>>1280Oh I absolutely adore Schiele. My mother was looking to buy some artwork to decorate her house with recently, so I linked her to some of his work and to my surprise she loved him too. Now she has 3 prints in the living room.
I'm a really big fan of Yoshitaka Amano. He used to be the lead character designer for the final fantasy series and he illustrates these really detailed, romantically fantastical characters and settings.

I've always loved Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on November 16, 1581 by Ilya Repin. I've since never seen a painting able to depict such raw, unprocessed emotion in this way, it's really transfixing.

I know its cliche, but my favourite painting as an edgy teen was 'Raft of the Medusa', and I still have a soft spot for it
nowadays I tend to prefer softer pre-raphaelite type of things but for some reason this painting in particular is so impressive to me

I love James Jean's art. He releases a timed print every 3 months or so and I've bought each and every one of them lol. My friends all joke that my house is pretty much a James Jean art gallery and that I could start charging people admission.
This is "Adrift" and it's in my top 3 favs from him.

damn, i feel like i ghostwrote this entire thread (minus a couple of the tumblr artists) a lot of these images are from some of my all-time favorite artists!
lately i've been really into vintage shoujo mangaka and their styles that inspire me to work harder on developing a distinct one of my own. also coming back into loving artists i used to cling to when i first started learning about art, particularly pre-raph/ impressionism and also more modern artists like audrey kawasaki, ryden, sorren, yoshitomo nara, pater sato, hikari shimoda and (pictured) liepke.
after a personal period of darkness and being really stagnant i forgot how much art actually makes me happy and inspired, and how much i missed studying and seeing it! i wish this site was a little faster with post frequency because you all have great taste

I'm not a big fan of Pieter Bruegel because his art reminds me a bit too much of naive art which I dislike but I love his painting "Netherlandish Proverbs". It's like a proto-meme or something, and it has so much time and effort put into it. Check out the wikipedia page, it has a list of all the proverbs illustrated:

I love all the old classic clichés on here but I'm especially into this 3D kind of look if we're talking about more modern art. I like it best with bright colours on a blue tone background, like water or the sky. The way the paint comes off the canvas is stunning imo.

I love Tomm Moore's movies and his art style. It's so chilly yet comfy? It just reminds me of being at a cloudy beach while it's raining and there is a forest near by and all of the greenery pops out, almost like neon. The fact that his art style provokes such a deep feeling is what makes me such an avid fan of his work.

i really enjoy a lot of Joh Martin's works, largely because of how gargantuan and complex the environments are and how they make the figures in it look minute by comparison. by personal favorite of his is "The Destruction of Pharaoh's Host" (pic related) mostly because of the color composition and how serene he makes the chaotic situation looks.

Aivazovsky, The Ninth Wave.
The painter was born in a port town near the Black Sea and painted a ton of seascapes, many of them depicting the struggle between man and nature. Russians had a saying, "worthy of Aivazovsky's brush", for lovely things.
I find the translucent quality mesmerizing.

>>23829Museums and galleries often sell catalogues of different artists/genres/time periods. A 5 year old might appreciate something colourful and detailed, like the pre-raphaelites or something. You can also get childrens fairytale books with illustrations from the 1880s-1930s golden age, those are amazing
