Seriously though (though I do think Bob Ross is ok)...I generally prefer the "realism" artists like Rembrandt, and other such types. 

Picasso's style and others, such as Sarte(probably bad form to use them in the same breath), just looks like a bunch of poorly-painted crap to me.  But taste in art is one of the most subjective things in the universe, so I would never give someone crap for a differing opinion.

Definitely an artist of the famous "Caliga" school.  :D

Rubens would be another:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Actually my favorite artists are Cezanne, Gauguin, and Toulouse-Lautrec.  I'm a big fan of Impressionism, nude Polynesians, and midgets.
