None of this art is to my taste. Now dogs playing porker is good art! A poster of Clinto Portis busting through the Dallas defense is great art!

Good Choices Scott. Impressionism at its best.  |

You'll recognize this bit right away. It is called "Largo al factotum" and roughly translated means "Make way for Mr. Get 'er Done".
From Gioacchino Rossini's Barber of Seville.

 Dogs Playing PokerThis series of paintings actually dates back to the very early 20th century. They were commisioned originally by a printing company as cigar advertisements and they have come to epitomize cheesy low-brow Americana. |

 Henri Matisse - Blue Nude, 1952 He did a lot of paintings where you can see butt cracks and nipples and stuff, but it's not like porno or anything, more like cartoons. |

 American Gothic
Grant Wood
1928This painting depicts the hardness of midwestern farm life. Notice how the shape of the pitchfork is repeated on the man's overalls and in his face. The house in the background is a real house in Iowa and it's still there. The woman is Grant Wood's sister and the man is his dentist; they never actually posed together, only separately. The sister was shocked at how old she looked in the painting and embarrased that people would think her husband would be so much older than her so she started the rumor that the painting was really about an old man and his spinster daughter. Grant Wood never dispelled the rumor. This painting is the subject of many parodies - I have a photo of my grandma and grandpa in the same pose in front of their Iowa farmhouse... they got a big kick out of doing that. |

 A bunch of hippies on Thanksgiving by Leonardo daVinci. Odd that they're all on one side of the table (maybe that thing in front is a big TV with a football game on), there doesn't seem to be much food or wine, and they don't seem very happy. Also, the table would fit in the room better if they put it the long way. |
