Which work of art would you own if you could and why?

Question

It can be any medium, painting, sculpture etc, and by any artist, dead or alive, regardless of the cost or value.

Answer 1

The Taj Mahal. Because its a monument to love eternal. I would give it to the one I loved and say : "This is a symbol of love everlasting. If you give me your heart I will give you the world."

But I can never do it, because I cannot own the Taj Mahal.

This is something I thought about a long time ago actually! Brought back a lot of memories... whats the next best thing to the Taj Mahal? Theres always poetry. Maybe I'll give that a go some day.

Answer 2

Wheatfield with Crows by Van Gogh because it's just stunning in real life. Actually I'd love any Van Gogh, the Almond Blossom would be my second choice - how he can make something so beautiful into something which is imprisoning him. When I visited the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam like most people all I really knew was the Sunflowers and the whole gory life story but I was absolutely blown away by his work. It's a shame a lot of people only really see the Sunflowers which I don't think is actually his most stunning painting.

Answer 3

i like Edward Munch (i think that's how to spell his name), The Scream. I don't have much knowledge of art, but i like this painting, i find it an apt depiction of life today. I think its almost photographic, in that the photographer has just captured this person fleeing from some horror, kinda like the young Vietnamese girl, you know the one. it looks like such a simple painting to have done (again im no artist) but i could look at it for hours at a time. I believe he done several versions of this painting, can't remember if it was done in different colours, but i like the warm reds and oranges, dark blues/purples he uses.

Answer 4

I say you are able to. you're in basic terms human, and it became into human beings that invented or stepped forward the martial arts that are available. you need to be the single that invents his very own next martial artwork, Doing so isn't confusing, all you need to do is arise with some concepts and a philosophy, and customarily... it relatively is that. (don't be bowled over that despite you invent became into probably already invented via somebody else.) The trick, nonetheless, is your final assertion: getting it observed international huge. to try this, you first ought to have your new device regionally known. to try this, you need to confirm your device is helpful. to try this, you desire the experience of yet another combating device - in any different case, you have no longer have been given any physique of reference. to try this effectively, you desire huge experience in yet another combating device. And therein lies your situation: you need to have a lot experience in a combating device which you're able to demonstrating it relatively is weaknesses or factors the place advancements could be made. no person yet a real grasp can do this. Few human beings interior the historic previous of mankind have been waiting to do only that. many that've completed so have completed little else than reproduction yet another device, substitute some issues, and supply it a sparkling call. Martial arts are no longer invented. They evolve over the dimensions of many lifetimes. The few martial arts that exist today who can easily hint their lineage to a single individual, alongside with Aikido, Hapkido, and Taekwondo, are no longer something extra suitable than concepts borrowed from someplace else. And therein lies the data to my answer: that's accessible, and that's so undemanding as bringing concepts jointly, and giving it a philosophy and a recognition. do exactly never think of you have completed something unique. besides the shown fact that, that's extreme-high quality which you have the keenness and thoughtfulness to contribute to the martial arts international. you're in basic terms sixteen, so which you have multiple time to evaluate and plan this. only submit to in ideas that it isn't going to ensue over evening, and not wthout you having multiple experience.

Answer 5

Anything from the Italian Renaissance, especially Da Vinci. It's one of my dreams to go to Italy and see the great pieces of art around St. Peter's Square, and to the Louvre in Paris.

Answer 6

Gauguin's 'Nevermore' - love Gaugin's colours and flat planes of colour - empathise with the girl's misery about (I assume) failed love - and the sense of ancestral brooding / potential revenge (but that may just be me).

Failing that, can I have Magritte's steam train coming out of a marble fireplace? When I first saw this in the National Gallery, when I was young, I was completely blown away.
