For the record, Dali's work belongs to the surrealist school, not the
abstract.

I won't admit to knowing any style or form of art. I just like what I like. One
of my favorite artists is Francis Bacon.

His art, as delightfully disturbing as it is, does not compare to Francis
Bacon. LOVE IS THE DEVIL ...great film!
Study for a Crouching Nude, IMHO was brought to life in LitD.

... well, actually Dali did flirt with abstraction with Cubism,
Futurism and Metaphysical painting, being a contemporary of Miro and
Picasso, before settling on his signature style from 1929 onwards.
If you're a fan of Dali then a trip to his house/museum in
Figueres, Spain is a must.

... I'd probably say my favourite was Edvard Munch. He struck a
cord when I was a young goth back in the mid-80's and I still find his
work alluring. Plus, I liked the fact that he was so nuts by the end
of his life he used to whip his paintings if they'd been naughty!

A good all-purpose artist site is the Artchive:

I can't remember who did the fourteen black paintings (name is
just there, but I can't quite think of it) but that particular set of
pictures is extremely disturbing, and very cool.
Otherwise, I am a sucker for big stupid public artworks,
especially ones I can walk through and walk around. Melbourne has
some excellent stuff all over the place. You literally cannot walk
half a block in the centre of town without encountering some public
art. One of my favourites was hated by nearly everyone when it was
new, twenty or so years ago - Vault, a big yellow thing that Bec and I
have renamed The Crashed Vogon Spacehip. Pic and story here:
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/10/02/1033538671587.html
One of our new ones is suppoed to be a gigantic eagle, but it
looks like a parrot. I don't care - I like it! It is huge and
stupid, the way public art should be:
http://www.docklands.com/int_art/eagle.shtml
Huge, stupid, and extremely clever is even better. We have an
amazing public artwork next to one of our freeways (no picture, worry
- not a clue what it is called) which consists of a lot os cable
strung up between two very tall poles. The cables form a radial
pattern, with a vanishing point in the centre, and pieces of metal
ssuspended from the cables for a beautiful line-drawing of a city
street, in typical technical-drawing class vanishing point
perspective. It's huge, and it's flat, even though it depicts a 3D
scene.
Okay, I'll stop babbling now.

Joel Peter Witkin - photographer, but he works in reverse. As opposed to
painters who work from photos, he does a painting as a blueprint for an
eventual photograph. His stuff is fucking mad, he also uses human bodies or
body parts.

On a lighter note my mate does kind of Pop Art style paintings of stars:

I really do love Salvador Dali's painting. I also enjoy M.C. Escher, H.R. Giger,
and Kandinsky.

Love is the Devil has to be one of the best fictionalised accounts of
an artist's life ever made. It was actually aided by the Francis Bacon
Estate's
refusal to allow the paintings themelves to be represented in the
film. Mayberry
then just made the film look like several of them. Dyer's fate is
dealt with
this way and it is devastating.
When I saw a brief scene from the film on a tv show here I saw Jacobi
and
thought they'd made a documentary about Bacon. He doesn't just
resemble him
though, he gives one of his strongest performances.
Good to see another fan of the film (and Bacon's work).

P.S. Milo Manara's illustrations of sexy women in strange situations (in
Heavy Metal magazine & his own books) were a big hit in high school.

My favorite Dali painting is "The Persistence of Memory".

>what art do you enjoy?
I love surrealist art.
Favorite artists: Leonora Carrington; Dorothea Tanning; Kay Sage; Max Ernst;
Rene Magritte.
I was trying to find a pic of a painting called "Success to the Glazier" by
Alberto Matta, which is one of my faves, but there doesn't seem to be much on
the web about him.
I found these two by Leonora Carrington:
