Not actually my no 1 favourite Schiele, but most of the others are pretty NSFW
Basquiat- definitely one of those paintings that look better in real life than a photo- it’s huge when you see it in person, about 4m long and there’s different layers of colour
Remedios Varo- less well known Surrealist
Wish I had an answer for this
Good thread!
Not sure I have a fave painting which is making me question myself.
Might be this series:
Barnett Newman’s Stations Of The Cross
This is the first one in the series:
argh didn’t mean to reply
Was going to post this.
You’re going to have to enrol on 4 years of art school now, and then come back with an answer.
Do you ever think Casper David Friedrich got fed up of painting mist and fog?
Again - not sure about a favourite (other than really obvious stuff like Edward Hopper).
The last painting I saw that made a memorable impact was this one (when I went to the National Portrait Gallery in June):
Sounds like a whole thing.
I purchased this about two years ago, does that count:
L’origin du monde
maybe once.
I went to a place in Madrid and documented all the dogs from the paintings once, do they count?

Barnett Newman’s Stations Of The Cross[/quote]
Never heard of him/her but that’s quality.
Paintings which make a big impact on me are few and far between but I could’ve stared at this Pollock for hours.
Malevich’s black square on the cover there is pretty eerie when you see it in real life. I went to the exhibition at the Tate a little while ago, and they had it hung in it’s original presentation. Public buildings in Russia in those days used to have a religious icon hung in a corner by the ceiling, and he hung a big black square up there instead at his show as a kick in the face at the church, which is why people made such a fuss about it at the time.
