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.
Natan Altman (1889-1970).

I am terribly fond of Andrew Wyeth.

Just looked him up. Had no idea he'd passed away

I'm a great fan of all kinds of modernism but I've come to really appreciate excellent brushwork - hence my choices. Wyeth's skills are truly sublime; an understated virtuoso.

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.

Gotta see the original in person to be able to fully appreciate its beauty / significance / impact / evocativeness ... (Tick and/or add as many options as you like.)

The original (well, one of them) is in my local art gallery. It really does need to be seen in person for its stark brilliance to be fully appreciated.

Remaining with the Pre-Raphaelites, this is one of my dad's favourite paintings:

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.

Dutchman Tjalf Sparnaay does some very interesting (and massive) work in oils...
