I've always dug Jasper Johns. Some of his stuff is a little straightforward like "Flag, 1954" (which I still like), but "Edingsville" is just cool.
Lately, I've been really getting into N.C. Wyeth. His paintings have so much drama and life to them, and it helps that he did lots of subjects that appeal to my geek side like knights and pirates. I'm thinking of getting a couple of his prints for my living room; I've never seen anything like that as somebody's centerpiece before.
Photography is something I've always geeked out about. Ansel Adams is a favorite of mine, and while everyone loves his Yosemite works I've actually got a great picture he did of the San Francisco skyline from the south that's one of my favorites. He's more well-known for the Yosemite pictures, but really he could shoot anything.
I also love the work of the FSA/OWI photographers during the Depression, like Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother". Without going too political, I'd hold up the FSA/OWI archives to anyone who says that government subsidies have no place in art.
