LOL. Nope, sorry, my guy Turner's the man. Monet, second.Everybody else can arm wrestle over third. (Wouldn't it be great if an art thread on FR actually got as heated as one of those immigration threads?)

LOL. That would be fun.

Unfortunately, we'd have to argue over whether "illustration" is really art, since I tend to favor "illustration." I'm a serious sucker for good American Folk Art as well.

That said, I like the classics...so call me equal opportunity. Rembrandt, DaVinci (for more than art) and Michealangelo all completely and utterly blow me away. I have to say though, when it comes to impressionists...I'm a Seurat girl. (Are you seeing a pattern here? LOL)

Clearly, you missed some of the 'abstract versus realism' threads. Maybe not quite as heated as the immigration dust-ups, but still...

Kinkade is just painting the pictures that Americans - oh, wait, that won't work.

Okay, how about we just deport everyone who ever bought a Kinkade painting?
