The Baroque and the Renaissance go hand in hand. While some postulate that certain movements are born out of a confrontation with a the preceeding aesthetic, the Baroque is much easier to understand as an extension, a twisting and exaggeration of the Renaissance. If the Renaissance is a piece of soft pink taffy (all cute and rectangle with a nice white stripe down the middle), the Baroque is that piece of taffy pulled and twisted, even a bit slobbery at times. It's still taffy but... from http://www.earlham.edu/~chriss/Notes/baroque.htm

Anyways, thank you!

Cheers,

I like the work of Zhao Bandi (aka Pandaman)

http://www.shanghart.com/artists/zhaobandi/default.htm

It's quite humourous and cute.

The work of that Rasher chap reminds me a bit of the work of Stanley Spencer.

Salvadore Dali or H. R. Gieger, Andy Warhol was good however his art is starting to look rather dated and not truly classic due to countless reproductions and the fabled "pop art" culture.

My favourite rennaisance artist has to be Rembrandt.

I can't remember the name of the artist, but I went to an exhibition in France some years ago of an artist who painted Arabic calligraphy.

I have a print somewhere. If I can find it I'll post his name.

A favourite of mine is Bridget Riley

I particularly like this:

And these:

Here's the Google image search:

I'm not so keen on the black and white optical illusion/op art style ones though.

This boy makes me so proud. He is really talented. This is a sample of his Art GCE A level work. On canvas 1.2m X 0.6m. This is his prosopography (his face) using just one finger. He is devoted to painting for the last 5 years. He is 18 now.
