Sorry. I couldn't think of a real painting.

Always thought this ("Unique Forms of Continuity in Space") by Umberto Boccioni looks amazing, tho only ever seen pics not the actual thing:

ETA: His paintings were excellent too.

I like it too. There seem to be (without looking it up) loads of copies f this in various galleries as I've seen it quite a few times in different places...

Caspar David Friedrich's Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog from 1818

 

[Voley]

Always loved this:

Massive version to get the frenzied daubed on paint effect here.

Stood in front of this transfixed first time I saw it in Amsterdam.

I've always been a bit fascinated by Richard Dadd, he killed his father, then spent the rest of his life in mental asylums

This painting is only 15x25 inches

He had a fair bit of time to kill.

I've always liked that one, too, lizzie. I don't think he did a lot of stuff but this one that was thought long-lost turned up on Antiques Roadshow.

 

[marty21]

went to an Otto Dix exhibition years ago, and really liked this one.

 

[Sirena]

It's cheesy and it's populist and it's all copied from a 'how-to-paint' primer but I still can't help liking Jack Vettriano

 

[discokermit]

not a painting but,

[ska invita]

stuff I actually like

ive got a friend for whom visual images make sounds in his head (forget the name of the condition)...he says kadinskys sound the best!!

Elisabeth Frink's horses

I have to attend committee meetings every couple of months for a charity I'm involved with. A swanky company loans us a room for this purpose, gratis. It's full of Elisabeth Frink's paintings and a small Frink maquette. When I get bored I just lose myself in Frink. Lovely.​

it's synaesthia (?sp) - where you 'hear' colours...without wanting to mock the afflicted, it sounds quite cool.

Richard Long
A cloudless walk

I went to a Richard Long exhibition the first time I went to New York and ended up horribly homesick, which is unusual for me. Love his work.

at this particular moment, this Faja belt is my favourite work of art:

 

[lizzieloo]

Sleeping Gypsy by Henri Rousseau, on the wall at the foot of my bed

I also love his portraits
