OK, just 3?! Well, I guess that'd have to be Dali, William Wagman (photographers count right?), and Picasso, no particular order. I like alot more of them, but those were the first three that popped into my head.

Greetings:

Do you mean William Wegman, the 'Weimareinar guy'?

Oops! Misspelt it did I? Yaya, that's who I meant. *Is a big fan of his photography and films*

Can I cheat? I can cheat.
Modigliani and Picasso are 1 and 2, or 2 and 1, depending.
3 is a dead heat between Juan Gris, Braque, Egon Schiele, and Max Beckmann.
Actually, Schiele probably just wins by a nose

John H · #**201** 03-05-2003, 09:13 PM

1. Albert Bierstadt
2. Frank Church
3. Constaple

Patrick Marion · #**202** 03-06-2003, 09:20 PM

1. Andrew Wyeth (his son Jamie too)
2. Nita Engle

The list goes on and on.

OK, here's my list of deceased masters:

Degas ~ for distinguishing the modern crop

Picasso ~ for making African art accessible

Basquiat ~ for bringing hip-hop to modern art

And since there's not an overwhelming representation of diversity in this area, I'd like to acknowledge 3 highly accomplished (though scarcely known) contemporary masters:

John Outterbridge ~ Sculptor, unparalleled!

It chages...the German expressionist wood cuts of the 30's and Canadian group of seven are also biggies on my list.

Susan Rothenberg

Hi Pantone,
I noticed that not a lot of women were mentioned among the favorites, so I looked Susan up on the web.
I wasn't familiar with her work but I found this painting to be very intriguing. The subject matter is a pleasant surprise and it feels quite intimate.

Thanks for sharing her.
What is it about Susan's work that speaks to you?
