Most of the Renaissance painters. Especially Raphael with how much he accomplished in his short life.

Re: Artists that Blow Your Mind

This website is dedicated to contemporary ceramic artists
http://artaxis.org/artist.html
The website is huge, but you can pretty much click any artist at random and come up with some truly amazing stuff.

Re: Artists that Blow Your Mind

What do you guys think of ceramics, as an art form? I think it CAN be interesting, but it usually isn't. I prefer paintings. Sculptor can be really cool too. Architecture is probably my favorite art--as it's the most useful.

Re: Artists that Blow Your Mind

Here's a great blog. It's a bunch of comic book artists that pick a theme and then draw pictures related to the theme. Lots of great stuff here.

How are ceramic works any different than sculpture? In many ways there is nothing different. Let's compare:
Say you're viewing a marble or bronze sculpture;
a Donatelo
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702

or Michaelangelo
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702
or Henry Moore
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702

or Fredrick Remington
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702

and let's consider some ceramic works of:
the Ming Dynasty
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702

or Paul Soldner
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702

or Robert Arneson
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702

or Gertud Natzler
http://www.google.com/search?q=david...w=1279&bih=702

All of these artists/works are creating something out of nothing. All pieces take a great deal of time and consideration for the elements of design. Some are contemplating a time period, satirizing the status quo, or simply being beautiful objects to look at.
If you're arguing that ceramics is not "Art" per se because it is "Craft" or often a "utilitarian object", then what makes a textile rug or tapestry any different than a painting?

I personally take great personal gratification with the fact that a utilitarian ceramic object (like a mug or plate or teapot) is the only "art" i can eat off of or drink from (and still be sanitary).
