TEN THOUSAND BLISTERING TYPHOONS
Ok. Let's just do this. *huffs*
*********************************************************************
Hannah's Top 10 Artists (At the Moment)
--and I can't include NEARLY all the nice lovely works of these artists so SORRY--
1. Monet
...as in Claude Monet. Known for his water lilies, but did SO much else too. I have a treasured copy of the above work, too. Dis boi...
So
*prolific
*talented
*incredible
*ashamed at how terrible I am in comparison
HOWW
2. Matisse
--as in Henry Matisse. Recent addition to my favorites (though I recall my mom often mentioning him). Known for incredibly fine technique; also high on my list bc of how he was so good at capturing the *essence* of artistic moments. I still don't understand just how, but I rather like his stuff. A lot. It makes me smile. :)
3. Norman Rockwell
--A guy who did weekly covers for the Saturday Evening Post, and had an INCREDIBLE grasp of lifelike stuff, working from models/arrangements, and capturing MOMENTS. Has a really intriguing sort of story as well. Several books' worth of his art are somewhere around my house. ;)
4. Alexander Calder
First encountered in a local art museum exhibit (which my mother took me to) several years ago, and something about his works...stuck with younger me. How he molded and arranged and played with such solid, earthy things like metal and wood and wire--and made them into intriguing, flying, living pieces and mobiles and settings--still something I love.
(also, still really want a replica of some of his mobiles. #wishfulthinking)
5. Beatrix Potter
Perhaps a bit more unknown -- but the author known for Peter Rabbit (and much more) was also KILLER at sketching and watercolors. Especially studies and nature/botanical stuff. Look it up, you'll be amazed.
6.Van Gogh
One of the very few artists who
a) makes me feel like the art is something my hand is over -- almost painting from the flesh (if that makes sense),
and
b) makes me want to slightly cry when I look at it. Somehow, his heart and struggles and persona and sadness strike through all of his works to me, and...emotions. Quite incredible to me.
7. Diego Velazquez
INCREDIBLE painter from way back. I think I saw an exhibit of his, too -- how he does so much that up close, seems to be a slapdash of paint, but when you step back, resolves into these insane, layered, exquisite details...takes my breath away.
(also had a sense of humor sometimes hehe)
8. Edgar Degas
--dat boi most probably known most for his "ballerina" paintings. Most dancers, if you ask them, will (a) know of them, and (b) possibly like them, bc they're pretty but also often V ACCURATE as pertains to dat dancer lyfe. :-D
9. Michelangelo
...the way this guy connected with his art, and just...brought things out of it..
You know what, I'm not even gonna try and describe all the ways I love his work. It is what it is.
(OH AND HEY HE SAID COOL STUFF TOO WOW JUST KEEPS GETTING UNFAIRLY MORE AWESOME)
10. Da Vinci
...yah yah, we all know Da Vinci for his more popular works, but I actually really enjoy some of his quieter, less regaled stuff. Just saying.
❤ aND HIS SKETCHES OH MY GOODNESS HIS SKETCHES ❤
*swoons*
yah im a classical art nerd
and proud
get over it
