    Klimt.


    Not many people know that he painted the women *nude* first, then covered them up. When asked why, he said..."They are only for me"

          My favorite... that's gonna be tough. I've always dug Jackson Pollock. To me, he embodies the raw passion, the contradictions, and also all consuming power of the Post-WW2 American "can do" ethos. His art philosophy mirrors my own personal philosophy of life: the painting is NOT the art... its the process of doing the painting that is the art. Applied to one's personal life, its not the cars, the house, the Roth IRAs, the zero coupon bonds, its the process of living life... of feeling it.

          Some of his stuff:




          his famous "LUCIFER"

              Another fucked up soul.

              Australian Bret Whitely (long dead smack addict now) also comes to mind in this genre...

                    Bosch paintings are great to view with some psychedelic music in the background. However, according to some art critics his art wasn't as intentionally 'warped' as, say the Dadaists or Salvador Dali (whose egg fetish can be taken as a hint of allegorical painting as well), because he was just merely painting in code... he was an allegorical painter. It's still mind blowing though... specially if you compare his stuff to his contemporaries'

                          Hieronymus Bosch (b.1450 - d.1516) gets my vote for his sheer courage. He created his art at a time in history when it was very dangerous to depict images such as his. Artists were routinely punished to various degrees for producing what the Church considered blasphemous and dangerous works. Despite the personal danger to himself he painted what he was compelled to paint. Bosch's art inspired the likes of H.R.Giger and his "biomechanics" and nearly every other well-known "dark" or "fanatsy" artist today. Therefore, he is what I would consider my favorite.

                          Btw, in terms of Classical artists, nobody will ever touch Michelangelo...
