Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I’ve currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.
Bruegel the Elder is pretty neat. Not my favorite period of art, but his little details are so incredible.
Have you ever read the Michael Frayn novel, Headlong? It’s about a guy who thinks he’s found the missing 6th painting in Bruegel’s series (which I think is called The Seasons?) and is trying to work out how to buy it from its unsuspecting owner :-)
