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.)

Jean-Michel Basquiat. Definitely a conversation piece and it’s bright.

Tough call between the MIRÓ, the BASQUIAT, the POLLOCK, or the DÜRER.

Since I cannot have a Magritte, I will happily settle for a Matisse.

DaVinci, Picasso and Monet, when I was younger.

C.M Russell has been more my taste for decades.
