If you could have any five works of art in your house

[Siege]

If I could, I would have this work of art in my house, but my wife would probably shoot me.

Rather hard question to answer.

I'm very minimalist in my tastes. I'd rather live in a piece of art than hang one on the wall.

Do you have an architect then that you would have liked to have had designed your house/apartment and interior?

My favourite house design is probably Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. Though I would have to redo the interior as it's much too cluttered for me.

If I could, I would have this work of art in my house, but my wife would probably shoot me.

And that, children, is why you shouldn't have firearms in your house.

Siegebreaker has middle class life; possesses no middle class values.  ARMY OF ONE.

I think wishing to have a pet supermodel is well in line with middle class values.

It's called propriety.

So let me tell you about what exactly I would do with my lottery hooker...

[Savonarola]

If I could, I would have this work of art in my house, but my wife would probably shoot me.

I figured you would have picked the Arch of Titus.

This one, The death of Wolfe by Benjamin Wolfe:


And another one I don't know the name, but it looks like it's depicting the siege of Maastricht and the death of a musketeer, maybe D'Artagnan.  It appears in Darth Mod's Empire Total War.

Aside that, I don't know of many work of art I'd like to have.

Maybe this one too:
White House down

[Brazen]

Thutmose III


Dali - Persistence of Memory:


Rembrandt - Night Watch


Turner - Palace of Westminster


Holbein - The Ambassadors


That was off the top of my head. I may come back and edit.

[Josquius]

Nothing haunted please.

[Siege]

Whoa, Rembrandt's Night Watch is incredible.
Very interesting light contrasts with characters in diferent planes of the composition.

[Pedrito]

Oh, Brazen

...that Monet is incredible

[Norgy]

Picasso's "Guernica", Munch's "The Scream", "Madonna" and "The Dance of Life".
And Kittelsen's drawing of the fairy tale figure Smørbukk.

It just occurred to me that in my office I do have five pieces of actual art, so I might as well describe those:

-small print of Dali's Persistence of Memory, purchased at the Art Gallery of Ontario while visiting there with Malthus, GF, Sasks, HVC and Jos.  Brazen linked to that image already.

-a Jim Robb (Yukon artist) print showing the log home skyscraper in Whitehorse.  I can't find the exact print online, but you can see more about the artist and his style  here: http://www.artincanada.com/jimrobb/

-a numbered print of "Caibou Family" by another Yukon artist Nathalie Parenteau.



-an unlimited run print of "Autumn Romance" by the same artist:



-a west coast native art print entitled "Killer Whale" by Danny Dennis, purchased at UBC Anthropology Museum
