The Kind of Art I like

I have to admit, before I started taking this class, I knew there were styles of art I liked and did not like, but didn't realize they were created in "movements" by various kinds of artists over the years. I like things that I can easily recognize without having to have the ideas pointed out to me. I guess this is because I am a kind of straight forward guy that hates to over analyze anything. I will say that I had never heard of Georges Seurat before this course and have become immensely impressed with his "pointillism" and the incredible amount of time and concentration it must have taken him to complete his pieces. I think this class moved him into my top five because of this. However, I have always liked the works of the surrealists, like Salvadore Dali. He takes easily recognizable objects, changes them in subtle (and not so subtle)ways, and contrasts them in unique and interesting ways. I guess this is because I love reading science fiction and he seems to create environments that beg for a science fiction writer to create a story around.
