I used to keep a small print of it on the edge of my computer at a job that I felt trapped in. All I had to do was to look at it and silently I felt relieved of some inner turmoil.

I also like Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" - It was the first 'art' poster I ever bought for myself in college. I relate to it because I feel society is controlled too much by clocks and a lot of anxiety is produced as a result. I just get the warpedness of the clocks melting.

I like the playfulness of Marc Chagall's colorful abstract paintings such as "Lovers in the Moonlight." I especially like the paintings that he included angels in.

The Scream is my all time favorite painting. I am not very knowledgeable in paintings so the only names I can name are the most popular painters. I never remember the name of the person who painted The Scream . But I can appreciate this art form, I cannot express myself well when I talk about it but I do appreciate it.
