[themuzicman]

Well?

[Solly]

Cannaletto & Vermeer. Great stuff.

[Stabbytheclown]

Surrealism. Magritte in particular.

[themuzicman]

AH, that was the one I couldn't remember.. thanks Stabby.

I won't get snarky and point out some of the fab art occurring in comics these days, but I voted for impressionism. I studied the movement when I was at high school.

I have a pet theory that I like impressionism because of my poor eyesight; impressionistic art is how I see the world without my specs!

I don't know that I can categorize art except for very broadly into "Art I like" and "Art I don't care for." Case in point: I don't normally like expressionist art, but The Scream has always caught my attention since the first time I saw it.

[Dave G]

Although it's rather broad for a genre, I prefer book illustrations.

[luv1another]

I mostly like realism but I sometimes like other stuff too or find it interesting I didnt vote for everything so yeah I have art I like art I dont :hehe: I never got into catergories :shrug: either I like it or I dont I dont care what label someone puts on it :teeth:

[Twilly Spree]

I'd say DADA.

Who doesn't love a little DADA?

[Findo]

what about abstract expressionism? I love Mark Rothko's work...

[historic salve]

I like impressionism, but... too much scenery, in my opinion. How many times can you paint a lake and a dock until it becomes unoriginal?

But I love realism, Raphael in particular.

[GKC_fan]

Ooh, Canaletto!!! Bellissimo!! Magnifico!!

I like some of many different genres, but...(some) Art Nouveau!!!! :thumb:

[Kelp]

I clicked Cubism when I meant to click "other".

I like alot of Cubist stuff, but what's really close to my heart is the sort of stark, lines and planes stuff. The geometric sculptures of Calder, for instance.

[Binkster]

Surrealism, Cubism, Baroque, Other

Some favorites

Alfred Gockel
Salvador Dali
MC Escher
CSaba Markus
Peter Nixon
of course, Leonardo da Vinci

I just love art really, anything I like, I like, which is usually not realism or things that a 5 year old can paint with his eyes closed.

[Adrift]

Didn't see this before now. I likes:

Art Noveau
Romanticism
Surrealism
Dadaism
and modern Low Brow

[Crow]

Impressionism is my favorite.

Art Noveau runs a close second.

[DuraGizer]

Surrealism. Expressionism is a close second ... I suppose. :shrug:
