H.R. Giger

Giger's work is so cool... definitely one of my favorite artist. I posted some of his work earlier in this thread... and as much as I like his 'aliens'... Birthmachine has to be my favorite Giger:

I love Edward Hopper. Unfortunately, the subtly of his lighting does not come across too well on the computer monitor.
Nighthawks


I am partial to Norman Rockwell as well. My favorite work of his is this snarky commentary on abstract expressionism (an art movement which I loathe by the way) and it's patron saint Jack the Dripper.
Abstract and Concrete


Then there's my favorite. John Heartfield, the brilliant anti-fascist dadaist collagist.
