Famous artists #1

I'm trying to broaden my artistic horizons and, as I like a challenge (and a bit of a laugh), I thought it'd be fun, on the last Sunday of each month, to post a blip inspired by a famous artist. So ... can you guess today's artist?


"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art."
