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?

    Top 5 is hard but I’ll give my favorite:

    I heard of it the first time in relation to it being a haunted painting. Not that I believed it but the next night, I had a nightmare about it, which is extremely rare for me. It’s so incredibly eerie. I’ve been going back and forth on if I wanted a print of it but I get legitimate fear at the thought. I feel like I’d be inviting something in my home that I shouldn’t. I mean yes, probably just psychology but I’ve experienced some weird things in my life so… I’ll go with my gut and admire it from afar only.

    Besides that, I love Caravaggio.
