Who is your favorite visual artist?

Question:

Who is your favorite visual artist?

I am an art teacher, and just curious as to which artist the common person enjoys... I personally love Carravagio... His work is so intense and beautiful.

His work is like dreaming. He takes you places you could only go in your imagination or dreams. You are there, and yet you're not.
