They're all so beautiful. Meanwhile I like this one because... of the girl I guess

Some great picks already! I'll admit I'm not the biggest art scholar so some of my picks you might have already seen ad nauseam

Nocturne (1875-1878) - James Abbott McNeill Whistler

Untitled (Blue Divided by Blue) (1966) - Mark Rothko

The Whistler is fantastic, I've loved that painting for a while. I've still yet to see a Rothko in person, and I know that's very much the intended and required setting, so I suppose I'm waiting to get the full effect of those.

I like this one because... of the girl I guess

I like the girl too!
