I'm not much of an art person, but I love Duchamp. Just saw his exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art a few weeks ago. I'm also an enormous Pollock fan.
Smaller artists include Leonid Afremov, Rob Gonsalves, and David Lanham. With the exception of Gonsalves it's nothing particularly brilliant, but I enjoy it visually. I also love the artwork of certain comic artists. Bill Watterson, of course, and Berke Breathed, and David Hellman of A Lesson is Learned.
- hyperbovine 17y agoAhh, Pollock. For me painting stopped at Pollock. There are many artists I like who came before Pollock, and none who came after. Pollock himself I find to be one of the most difficult painters. Most days I think he is a hack, but on occasion his work speaks to me.
- unalone 17y agoThere's still a lot of good stuff today. I really doubt we'll see any painters that revolutionize the form as much, at least not without significantly changing the tools of the medium. He turned painting into a pure creation of content, where what mattered was the canvas rather than the depiction. When you see his work in person it's incredibly powerful.
