Well, I know you guys know about music, but how much do you know about art. Rather who are your three favorite artists... if you have any at all.
1) Edward Hopper
2) Georgia O'Keeffe
3) Romare Bearden
What brought this subject up for me is that I went to the Nation Gallerie of Art in DC today. It was fun besides getting evil looks from all the Bohemian-dressed people (I was wearing my high school letter jacket).

i like dali a lot. there's many other artists i really like, but unfortunately i can't remember their names offhand
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

How about... the Group of Seven?

Take that, chris mood!

Salvado Dali is deffinetly awesome, but I didn't think of him at the time. If you boys want to put 4, 8, 10 whatever. Post as many as you want. I guess I under-estimated your knowledge.

Dont know much about art but I tend to like commercial poster art, esp transport stuff, from the 20s and 30s and some daubings from the Futurist period around the same time. Tops for me are probably

2. Giacaomo Balla - Italy
3. Christopher Nevinson -UK
