For some reason I keep getting Degas and Dali mixed up. I mixed them up on my French art test too. I like Dali very much- my favorite is his painting with the clocks. Degas is ok, but I think he's the one that paints the ballerinas and all.
Another painter I love, but I might not have his name correct is Toulouse-Latrec. If it's the guy I'm thinking of... he did many nightclub advertisement posters that were amazing.
I know this sounds cheesy/corny, but I love the art that goes along with concert posters. I try to collect a poster from every concert I go to and many of them have art that is very wowwing (in both good and bad ways).
I'm not familiar with Degas or Toulouse-Latrec, but I may have to check them out.
I don't think it's corny to have concert posters (maybe because I have some old ones myself). They can actually be worth a lot of money some time down the road, depending on the artist, of course.
