What period in art do you love?

I dont really think theres a period I like over others, but the 2 things I like the most are contemporary abstract, and indigineous art. I like indigenous art because the processes are so old and traditional i think its a cool way to keep the things you learnt from your elders and still make beautiful pieces of work.

Oh I'm an Impressionist girl myself.......... Manet, Monet, and Renoir. I am not at all an artisitcally talented person myself, but I love the soft, romantic feel to them. I also love some of the old Russian art you see mainly today in the old Icon painting.

Well I love the Renaissance. That has to be my absolute favorite. I like images that I can tell what is going on. I don not like impressionism. I also like some modern artists like Jonathan Earl Bowser. His goddess art is fantastic. http://www.jonathonart.com/intro.html I was looking at the picture you posted are you sure it's Monet? I found one just like it at Thomas Kinkade's site: http://www.piersidegallery.com/artists/kinkade/ it's down at the bottom and links the entrance to the rest of the site.

I love art of Renaissance period as they were just marvelous and an indicator of infinite limits of human imagination and creativity.They showed to explore ourselves along with the nature.

I don't possessed a good artistic ability at looking at some arts. But I have recently started browsing the net for some good oil canvass painting of fairies in different shapes and sizes. They are modern and really beautiful. I plan to purchase my first one in the next few days. They are the picture of child fairies and I love it.

I love orient landscapes. I felt a deep affinity for them the very first time I ever saw one. I still love the style & wish I could paint like that. I love water colors, I find them so facinating. If you see someone standing nose up to a water color - it might be me looking at the technique.

I also have very diverse tastes artistically. As an archaeologist I suppose I'm drawn to some of the very ancient stuff far more than the modern art, I love palaeolithic artwoks such as the Venus figurines and some of the mammoth ivory carvings are exquisite. I also love Iron Age metalwork forms, especially the enamelwork, and I love Renaissance paintings too.

I don't know if it is a period, but I love American western from the 1800's. I don't know art that well, but I think I would like the Native American styles quite well. I need to look into different types of art. I just might want to do some decorating if I can build a new home.

It's easier for me to talk about individual painters than whole period of art. So my favourite painter is Picasso. I love to watch his art, and also his biography is very interesting for me. His painting is wonderful, my sense of aesthetics covers with his paintings. I like also Goya, Bruno Schulz ( he is more known as a writer).But I like to visit museum and watch various exhibitions.

I love the Impressionists. I got to see a display of many Monet paintings when I was visiting Dallas. They had three sets of painting of the same subject at different times of day. This was how he would study the different light on a scene. They had borrowed these paintings from museums all over the world to do the show. To see the same subject painted four or five different times a day was incredible!

egyptian and renaissance for me also. though my all time favorite is albrecht durer. i love his woodcuts-he put such detail into each work he did.raphael is a second fave. some of those egg tempera paintings got such a translucent glowing quality you just can't reproduce with oil paint.

I don't have a favorite style or artist. My tastes are ecclectic and if I like something then I like it not because of who did it or the style. I am particularly fond of that which is unusual and one such unusual thing can be fund at www.sandfantasy.com This woman is incredible and i really like watching this.

I really love no particular era of art. I like all kinds from various periods right up until today. I love Rembrandt, Monet and Renoir, but I also like modern artists like Jackson Pollack. Right now one of my favorite artists is Thomas Kinkade and my dream is to one day own a piece of his artwork.

I took an Ancient Art History course when at University and frankly I have never been able to get into it the way some of my peers did. It just doesn't do it for me. If I had to pick I wopuld probably go with cave art from Lascaux and that sort of thing. I find the fact that those people made the art in the first place, and the wondering of what it all meant to them, to be very interesting.

If I had to pick one it would be the Italian Renaissance - Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Botticelli, etc. I'm like you though in that I have fairly diverse tastes and like a range of different periods/styles.

I really prefer the Italian Renaissance the most. I love Botticelli. I love all the beautiful figures and rich colors in Renaissancce art. I also love Dali and Van Gogh a whole lot too.

I love the surrealist peroid. That's when art became interesting. Taking the real and making of it what you want. Dali and Magritte were the best at it. I do surreal art myself. You can see my work at http://mikesgallery.tripod.com

I would have to say that I love a little bit of ever era too. My favorite painter is John William Waterhouse. But I love Van Goh, Da Vinci, Monet, and loads of others too.

i love art, and i like all of period in art, especially the art of drawing start in leonardo Davinci with his GREAT ART, monalisa, and now i know many local art producer...i love them very much

My tastes in art range both in periods and styles very much. My all time favorite is M.C. Escher, but a close runner up is Sabrina Ward Harrison. AS you can see just from the names alone, there's a huge difference in both time period and style of art. I have to go with what strikes me the most. I write profiles for current artists on a weekly basis and have really come to love the "outside art" I've been coming across, but the classics (Monet, etc.) really stick with me.
