Lets not forget the beautiful Miss Mona Lisa

I love this one by Titian. Apparently, he painted the entire canvas red first and painted everything from that red base. It brings a lot of vitality and life to the human figures he paints:

I love, love, LOVE this one by Dali:

Cheater! You're not allowed to include photography just so you can include Miss Lennox! Try the cover of 'Revenge' instead.

See this thread for photos: http://www.prince.org/msg...&tid=32526

You dirty, cheap little cheat!

I posted those before you started the photo thread. And I wouldn't anger Annie- you know what happened last time.

I'm not afraid of that bitch! Bring it on Ann!

And as for reclining sluts, I much prefer this picture by Manet titled Olympia.

His third Millinium has to be my favorite theme. The images are large, so I just added links to them.

One of the most striking examples of the art of sculpture, can be found in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota - which officially opened in 1988. This garden consists of various larger-than-life sculptures, created by different artists. Of all of them, the sculpture created by Claes Oldenburg, and Coosje van Bruggen stands above the rest. It is entitled, Spoonbridge and Cherry, and was installed on May 9, 1988.
