Subject: Some Favorites - not quite as requested

Ok I have found listing 10 works a useless and frustrating task -
instead I am listing 10 (or so) of my top (it was 100 but who knows
really) favorite artists - don't ask me if these are the top 10 - I
don't know - It was awful to have to limit the list this far

Gianlorenzo Bernini

Jacques Lipschitz -
A commercially very successful cubist and great buddies with picasso and
others of that time - he stopped working about 1910 for over 5 years.
He was quoted as saying that he realized that his father who was a brick
mason took bricks and created homes from them but what he was doing was
taking life and reducing it to a brick - with that realization he left
the cubist style and recreated his artistic outlook.

.Artemisia Gentileschi

the artist)

Hiroshige Ando
Hokusai Katsushika (I love ukiyoe art these two are clear masters but
there are many other artists of this genre I would include on my list)

find the artist

Although Michaelangelo Bonnarti is not on my list - He was the creator
of one of my favorite sculptures - it was a clay piece entitled
'crouching boy' which I did a study of some 40 years ago

I can't believe how difficult this was and how upset I am that so many
names are not on here who deserve to be like the ancient greek who
created a small sculpture which was in a glass case on the 3rd floor of
the Met in NY (to say nothing of the folks who did the marbles
downstairs) or Henry Moore who definately belongs here brancuzzi or
rodin (even if he didn't carve his own stone work) who also do escher
and degas and mary cassat too or how about the ancient who painted the
caves at lascoix (sp) - sheesh maybe a top 500 ??? and hey what about
Picasso's goat?
