As amateurs we often wonder why a certain painting is critically acclaimed and we try to make sense of it. Suddnely, someday you come across a particular artwork that changes your perception about art. I am an artist myself. My perception and views were shattered when I was stunned by the work of Man Ray, Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, and Andy Warhol. These are my favorites.
Man Ray packed a cylindrical glass tower with marbles. He packed the lid and named it 'New York'. Dali painted the memories of his dreams, the melting clocks. Share your experience of your moment of realisation, your shift of perception in terms of art.
Tell us who you appreciate and what you like in particular about that artist.

Theo van Doesburg, founder of "de Stijl" - his work gave me a whole new understanding of art.
Before that I've always thought that good paintings had to be either detailed life-like (ie. like the works of the renaissance painters - Da Vinci, Michaelangelo), or highly skilled, like Monet.
But van Doesburg and the other modern abstract artist are just amazing in that their art is so rigid and unimaginative - just straight lines, squares, boxes, primary colours - and yet it's so original and beautiful. It's like a marriage of art and mathematics, of creativity/freedom and structure. And it has a certain simplicity to it as well.

Murakami! I saw his sculptures in an old fashion magazine and theyre amazing. he said he was inspired to do the crazy smiling flowers by going to the pachinko casinos in japan because theyre so colorful and noisy! pretty cool stuff.

at the moment my favorite painter is Mark Ryden. He painted a painting called 'Rose' and i like the style. it's just a painting of a girl w/ almost white skin and straight black hair. shes got a rose in her hair. and shes crying blood. thats kind of why i like it. its different from all these old paintings ive seen. all his paintings are like that. but that is my favorite artist and painting.
