It's gotta be Zdzislaw Beksinski for me. If you don't know him do yourself a favor and look him up.

dumping some more beksinski
>>2947307
Can you fuck off with these threads already? I swear there is a new Beksinski thread every week trying to promote him as this obscure artist with godlike skills. We know who he is, he's not anywhere near GOAT, people who love his work are edgelords who aren't artists, and please go away.
>>2947307
How could anyone not know him with all the newfags spamming him all the time?
>>2947340
>>2947342
haha sorry fellas i've only been browsing this place for a week or so. still, who's your goat artist?
>>2947340
no one is greatest.
But you cant deny that this man had serious artistic vision.
>>2947357
>>2947372
this begs the question:
would he have been an /ic/ shitposting autist like the rest of us?
you can check out more of this on these two albums:

is there any artist that satisfies /ic/ standards?
I've seen people call da vinci shit tier on here multiple times
>>2947493
Da Vinci was pretty much the definition of failed artist at his times.
>>2947493
just the korean box
Whenever I get stuck on drawing something I look at his work because he always had the answer.
>>2947493
does this answer your question?
>>2947496
and now he has everlasting immortality
>>2947503
who?
>>2947506
dump more and gimme a name
Hiroaki Samura is probably my top idol.
>>2947508
>he can't recognize Moebius in a glance.
Wow, you are pretty new here.
>>2947307
It would be better if you didn't post your own pick in the OP thread when asking who others' GOAT artists are, otherwise it becomes a thread about the artist you mention, and not about the actual question.
>>2947523
ill keep that in mind
>>2947507
Kim jung gi
>calling bazingski goat while only posting his most intro-tier work
Cmon son
I'll post some rares when I get home
>>2947507
Thats honestly the most important image on this board
>>2947307
>It's gotta be Zdzislaw Beksinski for me.
Why? Just declaring it means nothing: why is this guy better than all the rest to you?
>>2947383
Shitposting is just projection an sense of an inferior ego.
Most artist with that sort of sensibility are mature human beings capable of expressing their ideas and thoughts in the most sincere honest way.
They wouldnt have time for that sort of petty mentality.
so, no.
>>2948180
didnt even bother to check my speling mistakes, but its the internet, right?
Sargent comes pretry darn close to GOAT
>>2947506
Moebius is a god
>>2948168
it's mostly subjective but his work speaks to me in a way that no other artist can. work like his can only be inspired from his experiences (growing up during ww2) and cant just be made up.
he's able to capture a multitude of emotions but none better than despair. his art is everything surrealists should try to achieve.
that's why he's my personal favorite artist.

Remember when people used to have to lurk before they started shitting up boards?
>>2949377
>"i am part of the 4chan elite!"

This is the major difference between old /ic/ and new /ic/ as well as declining boards in general. It explains why this board continues to hit new lows of cancer even when it seemed to hit rock bottom years ago.
The culture of lurking before posting is not there to foster a secret-society-only-for-initiates mentality (not exclusively at least) but it performs a more vital function than that: discouraging newfags from starting worthless threads, from posting shit opinions and above all from affecting the board culture (inevitably for the worse). "Lurk more, faggot" is the immune response that prevents board cancer from metastizing and leading to board death. Newfags will join and make shit threads that will in turn be copied by the next wave of newfags.
Of course none of this matters anymore, since the damage already done is irreversible but these are all things you would know if you weren't a non-lurking newfag.
John Sloan based on painting.
Cassatt If I had to pick a woman.
Caravaggio based on life choices.

yeah you can't pull that "first come first serve" shit on anonymous image boards. opinions don't suddenly become "shittier" because of a few different anons, they're just no longer streamlined for one particular group.
also you're implying there's room for more cancer when the body itself is the cancer.
>>2947383
You're using "begs the question," inappropriately. It doesn't mean what you think it means.
>>2949772
Regardless of whether you personally like it or not, this is the difference between the old /ic/ and current /ic/ and chans in general. There's a distinct personality-type that comes to a board, acts entitled and expects to be spoonfed about every little thing. 100% of posts about "not going to make it", "Bridgman/Vilppu/Hogarth is shit (because I don't understand them)" and sour grapes artist drama are made by this type of poster.
What you're essentially saying is that since the board was full of shitty posts/threads when you got here this should be the norm, and since you felt no need to assimilate to a board culture no one else should either. However lurk before posting is an antiquated attitude at this point and I don't expect it to ever return.
>>2949518
lurk more faggot.
