Top Ten Most Popular Fine Artists
Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890)
Born in Zundert, Netherlands, Vincent Van Gogh is the most important figure in the Post-Impressionism art movement. Van Gogh only started painting in the last decade of his life. He was initially influenced by Jean-Francois Millet and Paul Signac, before establishing Post-Impressionism with Paul Gauguin and Paul Cezanne. Van Gogh painted some 90 paintings in the last two months of his life, before being committed to a mental asylum and committing suicide.
Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
Born in Malaga, Spain, Pablo Picasso is almost universally considered to be the greatest modern artist. He was trained in an academic realist style by his father, who was a painter. After moving to Paris, Picasso's Blue and Rose Periods evolved, named for the dominate colors in his palette then. Influenced by Cezanne, Picasso invented Cubism along with Georges Braque. Later, Picasso painted in a more syncretic style that can't be pigeon-holed in any one school. Picasso's drawings exhibit the excellence and freedom of his draughtsmanship.
Claude Monet (1840 - 1926)
Born in Paris, France, Claude Monet was one of the principal founders of the Impressionism art movement, along with Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro. The Impressionists mostly believed in painting en plein air, outside in nature and not cooped up in a studio. It is after Monet's painting, Sunrise, Impression, painted in 1872-1873, that the Impressionism movement was named, initially as a taunt by an art critic.
Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918)
Born in Baumgarten, near Vienna in Austria, Gustav Klimt was one of the principal founders of the Sezession (or Secession) art movement, along with Egon Schiele and Oscar Kokoschka. Klimt is included in the Art Nouveau art movement. He is best known for his murals painted for public buildings in and around Vienna, which were criticized for their sensual content.
Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987)
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Andy Warhol is the most important artist in the Pop Art movement. Initially working as an illustrator and commercial artist, Warhol, working mostly with silk screen prints, transformed the commercial iconography of popular culture into fine art statements. Some of his most famous Pop Art works depict Campbell's Soup cans, Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse, Coca-Cola, Life Savers, and other iconic figures and brands. Other important Pop Artists include Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns.
Salvador Dali (1904 - 1999)
Born in Figueros, in Catalonia, Spain, Salvador Dali is the most important representative of the Surealism art movement. After coming to Paris in 1926, he was initially influenced by fellow Spaniard Pablo Picasso and Cubism, but later joined the Surrealist movement. He's probably the second-most famous 20th century artist, behind Picasso.
Ansel Adams (1902 - 1994)
Born in San Francisco, California, Ansel Adams is considered by many to be the greatest fine art photographer. His involvement in the Sierra Club led him to turn a hobby when he was a youth, photography, into a celebrated career as an adult. He specialized in nature photography, with the scenic wonders of Yosemite a favorite subject. He helped form the Group/f64 group of photographers, along with Imogen Cunningham and Edward Weston.
Wassily Kandinsky (1866 - 1944)
Born in Moscow, Russia, Wassily Kandinsky studied art in Munich, Germany, and is the most important member of the German Expressionism art movement. He was initially influenced by Impressionism and Fauvism. He helped form the Blue Rider (or Der Blaue Reiter) group of painters, which also included Franz Marc, August Macke, and Paul Klee.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)
Born in Vinci, near Florence in modern day Italy, Leonardo da Vinci (meaning Leonardo of Vinci) apprenticed under Andrea del Verrocchio. He is considered by many to be the greatest artist of the High Renaissance in Italy. His two most famous paintings are the Last Supper, painted in 1498 in Milan, and the Mona Lisa, painted between 1502 and 1506 in Florence, where he was serving Cesare Borgia as a military engineer. He was in Rome at the same time as Michelangelo and Raphael.
Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 - 1986)
Born in Sun Prairy, Wisconsin, Georgia O'Keeffe is an American Abstract painter who is considered by many to be the greatest of women artists. After moving to New York, she married the American photographer, Alfred Stieglitz, who was 23 years her senior. She lived part-time in New Mexico from 1929, and full-time after Stieglitz died in 1946. She is best known for her abstract paintings based on the organic forms of flowers.

Impressionism (1860 - 1900)
Prior to the Impressionists, most painters worked primarily in the studio, modeling their work after the Old Masters, painting pictures with religious, mythological, or historical themes, while the Impressionists believed in painting en plein air, or outdoors, and painted contemporary scenes. Some of the more noted painters that are usually included with the Impressionists include Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Mary Cassatt.
Post-Impressionism (1880 - 1910)
The Post-Impressionists are a younger generation of painters who followed after and were highly influenced by the Impressionists, but with more emphasis on structure, expression, and the counter-realistic use of color. Some of the principal Post-Impressionists include Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. Post-Impressionism influenced the Fauvism, Cubism, and German Expressionism. Generally included with the Post-Impressionists are the Neo-Impressionists (or "Pointilists"), such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.
Surrealism (1920 - 1940)
The Surrealism art movement arose in the 1920s in response to the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud and his notions of dream theory and the subconscious. It was also a reaction against the Modern Realism and the formalism of Cubism. Surrealism was influenced by the Dada art movement, which developed in neutral Switzerland during WWI. Some important Surrealist artists include Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, M.C. Escher, Max Ernst, and Rafal Olbinski. Surrealism influenced the Magic Realism of Michael Parkes.
Abstract Art arose in the 20th century in reaction to traditional representational art. Abstract art initially involved the reduction or breaking down of objective reality into simplified or abstract elements, as with the Cubism of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Pure abstract art dispenses with objective subject matter, making the work of art its own subject. Abstract art can also be geometric, as with Piet Mondrian, and Mark Rothko, or organic, as with Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miro, and Jackson Pollock.
Pop Art (1950 - 1970)
The Pop Art movement arose in the mid-1950s in New York, reflecting the growing popular and increasingly commercial culture that was centered there. Pop Art was influenced by the Dada art movement, especially the "found objects" of Marcel Duchamp - an alternative term for Pop Art is Neo-Dada. Some notable Pop Artists include Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Claes Oldenberg.
