Look at all the Artsy People

I will admit that I haven't always been all that into art, and while I do like art, I am still pretty picky. For me, the general standard I go by is this: if I can't tell what it's supposed to be, I probably won't like it. While that leaves out a lot of modern art, there is plenty of content to like (and there is modern art that I do enjoy; I'm just really picky). To make a long intro short: Here's a list of my top 10 favorite artists that I've found (so far):
