Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I’ve currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.
JC Leyendecker
Best known for his commercial works, especially ads for the Arrow Collar company. I love the style and linework. Gorgeous stuff. Interesting personal story too, as a very obviously gay man at a time when that was not safe to express.
Edit: My wife, a painter herself, says hers are Modigliani and Schiele.
