The Top position would have to be a contest between Charli Siebert and H.R. Giger but the next one would have to be Gerald Brom then Grant Fuhst, Ron English, Wang Wei, Keith Williams and Jessica Galbreth I have tons of pictures from other artists but they are too few so it would be hard to make a decistion on the next few.

What are yours? (Linda Bergkvist should have been above Jessica Galbreth)

For some reason, I just had the feeling that Salvador Dali would be up amongst your favourites.

For me, J W Turner probably comes out on top,

And for contrast M C Escher and Bridget Riley.

Thanks for the website, I really like the art by David DeFigueredo and Shadowelement, looking into the other artists... :nerdy:

I'm not really 'up' on art. However, I *do* like surrealism. My favourite artists are Dali and Miro. Also Matisse, Magritte, Rousseau. And I've found Mark Rothko's work very impressive when experienced in the gallery. Not the same when reduced to postcard size.

Meh, so are musicians.

Might look them up though.
