I'm looking to discover some artists previously unknown to me and it might be fun for others to as well.

Discussion is greatly encouraged so feel free to tell us why you like the particular artist's work.

I'll start,

Ludolf Bakhuyzen
Ludolf Bakhuizen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I really like the way he did water and clouds, I haven't really seen much else (yet) that delivers such a sense of motion in the sea.

By the way, it doesn't necessarily have to be your favorite, any artwork you would like to share is fine even your own.

I recently got back into Magic: The Gathering, and every piece of art I saw and liked was done by one Raymond Swanland.

That Bakhuizen is beautiful, thanks for sharing

My class recently took a three week trip to Italy. Despite all of the incredible frescos and works we saw, this one really stood out to me. I am no artist, but I was just struck dumb by the raw emotion depicted on St. Augustine by Botticelli. It's particularly good when contrasted with Ghirlandaio's image of St. Jerome, which is directly across the way in the Ognissanti.

That's pretty cool, I've always like some good fantasy art, thanks for sharing it.

I'm jealous of your trip and I'm not an artist either but that is a really nice painting, the detail in St. Augustine's face in particular is fantastic, thanks for posting it.

Ahem... http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f11/po...ntings-409376/

I'm going to answer a little differently this time. Besides, this is not just a painting

Joseph Beuys' "Fat Chair".

 

[userlander]

Paul Klee is one of my favorites:

as well as Kandinsky, Miro, and most of the abstract expressionists.

Also like Cezanne:

And van Gogh, of course.

This is a bit general, but fractals are amazingly beautiful...

That is a nice one.

I made some fractals a while ago if you want to check them out:

fractals :: synaptical

Among the currently active painters, my favorite is Luc Tuymans. The muted expression in his portaits; the unhealthy skin tones of green and dirty yellow; the backdrops in ghostly shades of sepia and grey. All suggests sentiments that have been consciously, perhaps painfully, suppressed.

The Rabbit (1994)

Fingers (1995)

Der Diagnostischeblick III

 

[DocHamm]

I have this one hanging up in my house.
Everyone tries to run off with it or get me to give it to them.
I keep telling them that's where I am going to retire.

Artist: Hans-Werner Sahm
Title: "Resort"

 

[TopPop]

Easy for me: Gustave Caillebotte, "Les Raboteurs"

I've spent spent quite a bit of time at the Louvre just staring at this painting.
