sorry, I only see one of them, but I like it.

as to some of my favorite artists: I am especially fond of fantastic and surrealistic art, but I also like expressionism and impressionism and a lot of other painters from other time periods. I am not too fond of modern art, with some exceptions. some modern artists think it is enough to make a joke and call it "art"

to name a few names: Caspar David Friedrich, William Turner, Albrecht Dürer, Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Pieter Brueghel (both the elder and the younger), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet and lots, lots more

Max Klinger - The History of a Glove 2, Action

I've got a massive selection of my own work (link to my latest works) and favorites by other artists Here. Love a lot of the more famous artists too, but I've chosen to stick with artists ignored by the "official" history of art.

I don't think Lucas Cranach and Arnold Böcklin fall into the category of "ignored" artists. Cranach's portrait of Martin Luther and Böcklin's "Isle of the Dead" are very famous paintings.
a very ignored artist is Wilhelm Busch, who today is only known for his picture stories which are usually regarded as important precursors of comic strips. but he did a lot of oil paintings too. here a few of them:

I have three prints adorning the walls of my livingroom by modern painters I admire.
 
First is a watercolour by Michael Morgan RI - and I cannot for the life of me remember the title of this piece, but I love the perspective, texture and solidity of it:

The next is large silk-screen print by Graham Dean titled Blue Head - I adore the serenity of this picture made even more impressive by its scale (100cm x 70cm):
 
and finally an almost photographic emotive study of Stonehenge by moonlight in pastel Anne Sudworth, titled White Goddess:

a very unknown painter is Mihály Zichy. Friede and I were at his museum when we went to visit her realtives in Hungary a few years ago. here one of his paintings called "The Angel of Destruction":


he did a lot of erotic art; if you go looking for images of him you will find some Wink

I hadn't heard of him but i like his work you've shown here.
 
My favourite Art is of landscape usually from the more obvious examples like Turner and Cotman to newer work like these from Debbie Loane........
 
 
 
I like a loose style with emphasis on capturing light and atmosphere as oposed to a lot of detail which can kill a painting for me.

Busch is better known for his picture stories. the most famous of them is "Max und Moritz". here some pics of that story; you can clearly see why he is being called "the father of comic strips", especially in the pic of the explosion (the 4th from above); the way he puts movement into it is extraordinary

I like those

I like a couple of the artists that have been listed, Monet, some Renoir, and those Busch landscapes are nice. lots of movement, part of the reason why i like artists like Van Gogh. im more attracted to abstract art , but i cannot stand paintings simply of a blue square. "the extended being of my reality transposed and juxtaposed against the fabric of infinity" whatever.
still, i probably consider myself a modernist.
oh and i mentioned matthew ritchie in my first post, heres a link

Hey R, just as Magritte's man with the bowler hat was often considered a "self" portrait, do the people in Autumn for Europe represent the same for you (those guys in underwear).( Please believe I am not looking to set up a punch line here)

I wonder if this is a bit of humor showing through (the guys in underwear that is). Nice composition, having looked quickly at the rest. The colour scheme seems a bit dark. Would this reflect a nordic heritage ?

I see what you mean about him being called "The father of the comic strip", yes they are very good. I am right in thinking he's 19th century?

If you like the Debbie Loane paintings you might want to check out some more of her work here....
 
As you can see she does get quite abstract at times but it's still clearly landscape which I really like.
 
I'm not always a fan of abstract stuff myself but I did enjoy Mathew Ritchie's work. I agree with you on the type of art where they simply paint a coloured panel, it does nothing for me either.

im glad you liked Ritchie's work!
Those loane landscapes were nice, some of her mixed media/line work drawings were a little hit or miss but here landscapes i liked a lot.

For the surrealists, i know jean is one, tell me what you think of Alessandro Bavari. heres a link to his sitehttp://www.alessandrobavari.com/
check out his photography. really interesting stuff.
