Can /ic/ agree on one thing? Can you name a good artist? Can

Craig Mullins.

your entertainment vessel In two words.

I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Bernini. He's inhumanly skilled and his work is very appealing to a broad base of people.

In terms of painters probably someone like Rembrandt is going to be the most universally loved artist. He was a master of both technique and of having emotion in his art (as opposed to someone like Sargent who was 11/10 for technique but many people find his artwork is just superficial).

Anyone living will have their fair share of fans and haters, so you need to delve into art history.

Sargent seems generally agreed upon.

That's easy mode. I think we need to find a more contemporary artist maybe not >>2760159 whose work is obviously good but he has always struck me as a bit boring, there's not a lot truly unique about his work.

I vote Feng Zong

>>2760184
He's not an artist anymore... he's dead. No voting for ghosts, this place is spooky enough.

Pre-raphaelite painters are good. Working in difficult media, interesting subject matter, aesthetically pleasing, heavy realistic rendering while having this dream-like quality in their art...

I'm thinking Waterhouse or Burne-Jones.

Also Millais has bonus points for fucking wife of art critic that defended pre-raphealites and then stealing her as his own wife. And Ruskin STILL was for pre-raphaelites after that.

Nigger plz. Try again.

Steve Huston is a hunk of man that is good at depicting hunky men.

Current industry artists? Off the top of my head

Syd Mead
Nathan Fowkes
Cory Loftis
Armand Serrano
Shiyoon Kim
Akira Toriyama

>>2760751
>Akira Toriyama

Came here to say this, love that guy.

>>2762480

He suffers from terrible sameface though. At least the one piece guy (Oda) only same faces women.

>>2762488
I'll agree with that, every Toriyama character that isn't an alien looks the same. Something about Oda's style has always bugged me, I don't know what.

Rembrandt

>>2760712
Holy shit that's amazing

He is dead, but I think Bob Ross was fit for the "Good painter" title. Also he cured my depression multiple times.

>>2762516
>Bob Ross
He's a good person but I don't think anyone actually thinks he's a good artist in any sense of the word.

Not him, but the work Yang Qi and Fengshua have done on this obscure chinese monkey king MMO is more creative and fresh than anything I've ever seen from any western concept artist.

>Moebius
>Kim Jung GI
>Katsuya Terada

Even if not universally liked i'm pretty sure most agree that they're are (were) very good at what they do.

Mathias Verhasselt "current senpai for digital paint"

You Yoshinari "based yoshinari what else to say"

ilya kuvshinov "yeah yeah the sellout but I gotta give to him, that work ethic, dosh and living in tokyo is pretty sweet"

Guweiz "his growth is impressive to me"

There is no overrated, mediocre, boring, meme, hack artist to me.

It's either they do or do not work. And if they appeal to me.

>>2762731
fuck off weeb

>>2760157
the new meme artists :^)

>can anyone objectify this really subjective thing?

that's how dumb you sound.

>>2760157

Bougereau and Bernini are objectively some of the most skilled artists of all time. If I had to pick a painter, though, it would be a hard choice between Bougereau and Caravaggio.
