Need Mid-Centurn Modern Art Suggestions

I am working on a project and would like to survey SF members to see what specific examples of reproductions of mid-century, modern or pop art they would enjoy living with hanging in their homes or offices. I'm looking for an artist name and title of a painting. What would be your favorite(s)?

For example, I would enjoy Andy Warhol's "Cambell's Soup"





and Mondrian's "Composition with red, yellow, blue and black "

I'm a fan of Chuck Close's portraits. I can spend an hour in front of one staring at it.

In a museum, yes. In my home, I'd feel like I was being watched all the time.

Paul Klee. Dont know the title. May be considered slightly earlier than mid-century.

I like his work as well. One of my favorites of his is this simple painting from the late 30's.

Yeah he did it on a screen print with several diff colors. Some of the brighter shades are hard to tell at first glance what you are looking at.

I have never seen this one. Miro has such a magical quality to his work. Thanks for posting it.
