Corner View : Favorite Fine Artist

Hello, Corner Viewers!

I have been MIA and without internet, but I'm back! And with that, back in school for one more semester. (Anyone know of marketing/HR/management jobs in DC or Atlanta!?) Here goes!

I can't pick my favorite fine artist, as is today's theme. I do like Salvador Dali's Persistence of Memory as well as Metamorphosis of Narcissus - the style is crisp and has volumes of underlying meaning. But truly, I love, love pictures of boats and harbors and masts with sails. I typically dislike photos of flowers, as there are entirely too many and very few are distinctive. Still life pictures remind me of elementary school art class, but architecture can capture my attention for hours. I've often wondered, "what's the big deal!?" when I see the real deal from Picasso or Matisse. However, I think Jeff Koons has some pretty cool pieces, and Frank Gehry even inspires jewelry from Tiffany that I'd wear, though none of these considered "fine" by the trained artist. I usually base what to buy on what grabs my eye as I pass by a sea of look-alikes, and when I've traveled before my one regret has been not bringing back more artwork. Now when I travel again, I'll work on that ;)
