Among artists active in the 20th century, I really only like a few — the realistic painters (and some of the PRB-associated painters) at the very beginning of the century, the relative handful of realistic and pin-up painters, and Salvador Dali. :’)
I like realists also but IMO Picasso was very talented. I do appreciate his “Blue” period. Dali was a real character and I liked that he made fun of himself in TV commercials.
I like Rossetti; but my favorite of the PRB is Edward Burne-Jones; especially ‘Love and the Pilgrim’, and ‘Love Among the Ruins’.
