I have the benefit of living in DC, so I have quite a few fantastic art galleries and museums, and for those of you who haven't been before, there is serious respect for modern, postmodern, and contemporary art in these exhibits.
Recently I went to the Hirshhorn museum which has some of my absolute favorite works, and among them is a room full of Clyfford Still paintings. Something about his work really gets to me every time I see it. My absolute favorite is Number 21, 1948:
There's also a room full of Francis Bacon paintings, which is just... a whole different kind of experience in understanding the human figure, spirit, and sexuality:
And just a few miles away I have The Philips Collection, which has a temporary exhibit on El Lissitzy, the Russian Futurist, who was incredibly fascinating, and I especially love his lithographs, a blend of typography, graphic design, and abstract composed geometry:
(Translates to "All is well that begins well and has no end")
So, Hubski, who are some of your favorite artists? Painters, sculptors, machinists, graphic designers, typographers, etc., etc.
