I might be the odd one out here but I don't have any favourite famous artists. The last time I went to a museum was about 30 years ago, I did enjoy viewing the paintings on display, some I liked more than others, but had no idea who the artists were. To be honest, a lot of famous artworks I just don't get. Works by Picasso for example, I just find really strange and not something I could spend time looking at. I do appreciate what goes in to creating a painting, but I honestly don't understand how some of these people become so famous and their creations so valuable. I suppose you could liken it to music, there are lots of different tastes out there, something for everyone, some become rich and famous but they can't please all of the people all of the time. I am pretty dumb when it comes to paintings, my interest was only sparked out of my love of other creative pursuits. When I stumbled across a bob ross video I wanted to have to a go, and that's it. I think to have a favourite famous artist you would need to study them to find out where they are coming from and discover what it is you like about them and their creations. I briefly researched Lowry for the event here and I enjoyed that. Now I appreciate him and his work more than ever. So perhaps I do have a favourite famous artist, perhaps it's Lowry, for now. I think I would need to spend time researching other famous artists and their works in order to appreciate them, but I have very little desire to do so. I know when I see a painting I like and that's about my limit. All of the paintings I like the most so far have not been done by anybody famous. (told you I was odd!)
