Since we are having so much fun on the movie topic, I'm curious as to what "fine" artists influence you and your work. Here are mine:
"Old-School":
Michaelangelo
DaVinci
The Pre-Raphaelites (Burne-Jones and Waterhouse in particular)
Van Gough
Walter Crane (art nouveau)
Alphonse Mucha (art nouveau)
Impressionists
20th-century
Tiffany (esp. his stained glass windows!)
Picasso
Dali
Geogia O'Keefe
Alicia Austin
Roger Dean
Jim Fitzpatrick
Frank Frazetta
(I know that a lot of people consider these last 4 "illustrators" - but I don't, :lol: )

I wouldn't say that I'm "influenced" by artists, but being nearsighted, I must say that the impressionist style resonates with me. It's just what I see without my glasses.
Does anybody know if (some of) the impressionists really were nearsighted?

I don't know if they were nearsighted but a lot of them had mental problems. Van Gogh especially. It was probably from mixing their own paints. The cadmium used in a lot of paints is very hazardous and clove oil in large amounts can be too. I love Van Gogh's work though and also Monet's. Picasso---not so much. LOL
John Singer Sargent was an absolutely phenomenal portrait artist and I loved studying his work. He's probably my favorite.

This is my brother Matthew, so I am biased, but he is a wonderful artist. He has pieces in both MOMAs (CA and NY), the Art Museum of Dallas, and a museum in Wichita, among other places. If you google him, you can probably find the most recent show in Zurich.
non-related favorites include:
Edward Hopper,
Gustav Klimt
Ewa Wall (Hill country Texas artist)
Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Keith Haring
