Do you have a favorite artist?

[SamuraiDrifter]

Let’s see. I love the work of James Ensor, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, MC Escher, Rob Gonsalves, and street artists such as Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and even Banksy.

More and more, I kind of don't. It's just too hard to say "this one is better than all the others" when there's so many now. It's become a case of increasing numbers of apple-to-orange types of comparisons to the point that you have to get really specific about what type of favorite. I find that I more just go through periods of having a current most-listened-to artist or group of artists.

edit: substitute 'listened to' to 'viewed' or 'paid attention to' depending on the type of artist

You familiar with this one? The first track is particularly rotten.

I don't really consider any of these above each other, but they first come to mind when I think of the kind of art I've grown to like:

-Francis Bacon
-Piet Mondrian
-Wassily Kandinsky
-George Condo
-Henry Darger
-Anton Corbijn
-Zdzisław Beksiński (photography specifically)
-Masahiro Ito
-Yoshitoshi ABe
-James Ferraro
-Andy Warhol
-Chris Lyons (AKA Chriddof)
-various album artworks

Oh dear gods... err...

Wassily Kandinsky
Juan Gris
Franz Marc
Jean-Paul Riopelle
Banksy
Dali (ok in the end he was a whore, but some stuff was really out there)
Roy Lichtenstein
Bernard Buffet
Georges Rouault

And others, I am sure that I am missing a few tons of them
