My favourite is Vincent Van Gogh, in particular Starry Night. I'm only new here, not sure how to post pics. I particularly like the story about Van Gogh painting it from memory while locked away and how he was able to paint the wind with swirls and swooshes. The song starry starry night is very moving.
I'm glad you said that, because Van Gogh is my favorite artist as well and I recently got a huge canvas of Starry Night! There are a lot of his slightly lesser known works too which I love, and would love to share if you are interested. He has such a unique style - you can always tell a Van Gogh work from a mile away. Truly a shame that he (allegedly) only sold one painting in his entire life... Thanks for the share!
Yes Van Gogh does stand out. I was lucky enough to visit NYC and MOMA to see his paintings first hand. An amazing experience. I also really like Monet, these two really stand out for me. I am still venturing in to art and am constantly surprised by the creativity and beauty.
