Your favorite kinds of era of painting, or your favorite artists in general

[mrtoontastic]

Abstract, Renaissance, Expressionist, The Roaring '20s. All types of periods of art. All types of artists. Boy, I love me some renaissance paintings (even some of the overblown works!) But sometimes you come across ones that just make your head spin.

I gotta say. I really enjoy some of Frank Gehry's architecture work. They're wild and weird.

I mean, I wouldn't have this guy design my house, but... they're just quite a sight when you look at them. I'd say his works is post-modern?

But that's just me. What's your favorite art period, and/or who's your favorite artist in general? Lemme know!

Is it weird that I don't particularly have any artist/an I really like? I guess you could at that I'll appreciate art as I see it, but never really delve too deep into it (except when I feel very deep into it...)

I think it's mostly because I never really get the chance to really learn about the different kinds of art.

Currently i see myself enjoying abstract art, because it's weird in a fascinating way. Styles like cubism and surrealism mostly.

Now, if it were to design/decorate my home that's another story, i would take a more sober approach XD

Most favourite artists that I can name come from the modern era and it's quite limited to those of the manga nature.

If I had to place my finger on a favourite era of art, it would be the Renaissance. It's seemed like such a sparkly, explosive time to be an artist. Plus, along with the master works, there were also some hilarious pieces clearly done with no references to real babies or animals.

Oh, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were named after artists from that era.

I'm such a sucker for Impressionist paintings! I also love me some Gothic architecture, soaring cathedrals and castles and the lot. Oh and Islamic architecture! Some of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen were mosques. Talk about amazing tile-work inside of them, seriously beautiful!

Art Nouveau is what I really love. In both art and Architecture

@mrtoontastic this totally fit your art style. I can see your characters living there!

RENAISSANCE!!!

Baroque, Churrigueresque

I like their beauty canon, color palette, and how detailed everything is. I'm not particularly religious but I enjoy the sacred art, especially the music!

[Ardelvion]

Favorite is Modern era, specifically when there was outsider art. I like seeing what art styles and experiments that self-taught artists came up with during that time.

[Kelheor]

Art nouveau

and Pre-Raphaelites!

Carlo Arellano

I don't know where to start, there are so many. I tend to like representational art, realistic as well as more stylized. I guess if I had to give one artist a shout-out, Sergio Toppi has been one I've been impressed by for a long time now:

I would not say that I have a favorite era, but my favourite painter has to be Alphonce Mucha. His work, I don't know, just make me feel peaceful when I look at them.
I also enjoy ikonopis (not sure if the word exists in the English language), the religious paintings inside Orthodox Christianity churches (some Catholic temples have ones too, I believe).

[mrtoontastic]

Those are the best cartoon/comic artists out there, man love the choices.

[mrtoontastic]

Oooh, I'll have to check those out some time.

[mrtoontastic]

Wooahhh... so impactful!

[mrtoontastic]

Say no more! I am already impressed <3

[mrtoontastic]

Such grace and beauty, I need to look into this more.

[mrtoontastic]
