I remember Garfield the most. I loved that comic, now I don't read the paper.

I don't go to art galleries, but I have enjoyed it the few times I have gone.

I love Dali the most, I think. I also like Josephine Wall quite a lot.

1) Peanuts, There Oughta Be A Law, and Mr. Tweedy (the title of the last might be misspelled)

2) Sometimes

3) I don't have one

The Boston Globe carried Lil' Abner, a cartoon about Hillbillies. I enjoyed that cartoon until I was grown and became a long distance operator. One of our rudest,nastiest customers was the cartoonist responsible for Lil' Abner. He would treat us as if we were his personal employees, "Get me New York!" as if we should know who he wants and what the number was. If we asked for those 'details' he would curse and insult us. We had standing instructions to transfer him to the head operator if he did this and she would chew him out!!! He was the meanest SOB I've ever come across!!

Yes, I enjoy the MFA in Boston and even took classes there in my teens!

Degas and Vincent Van Gogh.

I would have to say Superman with The Fantastic Four a close second. :)

I would say yes I do.

I prefer the classics aka Rembrandt and the likes.
Hugs, Jon

Superman (I'm currently flying west 11km up...)
Yes
Don't know, I like a lot of them. Probably renaissance best.

I was very into Peanuts. Had the stuffed Snoopy doll and tons of outfits for him. I might get a tattoo at some point.

I do, very much. I wish my back problems weren't the kind that are exacerbated by standing around and walking slowly, because I love visual art but I always end up with a backache.

It's hard to pick, but Surrealism and Cubism are way up there. MC Escher is a fav, too.

[dark-phoenix54.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Probably the stuff in MAD magazine. In my teens, it was The Avengers.

Oh, yes!

The pre-Raphaelites. No one else comes even close.

Garfield. :D

Heck no. Get bored easily...

Reniassance. Stark colors with odds splashes of light and oil-painted reality within fantasy!

What comic strip or comic do you most remember growing up?

I loved Peanuts while I was growing up, but I also saved my allowance and bought comic books - mostly Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Phantom Stranger - loved Phantom Stranger. My mother ended up tossing most of my comics, but over years I have managed to reacquire most of my Phantom Stranger issues once more.

Do you like walking around art galleries?

Art galleries and museums are my favorite places to go. I plan trips to other cities specifically to go to exhibits.

What is you favourite artist or art period?

I adore art of all periods, but I love enamel work, costumery and fine art by numerous artists. If I had to pick one, I'd go crazy for an exhibit of Lalique, I would have loved to attend the Andrew McQueen exhibit that I posted about within the past month, and I adored the Kandinsky exhibit I saw two years ago in the Milwaukee Art Museum. I love art - just love it in all of its aspects.

I love Lalique. There are lots of pieces of his work just around and about as decorations in Sacre Coeur! I was quite suprised having been there a few times before that I had never noticed them. This time once I had noticed the first one, I realised that they were all over!

Peanuts, Garfield and Foxtrot

I love art galleries as long as the guards aren't being annoying or there's a tour...

Keith Haring, John Singer Sargent and Van Gogh...also almost everyone Disney has at their art gallery in Disney Springs:

They're also on Instagram.

Comic strip - Peanuts and Garfield and if we're talking comic books, there isn't time for all that.

I like walking around art galleries but I'll admit to not really liking 'modern art' where the art is a bunch of paint splashed on the canvas or is a pair of panty hose with a basketball jammed in the waistband

I'm very fond of Dali and surrealism.

[oakmouse]

Pogo. It had a huge influence on me, and remains an important part of my mental furniture.

I love walking around art galleries, always supposing the exhibit is worth bothering with.

My favorite artist is Hokusai, especially his manga. I couldn't get art periods down to just one... too many good periods in too many different countries/cultures!

[engarian.livejournal.com]

Hokusai is so precise and balanced. I adore his art.

- Erulisse (one L)

[oakmouse]

His manga sketches show the most complete, unerring mastery of line and shape. They're just stunning --- raw talent in perfect form.

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

Betty and Veronica, Archie, Cathy, and Peanuts.

Yes! If there's a cafe.

Van Goah, Picasso, Dali, Georgia O'Keeffe

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

I am glad i am not the only one that loves he art of O'Keeffe.

[dancingdragon3.livejournal.com]

LOL, funny you say that, cause I'm planning a post of a bit of her work tomorrow.

I read the Beano for several years when I was in primary school. I remember it was at that time that they did one of their very rare long arcs, when Gnasher disappeared and turned out to have run away with a poodle to have puppies.

I like art galleries a lot - always try and do a couple while on holiday. I like surrealism and art nouveau. I find there's a quite narrow window for me, both pure representational stuff which tries to look like a photograph, and purely abstract stuff bore me.

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

Peanuts!

Oh Yes!

The painter and printmaker, Giorgio Morandi.

[sabotabby]

I didn't get into comics as a thing until I was a teenager, but comic strip, hmm. Probably Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes, and Doonesbury, though neither of the former made as much of an impact on me as they seem to have on my peers.

Yes, love it!

My favourite artist is Kathë Kollwitz, and my favourite art period is early 20th century modernism, particularly German and Russian. Close run-ups are Otto Dix and George Grosz.

[altamira16.livejournal.com]

Peanuts, Garfield, and Calvin and Hobbes. Of these, Calvin and Hobbes is still really great. Garfield is formulaic, and I can see that predictability appealing to children, but I do not enjoy it any more.

I do like walking around some art galleries especially the ones that take the time to explain what is being seen. I like having some context.

I really liked Salvador Dali and M.C. Escher when I was younger, but I have never seen their works in person. I liked some of the pre-Raphaelites too.

[restoman.livejournal.com]

Pogo (I guess I am showing my age here...). Later on, Mad Magazine.
I enjoy art galleries.
Favorite artists: Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, Frederick Church. All of whom were part of the "Hudson River School" of art. I like the Romantic Period in general.

Oor Wullie. - we used to get the Sunday Post :)

Very much so! Many of my trips to other places are to go to exhibitions. And having attended art college I have seen a lot of good art and also a lot of pretentious art over the years!

My love of art is as immense as my love of music! I like everything from cave art to Tracy Emin. If I had to pick then I have always liked Patrick Hughes' bright screen prints (my rainbow icon is one of his), Bridget Rileys Op art, proper aboriginal art that tells a story within it, Salvador Dali, Turner, oh the list could go on!!
I love sculpture and my favourites are Henry Moore and Bridget Riley.
In glasswork I love Lalique.
There are lots of Photographers I like.
I am friends with quite a few fantastic artists on LJ who post their work up. my favourite being lukyanovart who paints scenes from his local area in Ukraine.
