Which painting would you like to have at home?

Not really intent on fooling people: the above was actually my first ever experience with Coreldraw.

I always liked how these card players were having fun this photograph

and I consider trying to get a large reprint, if the museum allows that.
They're certainly making sure the resolution of this picture is the worst possible.

For me - Gerika by Picasso. Mainly for I have a good friend who lives there.

We recently tracked down something having seen it first as a book illustration. Hunting down the picture, then the artist and the gallery in the USA and it finally arriving has added a great deal to our appreciation of the piece.

Bruce - who is the artist?

Audrey Niffenegger. She wrote the 'Time Travellers Wife' and has also produced a hand illustrated book called 'The Three Incestous Sisters'. We bought a print from one of the plates, just 16 of each page were made. See gallery link hereif interested. The nicest ones have sold out!

I always like "zicht op Delft" by Vermeer.


And for my modern room I would like to have a Mondriaan:


And some photo's by Ansel Adams!!

The one of the woman with a green face that Woolworths used to sell.

Banksy

I'd like David Hockney's Pearlblossom Highway in my kitchen

If you like Hockney then pay a visit to Saltaire (on the NW edge of Bradford) and the 1853 Gallery in Salts Mill. Apart from being a great building (and a World Heritage Site) it contains an excellent permanent Hockney collection and frequent temporary ones too. I'd never really liked his work much, but seeing some of his drawings in particular made me appreciate him more.

I'd like Duchamp's 'Box in a Valise'. It's an entire gallery of his work in portable form.

Edward Hopper Gas

Gianluigi, I didn't know Monet's parasol. It's very nice.

Hi Alex!
As i wrote i don't have all that money and time to visit the collections around the world and so i buy books that are about paintings.
Pics are not the same but good pics leave you an idea of the paintings.
I did choose Monet's Parasol to descibe what i did call a "moment" that goes in the artist mind and makes him describe it.
In Monet i see the fast strokes of the moment in the artist's mind.
Strokes are not separated oil marks but goes into an entire image.
Maybe out of focus, if you consider all the separated parts that makes it, but perfectly faded if you just start thinking about it as a "thought".
Cheers!

I like paintings of foreign birds with really big tits. Klimt had a good line in them.

I'd like a Botticelli or a Filippo Lippi on my wall, but really couldn't be arsed with 10,000 tourists marching through my living room every day.

If they paid me £5 a time I could live with it and if some nice art student wanted a private viewing of my Botticeli I would be sure to oblige her. Life would be sweet.

Especially if she gave you a bit of Filipo Lippi in return.

Whatever.

Landing strip?

I've always been atracted to the Dali Crucifiction. As I have no idea of size it might present a problem of housing it.
