Hi,
I love this thread but didnt vote in the poll because none of my personal favorities are in there. I tend to have rather quirky tastes. I tend to grow passions for movement and the artists associated with them. I love Romanticism in many of its forms. I love Art Nouveau, the Viennese Secessionists, American Magic Regionalism,Surrealism and Realism,The PaJaMa Group.
In terms of individual artists the ones that come to mind immediately are:
Vermeer,Ingres,David,Goya,Seurat,Toulouse-Lautrec,Tissot,Alma-Tadema,Waterhouse, Catlin,Church,Wood,De Lempicka, Reiss, Cadmus, French, Vickery, Wyeths, MAtisse, Klee,Kahlo,Rivera,Dali, Hart-Benton,Tooker ...
I am drawing a blank but I will think of more later....
