Who is your favorite artist, across all forms (music, painting, etc.)? You can only pick one—so who stands out as your all-time favorite and why?
Nick Drake comes to mind
I'll look into his work
Singer songwriter who released three albums
Darius Crowd - musician My 14 year old son and this is just one of his tracks, he’s currently working on his 3rd album! https://youtu.be/PHqO7MP9Ds8?si=YKguNanNMFzNt5eB
Gian Bernini
For inventing the baroque style
Henry Lau has mad skills in so many musical areas. I automatically smile every time he picks up his violin though.
He who is considered one of the fathers of Impressionism, Claude Monet He spent his entire artistic life searching for light in the use of colour on canvas. Unattainable. https://www.finestresullarte.info/rivista/immagini/2018/911/claude-monet-impression-soleil-levant.jpg
Maalavida (Alycia Rainaud) Because... Look at my lock screen, background, and call background🤷🏽 https://image.nostr.build/178513c1508a0d8385f8d81f09aec4825508235d8724c710276181ad13f5b76c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/216d2f201e24d7c179cb56b1b540037dc6f8a96921f85cc71a3e03e22aef2342.jpg https://image.nostr.build/2b05cdb22ec3b3ef819edb673d90d0922c12a8b24fd584c643a1f307c9ae0629.jpg
Kanye; Kids See Ghosts and pretty much everything prior is so good.
Alphonse Mucha There's something about how he balances a grounded femininity with the ephemeral that I find incredibly striking. https://image.nostr.build/66e4ba514cabf750179622dc7db12a681a1e5841c0e39c2b70a5ae9b5c4b4ccb.jpg
@Cryptografitti
André Franquin, french comic artist, because he made the best comic anti-hero! Gaston Lagaffe! And also because of his dark humour comic book 'les idées noires' https://image.nostr.build/ec6afe97562b80b97645d82df3fa8be7cd086c1b12d1b9e5847107626d083296.jpg
Eddie Vedder
Pink Floyd stands out to me. My favorite album is Pulse. The Pulse live versions of Wish You Were Here, Great Gig in the Sky, and Comfortably Numb never get old.
Grateful Dead They pushed the envelope in everything they did including this wall of sound- wish bitcoin existed during their time, but oh well.. https://m.primal.net/HugY.jpg
I wanted to say Euripides, but William Shakespeare actually topped his box office numbers.
Martijn Doolaard - I love renaissance humans
