I've always had a spot for Magritte.

I have this print in my home it's called patriots...

I think it represents the type of person who calls themselves a patriot, because they want Britain for the the Brits , organize lynchings and firebombings for paedophiles, basically Sun readers who blame everyone else for the stae of thier country while sitting on their fat arse watching Rangers/man Utd drinking Stella before giving the missus a beating for being "too lippy"

I like the old Dutch painters. My favorite is probably Pieter de Hooch. I love his interiors, how one room opens up to another. There is always a little hallway or an entry that you want to peer into.

Johannes Vermeer a close second.

We went to the Vermeer exhibit in Washington DC during the blizzard when the government shut down. Stood in line in the freezing cold. I think that is the coldest I have ever been in my Entire Life!

Oh, and I LOOOOOVE this painter, though he isn't famous.

About 6 feet long and 4 or 5 feet high, on average. Yes, linen.

I heard she bears a striking resemblance to La Lopez.
