Master Artists
By Tom Gurney

Master artists refers to the most famous artists over generations and centuries. Typically master artists is a term which refers to oil painters, normally in the post-middle ages. With being from the English language, Master artists also normally covers western artists, from the best known art movements. These can be renaissance, impressionist and more contemporary artists.

Famous artists from each major art movement of the last 500 years remain household names, but the emphasis is always on the newest ones. From the traditional art movements such as Renaissance and Baroque most people will still know about the likes of Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Rubens, Titian, Rubens and Vermeer. They are all certainly respected as masters of their craft.

More recently the likes of Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet were involved in the impressionist and post-impressionist movements. Abstract art then took hold and has drawn a big crowd of followers around the world. Masters of abstract art include the likes of Kandinsky and Mondrian.

The umbrella of contemporary art has also given us artists such as Andy Warhol, David Hockney and Robert Lichtenstein. Another movement of Cubism brought us the hugely famous Pablo Picasso. Surrealist art then gave birth to Salvador Dali. These artists are all hugely popular even today and laid the path of success for the art styles in which they were involved.

Art is full of master artists for every different direction that is has travelled over the past 500 years and many more will be added to the halls of fame in future as new methods and techniques emerge.
