Pick a famous artist's painting for your living room.
Okay, here are the rules and the background.

I googled a list of the "greatest painters of all time" and found some random person's list who seemed to have an opinion. I then googled the names of the top 30 artists, adding "paintings museum" to the search to try to avoid copies and stuff.

I took the second image that I found in each search. My goal was to avoid the artist's most famous painting, and to get a different, and generally less famous, example of their work.

I'll put images of each of the 30 artist's paintings up in the first few posts of this thread.

Here's the rule: you get to pick one of these paintings to be displayed in your living room for the rest of your life. It is the painting shown in the first set of posts in this thread. You cannot pick another painting by that artist.

You cannot sell the painting or charge admission to view the painting. You do not own the painting. It is being provided to you for your personal enjoyment only.

Which painting do you select?

(Gimme a minute to get the posts up and the poll up. Go paint a picture of a happy tree or something while you're waiting.)

So I love Rembrandt and van Eyck, but the paintings that they did that are available here aren't anythign I love. I'm choosing -- as I now see so many others did -- a nice seashore painting by Monet.

It's dominating the competition, but I think that is far less the skill of the artist than the simple fact that here in the modern world, that is an entirely appropriate (if slightly boring), very nice piece of work.

Nah, see my reply above. He's not likely even top 10 for me. It's just a nicer piece that fits well in any living room, more than any extraordinary talent he has.

I love Rembrandt, but an old crone staring down at me all the time? err....

My wife is a retired art teacher. So we have prints from many of those artists in the poll in our home. Our bedroom has a Monet and Van Gogh print. At work I have Thomas Hart Benton, George Caleb Bingham, Richard Estes, Picasso, Magritte, Edward Hopper and Norman Rockwell's "The Kansas City Spirit."

I was there many many years ago and I agree, it has always remained one of my top 3 in the world. A great one for sure!

I cant for the life of me understand how what Pollock did is considered art or talent in any way and there's actually people out there that try to put meaning behind his work. It's ****ing paint splatter people.

The 2019 versions of Pollock have turned into vomiting paint onto a canvas, stripping down naked and climbing a ladder to drop paint eggs out of their vagina in the middle of town sqaure, laying down naked next to a canvas and shooting paint out of their ass. Slap the words "Abstract Expressionism" on it and after they die it might be worth millions.
