I’m partly curious as to what people’s favourite works of art are, and I’m partly hoping to discover something new. All art is welcome. Music, painting, sculpture, architecture, performance, video, litterature, plays etc. Everything goes!

While impossible to make a definitive personal list, my best attempt at a top 5 that live in my head rent free at the moment is:

  1. Danse Sacrée by Victor Ségoffin in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

  2. Wheat Field with Cypresses at the Haute Galline Near Eygalieres by Van Gogh

  3. The Jack Pine by Tom Thompson (Group of Seven)

  4. The G’psgolox totem pole.

  5. The Meenakshi Temple, Tamil Nadu, India.

What are your top 5?

    Poem - Robert Frost - Stopping by woods on a snowy evening

    Short story - Kurt Vonnegut - Harrison Bergeron

    Movie - Life is Beautiful (do not watch this if you don’t want to cry)

    Book - Carl Sagan - Contact (it’s much better than the movie)

    Anime - Serial Experiments Lain

    Honorable mention, Paper Tole - an ocean scene my grandmother did when I was a boy. She has written my name on the back of it for when she passes away. It’s the only thing I want. I hope I don’t get it soon, but she’s not young anymore.

      I am familiar with all of these except the anime edit: and grandma’s stuff. I am an anime manga fan and consider Akira and Appleseed among several others to be high art. Thanks for the contribution.
