Re: best/favorite painters
I am fond of the Russian Avant-Garde, in fact, I'm an expert, a strong Jewish connection and a strong women movement, they were all taken up with this utopian project to do everything anew, new forms, new materials, new clothes for the new people, a creative outburst in all arts, especially in the early years 1910-1913, they were all double and triple talents, poets and painters and musicians simultaneously.

Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery and St Petersburg's State Russian Museum, along with numerous private collectors, are set to collaborate with London's Royal Academy of Arts in a special exhibition to mark the centenary of the 1917 October Revolution.
Avant-garde artworks from Russia, including works by Malevich, Kandinsky, Chagall and Tatlin will travel to London for the Revolution: Russian Art 1917–1932 exhibition, which will take place from 11 February — 17 April 2017.
The exhibition will see a total of 200 pieces on display, and will also feature socialist realist art, photographs, films, posters, sculptures and porcelain, many of which will be on show in the UK for the first time.

Remaining with the Pre-Raphaelites, this is one of my dad's favourite paintings:
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

Funny, while I didn't know the artist or the work, I instantly recognized that this was a depiction of the Lady of Shallott, presumably after the Tennyson poem.
