Answer 5

Patrick Woodroffe is awesome. H.R. Giger has some cool stuff but lots of his art is erotic/mature. Giger has some neet illusion art that is rare to get. Then , there is always Dali.Oh yeah, and Escher.

Answer 6

surrealist artists: Salvador Dali, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst (i like his stuff), Andre Breton, Man Ray (he's cool..even goes into photography), Hans Arp (really neat - also kind of abstract), Joan Miro, Marcel Duchamp (who's the famous toilet guy - who is known to have influenced artists from that period to present)

abstract expressionism:

Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman (his stuff is based on Native American ideas), Marc Rothko (think sublimity!!), Adolphe Gottleib (more symoblism than abstract), Clyfford Still, Hans Hoffman, Mondrian (he's more abstract)

Sculptors: Louise Nevelson, Isamu Noguchi, David Smith (metal works!)
