"I was going to ask to see your etchings 
I drew a few pieces in my youth (preferred pastels), but was always more interested in pursuing music as a form of expression.
I tend to prefer more modern art schools: Dada, surrealist, expressionist, futurist, bauhaus, that kind of thing. Not big on conceptual art, but quite a fan of mixed media. | |||

"My sisters both got the art gene in our family. However I like looking. I love Pre-Raphaelites, mainly Ford Madox Brown, but am also a sucker for Titian and Tintoretto. Off to see the Sistine Chapel and the Pieta in August, then I'll be at the Biennale in Venice after that." I went to Florence after falling in love with the film A Room With A View and visited the Uffizi Gallery and the gallery at Pitti Palace. Amazing!! My sister was a lover of the Pre-Raphs -- I remember her having a poster of FMB's The Irish Girl and my hair looked like hers! | |||

"I'm not a fan of big art galleries with thousands of tourists. Most people are there I have a feeling because they think they should be there and their ticking off some cultural to do list (I did exactly that for many years) Gormley's sculptures on the beach or art in nature type things appeal more these days. " There's a wonderful gardening place right next to Anthony G's home in Norfolk and you can see the sculptures in his garden. | |||

"I studied Art History for my Open University degree after a gap of many years from being at art college. I specialised in photography while I was there, favourites are William Wegman, Ansel Adams, Herb Ritts, Oscar Mazaroli and Robert Mapplethrorpe. Other artists I am very fond of are Barbara Hepworth , Mies van der Rohe, Dali, Hockney, Duchamp and Rothko ...go to Tate modern and just sit in Rothko murals room... it's cathedral like aura is worth the visit alone ! I lived just down road from Salts Mill so used to visit all the time "There was a great Hepworth exhibition in 2015 at the Tate -- I'd like to see her stuff down in St Ives. | |||

"I've always loved art, of all sorts. However, I took the science track at school. But a few years ago I did a pottery course which was fun. At the moment I'm going to a drawing course locally, which I'm loving. Messing with charcoals and watercolours also. Recently wandered around the Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is recommended (on a nice day). " Oh good on you!!! I really want to visit the YSP and see James Turrell's Deer Shelter Skyspace | |||

"Margaret MacDonald Mackintosh and Francis Bacon are two l'm currently interested in. l do like the Liberty style and Art Nouveau right now ( the more simplistic and less flowery though). l love that has organic lines with elan yet a symmetry and sense of order. Like it better than Art Deco." Oh yesssss!!! Good choices!! | |||

"I've got a complete crush on Grayson Perry. Plonk me in front of one of his large tapestries or maps and I could quite literally be thoroughly transfixed for hours - there is so much to be drawn from them ... the craftsmanship, the imagination, the use of colour, humour, pathos, the juxtaposition of ideas ... I could go on and on. Seeing his work for real just enthuses and delights me. I would fill my house with his work very easily and happily if I was a multi millionaire. I'm also drawn to Victorian artists like Dadd, Beardsley and Rackham ... intricate illustrations, eroticism, the grotesque, weird and wonderful of which they were exponents. As for me, I'm reasonably good at art technically ... can usually make a good stab at producing something recognisable, particularly in pencil and/or ink, very accurately and in great detail but lack the creativity to produce original, exciting stuff so get very easily disheartened and don't bother much. If there were more hours in the day this is something I'd like to try to address." I've recently taken to producing a small piece of art daily. It's been so much fun.
I have a massive crush on Grayson's wife, Philippa!!! | |||

"I'm a massive Peter Blake fan. He is a friend of my mum's through her work and for my 18th I got given a couple of tin prints from him and so a life long love was born. I was super lucky that my mum's job was in the art world so got a huge exposure as a kid to so many British artists. I remember being set a school project to do an artist study of a British artist, I chose Barry Flanagan, a sculptor famed for giant bronze hares doing various things, boxing, skipping, etc. I loved the project so much. When I took it in my art teacher had never heard heard of old bazza and failed me saying I hadn't followed the assignment. My god the argument my mum had with her when she found out, it was incredible, the best but was when my mum produced a number of catalogues of Barry's work and slammed them on the table in front of my teacher telling her that if she was going to teach a subject she should at least have some knowledge to back it up. This was in the days before the Internet. I got moved to a different art class after that, at the request of my teacher haha. " Haha what a story!! I have a slight obsession with hares. And yes to Peter Blake! | |||

"I got exposed to a lot of art over the 7 years I've been with 'er indoors as it was a major part of her life until about a year ago.

Also like random artists Caravaggio, Gilbert and George, Picasso, francis bacon ( there's an exhibition in liverpool at the moment i think...) and a few others... I think the single most powerful painting I've ever seen IRL was a painting by Lee Krasner which she did after her partner jackson pollock died. It was as shocking and horrific a portrayal of grief as I've experienced in any artistic medium. Fucked if I know the name of it though." Must be one from either her Earth Green or Umber series.

"I've got a complete crush on Grayson Perry. Plonk me in front of one of his large tapestries or maps and I could quite literally be thoroughly transfixed for hours - there is so much to be drawn from them ... the craftsmanship, the imagination, the use of colour, humour, pathos, the juxtaposition of ideas ... I could go on and on. Seeing his work for real just enthuses and delights me. I would fill my house with his work very easily and happily if I was a multi millionaire. I'm also drawn to Victorian artists like Dadd, Beardsley and Rackham ... intricate illustrations, eroticism, the grotesque, weird and wonderful of which they were exponents. As for me, I'm reasonably good at art technically ... can usually make a good stab at producing something recognisable, particularly in pencil and/or ink, very accurately and in great detail but lack the creativity to produce original, exciting stuff so get very easily disheartened and don't bother much. If there were more hours in the day this is something I'd like to try to address. I was there to wave Grayson Perry off when he left for his Alan Measles Odyssey from Chelmsford (his home town) to Backnang in Germany (Chelmsford's twin town). Got loads of pics of his lovely custom bike and you can glimpse me for a split second in an Alan Yentob programme about him. You're a Perry lucky boy!!

"I'm really into Art Galleries. The best painting I have ever seen in my life was "The Night Watch" at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. I sat for a very very long time taking it all it. " Art is definitely one of my passions too. Did you know that "The Night Watch" was given that name because it was a big empty painting of a single guy lighting a street light in the pitch black night. That poor lone night watch. Imagine their surprise when they took the painting in to be cleaned and discovered it had become caked in soot over the years and that underneath all that grime was a veritable festival of people bustling out in the street | |||

"One of the things I like about London are the art galleries and exhibitions. I'm currently having an Eric Ravilious love affair, I've a life long soft spot for Anita Klein's work of her and her man, Nigel, and Angie Lewis's nature inspired printwork and Edward Hopper's moody filmset like paintings. Oh and so many more! Do you have a particular artist, or particular piece of art that you love? Do you draw, paint, sculpt, print yourself? I doodle some pieces but it's more for me than anything good! " There are a couple of Edward Hoppers featured in the latest show at the Royal Academy. Got to find time to get along, cos it's the only time American Gothic will be shown in the UK. Love that painting. | |||

"I remember being a bit non-plused by art when I was younger. Then I saw a Goya painting in Madrid and was transfixed. I love it now. I'm a keen photographer and understanding the great artists is a massive help in composing better photos. Rothko has been mentioned - I find it near impossible to drag myself away from his paintings. I also love Ellsworth Kelly, Georgia O'Keefe and Matisse. There's so many photographers I love. Saul Leiter, Michael Kenna, Don McCullin and Ernst Haas would be a few, but there's many more. " Sebastião Salgado is a fave of mine. Saw a good film about him last year. | |||

"Oh, what a wonderful hare! I'm very much into abstract at the moment, being very texture and colour-inclined. There's a guy called Hiroshi Matsumoto who's work I'm a bit obsessed with. I've been buying some prints from an East London artist called Kelly Anna who is very much like Matisse - Love her stuff, and she only releases around 100 copies of each. " Thank you!!
