What would you pick?
I was wondering if there was a list (like the top 100 movies etc) but can't find anything in google...
So what would you pick?

Ten's asking a bit much! I'll try for three...
1. Picasso - The Old Guitarist

2. MC Escher - Self Portrait
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ing_Sphere.jpg
3. Ansel Adams - The Tetons
(i'm not choosing this to cause an arguement, I wouldn't have chosen any photographer other than Adams)

I can't think right now, i'll edit this if I remember...
My face is my favorite work of art.
Anything by Ansel Adams and Escher.
Anything by Dali
http://hobbes.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Pics/dali.gif
Hmmm alot more abstract than I thought this would be...
Nothing classic like, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, the Mona Lisa, Da Vinci's last supper or the Creation of man at the Sistine Chapel...?
Jessica Alba, Adriana Lima, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alessandra Ambrosio, Charisma Carpenter.
And everything by Dali.
hundred years of solitude by Gabriel garcia marquez is a work of art
La Pieta , by Michelangelo
http://www.urbanaddiction.com/archiv...en%20small.jpg
The Garden of Earthly Delights
Hieronymus Bosch
Nice topic. I will try and think of some of my modern & contemporary favorites later for 2-10. :)
Monika Sosnowska
My favorite:

Gropius/van der Rohe and the bauhaus peeps
Mucha
FC Ware
Katsuhiro Ôtomo
Hayao Miyazaki
Adrian Frutiger
the list goes on...
I cant believe that i totally forgot about H.R. Giger.

Syd Mead. Pretty much the reason why I ever picked up a pencil to draw.
i've become a pretty big fan of Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison http://www.parkeharrison.com/
My fav from them is "finding godet", but it seems like they've revamped their website and don't have all their artwork up :(
http://explodingdog.com/june19/milkhoney.html
or any of exploding dogs work
I think some of you missing the point by "art" here...
Art is anything you want it to be.
But if you want to be picky and have it be a certain type of art then specify.
A website is not art.Quote:

Yes, I know all the crazy crap that passes for art these days but I was really asking for none digital traditional "art".
you don't count a spec of fecal matter on a pedestal, or a spiral of pubic hair embedded in soap, art?Quote:

You could go as far as to say that art is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes, blah blah blah... bring out all the old clichés!
Lets just keep this a none digital art list for now...
now, you're not calling my post rubbish are you? you honestly can't be even if it is 'digital'
I'm not going to list 10 but I'll list a few of my faves.

This is one of my favorite paintings by Van Gogh.
Here is another interesting one from him...
http://www.jottings.ca/carol/images/remy.jpg
Visually they are both impressive, but also meaningful in the sense that he painted the first one, then went and shot himself in that field. The second one is the view from his window while he was in the sanitarium.
bah... don't even argue... not worth it.Quote:

Another of my favorites is metamorphose 2 by escher. (did a 3000 piece puzzle of it)

TÓTH ROZÁLIA - Gesta Hungarorum
