Sounds interesting Bren.
I personally am, with the exception of 2 artists, not a paticular fan of a paticular artist or style. As the quote goes "I know what i like!!"
Some "modern" abstract art does nothing for me such as Damien Hirst's Coloured Circles but I can also say the same about some of the old masters.
The only two artists that i love and would visit exhibitions to see are Salvador Dali - I think his pictures are amazing and can look at them numerous times without seeing it in the same way twice
and
L.S. Lowry - his pictures are incredible adn so full of real human life. i ahve a print of "Going To the Match" on my stairs wall and everytime i look at it, I see soemthing new that i hadn't noticed before.
In terms of architecture, i ahve heard of frank lloyd Wright but cannot remember what he designed. Some buildings i thinka re amazing such as Spence's Cathedral in Coventry but to be honest, I find a lot of "new" building s to be quite boring. i much prefer the work of people such as Wren and the old, intricate buildings like St Pauls Cathedral in London.
I also like the ancient art like the roman villas and mosaics.
To open a whole new area up: What do people think fo sculptures? I like Henry Moore but am really unimpressed by modern art "installations" such as Emin's Bed, Hirst's Cow in Formaldehyde and the like.
