Caravaggio? He liked prostitutes, boys, and fighting. A gay Cardinal bought his 'The Cardsharps' and moved him into his orgy mansion. Eventually he killed someone over a game of tennis, and had to flee Rome, But then became a knight of Malta. Eventually he screwed this up and tried to get back into Rome after moving all over Italy, but was 'wounded' on his way and died of a fever. He was a hell of a painter, though.
Didn't Dali sign blank lithograph plates? How many Dalis are rumored fakes?
Edvard Munch was a pretty nutty fellow. I hate his work, but he seemed slightly interesting.
Rauschenberg confuses me. What do you like about him Jai? I see a market with flowers drawn on it, and it looks like someone let some kids draw all over a box in another piece. I don't get it!
Magritte is good from what i've seen.
Duchamp if i recall was a twisted genius, didn't he build a bunch of random crap and call the series the 'readymades'?
Albrecht durer made neat stuff, not as great IMO as DORE, though!
Dore ruled. He was the paragon of illustration. Crazy detail and technique.
