Art for every taste

For art, I could go on forever. Here are a few recent people to try:

Try Armen Gasparian [b. 1966] for symbolist art here, and the very pretty old fashioned Chinese art of Abraxsis Der Jen here. The great modern yet classical look at female portraits and impressionist scenes of the Spanish Roman Frances [b. 1950] are here.

For a strong modern impressionist painter, there's Alexi Zaitsev [b. 1959] here. He's a lot like Sorolla, the famous painter from Spain, more info here--I saw a great exhibition on him in the Prado museum.

If you love the pre-Raphaelites [medieval scenes, Biblical people, myth and fantasy figures, ancient classical figures, Orientalism/Arabian scenes], try these places:

FYPreRaphaelites and 1800sArt is a really good one!
