Best represents Art/most notorious? or that I think should represent Art?

Off the top of my head, Guernica by Picasso comes to mind. Of course, there are other painters of other eras who have created incredible work but staring at that painting really affected me.

PBS has also called it modern art's most powerful anti-war statement.

C.M. Coolidge's Dogs Playing Poker, to me, powerfully represents man's internal struggle between his true form and how he's expected to appear.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I wish I could post pics of my work, but photos of paintings don't show much once scanned.

Art is what each individual wants it to be. Tastes are varied. My favorite representation of art is a still life painting at The Huntington Library in California. It's called "Still Life with Flowers and Bird's Nest". The painter was Severin Roesen (1815-1871). The painters that can capture a moment in nature, (sans human beings), to me, represent the best of art.

Don't know that I would name any "one" painting that represents Art as such....... there are so many I like! But, if pushed, almost ANYTHING by Salvador Dali would qualify. For me, his paintings work (and affecg me) on so MANY levels...... each to their own though, eh?
