I went to see a Karl Otto Götz exhibition last year in Duisburg and was completely blown away. The guy’s 101 years old and still paints, even though he’s blind by now.
His technique is rather unique – he usually completes a picture within seconds:

My final paper on a History of Culture & Ideas course was on the Pre-Raphaelites (and their followers), of which I particularly like Rossetti, Millais, Waterhouse, Atkinson Grimshaw, Holman Hunt and Burne-Jones
After years of careful consideration I would go with Balthus .... Then Vermeer.

Among living painters, I quite like Lyn Diefenbach (http://ldief.com/) and Dan Cooper.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.

Bob, who lives down the street. He did a great job on my back porch last year and, oh. You don't mean that kind of painter. Sorry about that. Dali is the man.
The older I get, the better I was.

and more than I forget right now
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I like Lee Gaskins too.
Thomas Kinkade?
Hahah... You and every other calendar collector! Actually a very talented painter. One of the very richest thats for sure.Thomas Kinkade?

No one has mentioned Don Van Vliet or Adrian belew???

Much as I like Beefheart's music, his artwork does nothing for me. Some of it's nice adornment for his LP/CD booklets but I'm not convinced any random PEer couldn't have done as well.
Keeping it proggy, I like Urs Amman's stuff. And Mati Klarwein.
Dalě is probably my favourite painter, but I like some more obscure surrealists, too (Yves Tanguy springs to mind).
Other than surrealism, I’m a big fan of 19th Century satirical chromolithograph artwork (Joseph Keppler, Bernard Gilliam, Frederick Opper, et al), some of which I’ve featured in my user icons.

"Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
I'm Canadian so by birth I must say any early work by The Group Of Seven or Tom Thompson. After that Dali and Magrite.
Speaking of musicians-as-painters, Syd Barrett's art is rather disturbing.
Puts the pain back into painting:

For artists that work with album covers, my favourite is "Patrick" (John Byrne), he painted several covers for Gerry Rafferty, among others, as well as film posters and such.
This is probably his most recognised painting, the GR album with Baker Street.
HMS Donovan album
Tutti Frutti film
