Share your favorite works of art here. Introduce some good stuff to your fellow philistines. Write a blurb about it or the artist if you want.
Here's one to start: Wasily Kandinsky, "Composition VII." Kandinsky was a member of the Bauhaus movement in Germany, of the 1920s and 30s. They wanted to express different forms of media in other forms of media. For example, express music as visual art. That's what Kandinsky did. But to me, it looks more like going through a great mental or logical process than music. Sadly, the guy with the little moustache who became Chancellor of Germany hated Bauhaus art and shut it down.
I saw a guy with this image tattooed on the back of his shave head once, on a New York subway. I guess he likes that painting even more than I do.

Wow. That one is amazing. How did he manage to do that with paint?
Franz Marc, "Deer in a Monastery Garden" Franz was a Bavarian painting in the 1910s. When World War I started, he enlisted as a cavalryman. We was interested in the developing science of camouflage, and painted camouflage tarps for artillery "in the style of Manet and Kandinsky." Sadly, he was killed by artillery at Verdun in 1914.

The Arnolfini Portrait- Van Eyck.
To me, it captures something profound about Western civilization. Something weird. |

Pieter Bruegel the Elder, "Hunters in the Snow" Painted in 1565.
Winslow Homer, "Prisoners from the Front" The clash of U.S. Northeast culture and U.S. Southern culture. And perhaps never the two shall meet.
Max Ernst, "Europe After the Rain II" A technique of his was to create textures by putting mixtures of paint on a canvas, laying the canvas over a rock or tree bark, and scraping. I don't know if he did that with this one or not.

LOL, EVE players really might be philistines? I highly doubt it. Just not in the mood or something ATM maybe. Can we (I) see some more?
