Escher is more math than Art. Although I enjoy both equally as well.

Dali, certainly my favorite, is the combination, with a little religion and sex thrown in the mix



I love Pollock, just for doing it


and the simple doodles of Picasso

Still, Dali's my favorite


I like art that makes me think it through. I love mathematical or physical abstraction, which is why Dali's hanging or warping is intriguing and confusing. Pollock is just simply confused for me I also love art that has great personal meaning to someone, and you feel a connection or understanding with what they were thinking.

There's a painting down at one of the galleries on Sutter St. that I'm just in love with. It's a fairly sloppy blurry, oil painting overlooking an SF skyline. Having moved from England to California when I was young, San Francisco represented the entire country to me as a child. It represented the big american dream, and my new future. Especially the Transamerica tower, which has great sentimental meaning to me too. That painting, even though not physically acurate, captures a ton of what San Francisco, California, the USA, the rest of the world, and hence most of my adult life represent to me. I'm not sure if that's what the artist was going for, but it sure does make me think.

That, and I like pretty colors.

My favorite Dali work. Ever look into de Chirico or Magritte. That's were Dali got some of his ideas.
