and another Basquiat, Bacon, Klee, Dubuffet, Louise Bourgeois, David Smith, Rodchenko, Tadanori Yoko, Joseph Cornell, Fernando Botero, and another artist named Olafur Eliasson, I do not know how to write in Russian, but he is a genius.

JM-G, you genuinely like Basquiat?? so honestly, honestly? Please explain why then?

[JM-G]

honestly, honestly, yes. I think the most important thing - that he works very sincere and emotional. yet he himself was a very interesting man. He was an incredibly handsome man, fit to make any glamor, but it such a powerful, vibrant works created without worrying about their "beauty or the interior. I also like the fact that he made his creativity to draw attention to the art of graffiti, this is a great achievement. There are masterpieces are sometimes.
generally like everything associated with expressionism.

I also had the good fortune last summer to get to the exhibition of artist Alexandra Grant, I liked her very much. I can say that it is also one of the favorite. She is very powerful work.

I do not know what about appearance Basque Country, but for me his work is a product of the American "politically correct PR" and nothing more.

perhaps to its merits and include the fact that he drew attention to the graffiti, but to build it in the rank of religious art is absolutely inappropriate. This feeling that we admire the 5-year old baby, who resigned a pyramid of cubes, and seemingly all of this have already seen, but he folded it the first time and why he is such a fellow.

Was Warhol, who invented a whole new pop art. He may like it, do not like, but the merit of the innovation should be noted.

And what merit Basques? that he began to paint graffiti on a canvas? and, if found among the graffiti is really very interesting things, the work Basques something interesting is extremely rare ...

[JM-G]

about innovation - yes, the work of Basquiat is not something that is unique, but not all the same to be innovators.
I personally like it when art - it is "raw". I saw many pictures Basquiat live, and they produce a very strong impression.
Another point that must not be forgotten - that in the works of Basquiat reflected the aspirations of many African Americans. despite the notorious "political correctness" in America is thriving latent racism. that is a big problem.
I have seen many pictures of Africans (and African-Americans) 30-bit and 40-ies. many of them depicted scenes of oppression of black and white. I think they contributed mightily to the Basques. what's wrong with that, he enjoys the raw visual language of his "people" rather than expressive means adopted by whites? and I would not say that the art of Basquiat is very simple, in fact, it is very inventive. as much about expression and emotion, I am silent.

Well, you give, such lists are large, it does not seem to "favorite artist" and to "open-mindedness."
Now that theme active lives - let us then with pictures, even enlightened. Here is an example of remarkable Lansky.
In the "gallery" in Eritazhe prices, though not - sorry.

[Meister]

I immediately began to argue about modern art, and still I do not agree with
JM-G, that the art Basques inventive, but you can argue about it endlessly ... this is probably a matter of taste.

Here's my list of favorite artists:
1. Magritte
2. Filonov
3. Tanga, Bosch

And dozens more that I really like

[Glasha]

For me painting, which I love, begins with the Impressionists (anxiety, palpitations ..)
almost all of that before this period, I look calm, you can say, cold-eyed (foresee disturbances)
if really the most-most, then:
  Vincent Van Gogh
  Toulouse Lautrec,
  Konstantin Korovin,
  Lebedev VV
(and many, many more .......)
