Top 100 (37) Artists
As with all the "Top 100" lists I've compiled or am compiling, this is just my personal favorites, it's not intended as an 'absolutely objective' list of artists who're 'unquestionably GREAT'. Obviously, I'm not familiar with all the work of all artists & what I like &/or love is based on personal criteria as well as during what period of my life I was exposed to the work that will differ from the criteria & exposure period of other people interested in the subject.
ALSO, there are bound to be people not on this list simply because I'm 'not feeling them' today. Other days I might feel differently.
My main criticism of the below list for the moment is just how off-the-top-of-my-head it & how erratic it is in relation to various movements & disciplines. That may be corrected someday.
I don't include my own work here even though it's as least as good if not better by my standards than anyone on the list. This is because I eschew the context of "art" in favor of more original contexts.
