"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
Why? I love the night sky and how it looks. Big fan of the stars, and everything. so this painting reminds me of the most beautiful nighttime sky ever..

Also this norwegian guy named Odd Nerdum is amazing. His paintings have such an amazing attention to detail and look so amazingly realistic, art fans if you haven't heard of him, check him out at his site here. http://www.nerdrum.com/

WOW! i knew scottsdale was wealthy... but a van gough in the living room??... thats some ritzy shit
Yeah, nobody suspects it as being the original....just sitting there on my wall in a crappy frame without any kind of security or anything.
That's the genius behind it. Had I gotten all kinds of security for it, it would have drawn attention.

Monet - Camille Monet Sur Son Lit De Mort (yes, Monet painted his wife on her deathbed ... it is very haunting, and hanging at the Musee D'Orsey in Paris if you get the chance)
In the wise words of Craig Brown: "I'm astonished that decorative 'wallpaper', essentially brainless, could gain such a position in art history alongside Giotto, Titian, and Velázquez".
I'm sorry if anyone here is a fan of Pollock, but in my humble opinion his work is quite simply, rubbish. He was just one of the many political weapons used during the Cold War.

And my personal fave is "The Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli

And then there's anything Ralph Steadman does...

There is just so much going on and the perspective is skewed so badly it is mind blowing.
