Great subject to start. Lots of cool art out there to discover.

Here are some of my favourites

Mark Rothko

Gerhard Richter

William Eggelston

I'm also really lucky as I get to work directly with artists/art galleries designing their books and exhibition catalouges...

cool, the fact that banksys exhibit in bristol was the most popular thing to ever to hit the museum is a testament to the fact people like his stuff, and its definetly thought provoking and making a statment so if thats art then call me an art lover... lol.

@ Mambo: To me, if i can see something in the piece and it evokes a thought or emotion, then it did it's job.. . so yes, I would classify Mr. B as an artist.

I'm going through a Dali phase at the moment. There's a really cool exhibition in Edinburgh about the surrealists, it's got a few awesome dali pics, I can't remember the names of any of them, so I can't post any pics (dumbass)

My favourite dali pic is this though:

And Margritte has some cool stuff too...

Isn't that what the purpose of ART is... to make a personal statement/interpretation?
... even if the statement is to "not make a statement".
