    Your top ten favorite works of arts ever...

    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



    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...

    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...?

    Yeah - I'm a fan of those. Right now?

    Beck's and Johnston's underground map, graphic design and typefaces. Good design is real art to me.

    I think I'm more interested in Artists/desiners/architects rather than individual pieces. All time faves?

    Gropius/van der Rohe and the bauhaus peeps
    Mucha
    FC Ware
    Katsuhiro Ôtomo
    Hayao Miyazaki
    Adrian Frutiger

    the list goes on...

    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

    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.

    I have never seen a website in a gallery.

    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?

    Anything, created by the hand of man, which invokes an emotional response, is art.

    You could go as far as to say that art is in the eye of the beholder.
