Cost aside, famous art piece I would have in my house....this one is an easy one. I actually have 2 answers for you 8)
First, is my absolutely favorite painting of all time. Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night

I think his work on this piece is beautiful, I just love everything about it.
Next, would be just about any piece from a Wyland Gallery LOL. Wyland is my favorite artist of all time, and I have had the pleasure of meeting him on 2 separate occasions.
Wyland, painting a picture at one of his galleries in Hawaii, July 2010.
Wyland and I after he signed my book of his. Hawaii, July 2010, I was 4 months pregnant with my youngest 8)
Me, with the painting, before we left the gallery for dinner. It wasn't done yet, but he was taking a break to sign some stuff.
You can see more of his beautiful work at www.wyland.com.
Mine is Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte".
ReplyDeleteI have been obsessed with it since I saw it in "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" all those years ago, and Jason & I have had a print of it hanging in some part of our house (every house) since we got together. I think I had the print even before we got together.
I also like Dali's Ballerinas. I have seen the original when I was in Spain, at the Museo Del Prado in Madrid.
