Favorite Painter/Painting?

I've been doing a bit of cultural anthropology on museums this semester and that in concert with my trip to back to the Van Gogh museum has had me thinking a lot about pieces of art I really enjoy.
I'm a very, very naive individual insofar as art goes. I don't know much, and could best be classified as a "noob."
That being said, my favorite painter is Picasso, and these are my three favorites from him:
3 Musicians
Guernica (The history of this one in particular is very interesting to me - but that's for another time)
And his reimagining of Las Meninas
You guys? |

I have a few, but the one that springs to mind is Dali's 'The Hallucinogenic Torreadore"

Thats my favorite Picasso as well.
I would say my favorite artist is Van Gogh.

I like Munch's Scream:
I used to have a "mini-gallery" in my Orkut profile with many other paintings but this is by far my favourite... I really like expressionism, even in its most abstract forms:
(That's Franz Marc's Rehe im Walde)
ps.: Both paintings are featured in Wikipedia's entry on Expressionism :D |

this is way too hard i'd have to think about it a lot
for some reason i never think about these 'favorite things ever'. people ask me what my favorite book is - no ing clue, movie, etc.
music would be even more difficult
the worst is when someone asks me who my favorite architect is, since that's what I do. they just don't get it when I shrug my shoulders. i guess i've been exposed to a lot of architecture so on one hand i have too much to choose from, and on the other hand i am really critical
with painting, i have a lot of art history and gallery visits, etc behind me but i still feel like i have not seen nearly enough to choose |

What if I ask you what your favourite school/style is? |
