'The Winged Victory of Samothrace' has been mine since I first laid eyes on it in person in 98. It's not really my art "style" (i'm more of a modernist) but there's something about the strength, fluidity and grace it has that captivates me. I simply love this piece:)

You are not your job.
You are not how much money you have in the bank.
You are not the car you drive.
You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your fucking khakis.0 -

The Pieta is simply beautiful, my parents saw it when it 'toured' in the 70's. I grew up with miniature sculptures of it in the house, it captures something exquisite!chiquimonkey wrote:ayyy so hard to choose! here are my top faves....until i can think of more haha
