Here are some artists from the past and present that we feel would benefit most artists from knowing their works. This is not a comprehensive list of famous artists or artists of historical significance--it is a list of artists whose work we love. If you have artists you want to suggest to add to the list, please contact one of the Forum Leaders (Stahlberg, Enayla, Lunatique) and we'll check out your links. However, there's no guarantee that we will add your suggestions, as this list is subjective.
