Ernst Kirchner
Michelangelo
Robert Rauschenberg
Mark Rothko
Its hard to pick five, i could sit here and change out artists for two hours and be no closer to a real answer. But i'll leave it at these guys for now, since they were the first five to come into my head as being favorites.

Re: Top 5
Thu, June 26, 2008 - 3:22 PMOh, god... I have to think of this tonight?!
It would be easier to list my 5 favorite museums...
(and, jesus, Bronzino is hard to top)
David Caspar Friedrich
- because he embodies everything I imagined Romanticism was supposed to be when I was a kid.
Durer
- because I grew up with him, loved him as a child, almost feel his drawings were made for children, and then, every time I see them again, realize how pure and how extraordinary his works are, works that speak also to adults
Thomas Eakins
- because he's sexy, because he's spiritual in the most material sense, because he studied, and studied, and studied the body, and only tried to represent bodies, and yet, still, something completely ethereal comes through his figures.
Cy Twombly
- because he does with words what other people do with images
Francis Bacon
- because, like Eakins, he makes something very physical, and only physical, spiritual
Voila. I lived in France for ten years, and out of 5, one's American, two are German, and two, Brits.
May I ammend to the question: And Why? -

Re: Top 5
Mon, June 29, 2009 - 12:18 PMLatecomer to this thread, but in the spirit of wanting Tribe to get livelier, and good conversation starts at home, top five of the moment, but ask me tomorrow:
John Dugdale, because his lush cyanotypes are one of the gutsiest queer appropriations of Christian iconography, the themes of the transcendental and heroic in American art, and of the nineteenth-century tradition of art photography (and especially of Cameron) I can imagine.
Paul Klee, because no one unites a sense of play and whimsy with impeccable formal sense like him.
Frans Hals, because he imparts more life with the slightest inflection of his brush than most people walking around the streets manifest.
Palladio, for the Villa Rotonda and the Venetian churches and La Malcontenta, and for what Joseph Losey made of the Villa Rotonda in his film of Don Giovanni.
Monet, the incomparable poet of light and its continuous alchemy
