Who is your favorite painter and why?

I have gone through phases of appeciation that included Dali and Gustav Moreau and Arnold Bocklin, mainly for their arcane and odd subject matter (in addition to technical excellence). Now, I tend more toward Edward Hopper, who has an almost blunt, plain method of depiction that is very interior, and emotionally abstract, nonetheless. He visualizes solitude, I'd say.

Picasso, Dali, Kahlo and any other eccentric painters ever. Because they are not afraid to express themselves in a very eccentric way.

Peter the elder. His stuff is dark.

Rembrandt. Eye for detail.

William Bouguereau because there is some sort of tenderness in his paintings.

Me, because it would be sad if it was not for me.
