5 Favourite Art Works
I have been writing for this site for a few months now and realised today that I have never put down a list of some favourite works. This is not a compilation of absolutes just a few pictures that have inspired me over the years.
Art is a subjective form of expression hence opinions vary greatly, though like any medium there are pioneers of form that are timeless in their relevance.
So what makes a piece of art great anyway? Is it the subject? The use of colour, the visual metaphor, the realism, the comment it makes? Is it as simple as what we consider personally beautiful that makes certain pictures imprint themselves onto the observer and touch on an emotional or intellectual level.
For me its a combination of these elements mixed with my own experiences and perspectives on life. If you have been regularly reading my posts then most of these nominees will come as little surprise
Here is a snippet of a few that I love
Leonardo Da Vinci's Man
Henri Rosseaus Dream
Salvador Dali Metamorphosis of Narcissus
Goya Execution of Rebels
Titian John Paul

The first piece that popped into my mind was Dali's Persistence of Memory. I love what it represents.
