I thought it would be an interesting idea for people to post here the paintings they admire or that they put up in their house. Please include Artist/Name as well as the picture.

Here is one of mine:

Huntsman has already won this thread with Sargent and Giorgio de Chirico. Any further posts would be futile. EDIT: As for myself, despite my love of paintings (particularly Impressionism and Surrealism), I would love to have the work of photographers such as Guy Bourdin and Erwin Olaf in my home. They are two of my favorites.

I too prefer photography, and my current favourite is Eugenio Recuenco.

Oh whoa, thanks for sharing Eugenio Recuenco. This is the first I've heard of him and I just browsed through his website a bit. I really love his work for much the same reasons I do Orlaf's.

My pleasure. I just wish I could figure out a way to get a print or two in my back water city.

I found his (Eugenio Recuenco) work pretty interesting until I happened upon the blackface.
