I couldn’t possibly pick one piece of art or one artist. There are so many I could name.

Hundertwasser

Klee

Degas

Cezanne

Monet

I adore life drawing, and have pieces dotted everywhere, I’ve even sold some. Art is the most stress relieving thing ever. I think I love it more than listening to music.

(I went to art school for about 4 months, before I were and idiot and quit)

I hate Van Gogh.

Weaver I like a few of your fave's too. I also like: Kandinsky, Matisse, Gaudi, Miró, Gaudi, VGogh, Dali to name but a few and in no particular order.

Matisse i like



I know someone with a Matisse on their wall! True story.

Sold his company for £8m and went straight out and spent £3m on the painting. Built a huge oak framed extension to his house as a dining room and somewhere to hang it.

Bastard.

(actually he's quite a nice bloke really)

 

You were supposed to be nicking that for me.

Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious, nor can any be replaced.

I like "Sunday afternoon on La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat:



It's painted using loads of little dots of paint, but looks like a normal painting from a distance. I think that's pretty cool. It'd be really good to see it in real life and see the actual little blobs of paint up close.

I also like Lowry and Monet. In general I prefer paintings that look like something, can't be bothered with Dali or any of that carry on.

Saw a Hopper retrospective at the Tate a few years ago.  The last painting he did was very moving.

It is a portrait of him with his wife (she was his main model for years and he saw her as a collaborator).  They were quite elderly and they knew it would be the final painting of their career.

He's great, if you can get up really close to admire his work.

Too hard to pick just one but I do like Lowry. I have this on my wall. For some reason they've cut the sides of this pic...


 


Yes, all right.. Christ Almighty! It's like walking down a corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany!
