Escher is simply amazing.
I could go on... His art is so easy for me to get lost in, because I find myself staring at some of them for the longest time trying to figure out how they work. Plays tricks on the mind, I tell ya!
ETA: Spider, I agree. I wasn't paying attention and posted the later piece, The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1954), rather than the original from 1931.

I was in Brussels trying to pick up these Dutch girls when I realized that the Royal Museum had David's 'Death of Marat in His Bath' Its by itself in this room and I left the Dutch girls and just sat with this painting for 10 minutes

Posted: 7/25/06 at 9:01pmMy favorite artist is Salvador Dali. I did an art history tpye project on him in 8th grade and I fell in love with his work. It's so amazingly random and wierd. I love it.

I love the impressionists and their work, especially Renoir.

I second Bernini. I've never gotten over seeing his sculpture up close when I went to the Borghese Gallery in Italy.

Anything by Monet brings tears to my eyes.
I also remember seeing an amazing sculpture carved out of stone at the Victora&Albert. It was a statue of a women laying on her side, with a see through veil over her head. I almost thought some women left a scarf thrown over this statue. It blows my mind that this artist was able to do that because in no world is stone see through. If anyone knows what I'm talking about any information would be great.

Antonio Canova's Amor and Psyche, which I had the pleasure of seeing when I was in Cuomo, Italy last summer.

Howard Hodgkin is one of my favorite painters. This is his "Bed in Venice"

And of course, Hockney. This is his "A Bigger Splash", owned by Steve Martin, I believe.

Posted: 7/25/06 at 10:07pmMargoChanning, agreed to the the fullest. Nothing compares to seeing Bernini's sculptures up close. The Borghese Gallery (and Gardens) are sublime.
