Michelangelo 's "David"!! Rrrrruffff! Come to mama. Yes, it's true, I'm old but I'm not dead.

Starry Night

Anything by Van Gogh. I love his work and the vibrancy of his brushstrokes

Van Gogh self portrait.

When visiting Prag, I found a gorgeous painting in a tucked-away gallery... just a boat on a canal with light reflecting on the water and twinkling through leaves. It just felt so alive to me. There's nothing famous that really calls to me like that.

That's easy for me, The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

I'd say the same thing. I saw it up close at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and it's just glorious.

@bleurowz That whole room of impressionist paintings was breathtaking.

@bleurowz wow! I bet it is!

I settle for pictures like this, my cherished daughter, appreciated much more for being family.

Settle? It's beautiful.

Any Dali painting or sculpture

I recently visited a collection of his works in Monterey, California. Blew me away!

One of those portraits of Elvis, in velvet. Or those dogs playing poker. I think art is good.

Most people when they think of Art they think of Paintings or Sculpture. So I am going with that premise even though Opera is the Highest form of Art....

I prefer the impressionist period of Art.... so maybe a Monet or Degas even Goya. However being an Artistic Snob.... I would have to say that the Puccini Opera La Boheme.... is my favorite work of Art.

My gift to you

When I asked the question, I really meant any form of art. So you got the right answer!

Thank you!!! Good gift!?

3

Would Dogs Playing Poker be too gauche? Seriously though, I couldn't decide on just one.

3

Monet. Any of the painting done in his gardens, particularly the water lilies. Or Salvador Dali's more salacious works. Or Van Gogh's Iris. Or one of Picasso's Doves.

3

Tutankhamun's death mask. I cried the first time I saw it ''in person," simply because it's absolutely perfect!

The Starry Night

Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh

I am a gear head so my art would be like a 1959 Cadillac or something like that...lol

3

So many options!

Assuming I can't claim Lea Thompson or Nana Visitor ( 😛 )..and that my favorite cave painting would prove too much of engineering feat to get home, probably one of the following:

"Fountain" by Marcel Duchamp or "Fallen Angels (Les Anges Déchus)" by François B.-M.-E. Cibot

3

The Thinker by Rodin

2

Aside of the Mona Lisa...I would consider the Sistene Chapel!

2

Giuseppe Sanmartino's "Veiled Christ"

Of course not for it's subject material, it is simply amazing. You can get right up close to it, and it is simply stunning.

Once saw a movie in which a home could read a person's mood and change the appearance of the walls to suit. That would be cool!

David

Marine Level 8 June 16, 2018

Is there any irony that it is a religious figure? I love it too but didn't want to admit it. Lol

@BrightLeigh No

2

None. I am a minimalist.

Is emptiness (silence, an empty wall) art?

@BrightLeigh It is to me. I can imagine it.

The picnic by Renoir
