Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.O'keefe was a substantial painter who I had the pleasure to meet at her home in Taos, NM in 1972. If you enjoy impressionism I would recommend that you look up the work of Mary Cassatt, although she was not an impressionist, her work has a great sympathy with them...

A second vote for Cassatt, who was both a phenomenally talented painter and a very interesting woman. If she gets a mention, the other two of les trois grandes dames of impressionism Berthe Morisot and Marie Bracquemond deserve one too!
Edward Hopper
Jackson Pollock
Jeffrey Smart (Australian)
Wassily Kandinsky
Andy Warhol

If you like the line of Modigliani, you might enjoy the work of Dame Barbara Hepworth, a contemporary of his and Henry Moore who I believe influenced each other...

@Dawgismygawd I'm a big fan of both!
A fella down the road from me,did a good job painting my shed. His name is Clyde.

De Kooning, Still, Bacon, Dali, Freud...and others
@Dawgismygawd knew a guy that created holograms for the film 'logan's run'...soon after it's release, dali contacted him and asked him to make a few holograms for him. !!!! he agrees, duh, and dali shows up, stipulating that no extra copies be created than the number created for him. can you freaking imagine? of course, he made a copy for himself. lol. i've seen the two created- but never anywhere else..one of dali and one of a woman with a tiger. i suppose he was watching how joe worked, b/c it wasn't long until dali started creating his own. very cool to have an inkling into dali's process..even just a bit..
chris johansen, kyle ranson, maya hayuk, james gayles....like, lorna simpson, the new guard and end of the 20th ..worth mentioning and discovering.
I'm kind of picking at random here, because there are so many greats to pick from, but these are some standouts:
- Andrew Wyeth
- Georgia O'Keeffe
- Edvard Munch*
- Norman Rockwell
- Salvador Dalí
*Yes, I know The Scream was painted in the late 1800s, but Munch was still a 20th century painter, so that's my loophole for selecting it as my representative work from him. ?

There are five versions of The Scream - a pastel and a painting from 1893, a lithograph and a pastel from 1895 and a painting in tempera from 1910, so it counts as an 19th Century painting and a 20th Century painting! The one you've posted, incidentally, is the painting from 1893, the most recognised example.
Frida Kahlo, Andrew Wyeth, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Grant Wood

Love Kahlo, Wood and Dali,.... Just don't get Picasso though. Would Frank Loyd Wright count as an artist?
@KurtZeller Sort of..he's my hero in architecture. I'm related to Pablo Picasso through my dad, and my daughter is a professional artist who looks like his clone when he was seventeen!
Georgia O'Keeffe, Hopper, Mucha, Matisse, Lempicka, and de Tirtoff, as far as 2-d goes. Also Henry Moore, Calder.

His work is amazing! I love jacek yerka.
@davyjones I would say so!! haha!! I thought to myself, "hmm seems Davy and I like similiar artists!" My ex husband is quite good, for a non-pro but he is up and coming in the LA scene. Hes been there for decades. His name is Clinton Neuhaus. We have a daughter together that is an Animation artist. I also have a best friend who is amazing. She was in Chicago for awhile but moved to New York last year. You might enjoy her work too, Julia Haw. I tend to surround myself with artists and/or intellectuals. lol
I was going to say something about nobody picking Bob Ross, but then I remembered that we Brits of a certain age had our own daytime TV painter - Nancy Kominsky!

David Hockney, Andrew Wyeth, Matisse, Miro, Pollock. I'm sure there are others but those are just the ones that sprang to mind. Did anyone say Thomas Kinkade? Eesh.

Andre Derain (1880 -1954) (only the Fauve Period) , Arshille Gorky (1904 - ! 928), Yves Klein (1928 - 1962), Yayoi Kusama (1929 - present day ), Bidgette Riley (1931 - present day). . . . . So that's Traffic Collison at 74, Suicide at 24, Heart Attack at 34 and two living women approaching 90 . Wow !
