Do you have a favourite artist, or piece of art........

[askyourgran]

I like some classical painters John Singer Sargent (sp)for one. But some of todays modern prints are really good. Justin Bua and Stephen Johnson are excellent imho except that this sort of art is likely to be displayed in a very modern setting. I'd love to have some of these prints.

Boxy Shirley Travena is good, I almost want to get my paints and canvases out again, haven't done any for years now. Wish I could paint like that.

Off to bed goodnight all,

Craft it could be Dance me to the end of Love. That is my favourite one of Vettriano.

I remember seeing a Banksy print for sale on a TV programme, it was excellent. It looked like a modern sci-fi sort of cop it went for a lot of money if I remember right.

Thank you for Alfred Wallis and Warren Kimble. I didn't know them. My favourite is Picasso. Love his ceramics. But also Modigliani, Mondrian, Henry Moore, Dali...

[andy-hughes]

I love Dali's work.

My favourites are the Metamophosis Of Narcissus, and Swans Reflecting Elephants, with Slumber as a close third.

The first, because it was the first time i saw a painting that i understood.

The second because a print of it was hanging on the wall above the bed in the room where i first slept with a woman.

The third because it makes a realisation of a concept, which is a feat in itself.

Van Gogh, Bosch, Turner, Gilbert and George are all favourites of mine plus a video instillation artist called Bill Viola. But my favourite painting, by another favourite artist, is this "Stanczyk, The Court Jester" by Jan Matejko

I like originals (don't we all).

As I'm not likely to be owning a Constable any time soon, I set my seghts a bit lower.

I've got some great oils and water colours that I've bought in Spain and Portugal, but mostly I like buying paintings from the guys in the arches, underneath the promenade. I've got loads of big, cheery, oil paintings ... all quite modern, and very jolly.
