And I'm not just talking about paintings or sculptures. I'd like people to include literary works, film, TV, or video games or whatever when making a choice of, "What one thing do you consider the ultimate piece of Art?" Please just choose one singular work and give an explanation why you feel that it is the ultimate in art.

God creating the female body. Nothing else comes close.

God creating the female body. Nothing else comes close.

Man (and women) perfecting the female body.

 

[And_Gignac]

The penis.

In all seriousness, I dunno. Maybe the Old Zeus at Olympia statue?

 

[God Dayumm]

The Last of Us

You know terrie, it really is The Last of Us

Two:

There Will Be Blood (it's like human darkness and terror in film form)
The Tree of Life (beautiful appreciation of the 'splendor in the grass' and all the little things that give life to the big ones)

This is how we'll be remembered
This is how we'll be feared

God creating the female body. Nothing else comes close.

This. And Kubrick's 2001.

 

[LaNaranja]

Little Big Painting by Roy Lichtenstein. The brush strokes appeal to the fans of high art while the Ben-Day dots appeal to the the lower class plebeians who enjoys comic books and other popular media. It provides both the upper class and the lower class a window into what life is like for the other. It is a piece that can be appreciated by all, regardless of social class. It is a piece that shows that it is in fact possible for us all to get along.



Runner up would be this painting of Mark Zuckerberg made out of poop.

Mozart's clarinet concerto is flawless. No way to improve it.

[Doctoglethorpe]

The Dark Side of the Moon

And the irony of a Transformer movie ripping off the name is probably the greatest joke ever told.

 

[Monocle]

God creating the female body. Nothing else comes close.

The natural, evolved form of the athletic human male.

 

[And_Gignac]

UGH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. Poor, poor others.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

paradise lost in the genre of epic poetry. aside from the literary genius, milton's use of eve as a protagonist in an androcentric society challenges social views to this day. his social commentary strikes at the core of christian values and the archaic notion that the world is patriarchally charged.

 

[Floridian]

Stan for the best

 

[braves01]

In terms of performance art, I don't think *NSFW* Interior Semiotics can be beat.

Maybe the Bible too.

 

[eot]

Dvorak's Cello Concerto

R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet"

The Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd wasn't the first band with an album titled the Dark Side of the Moon.

[jett]

The detail and the quality of Michaelangelo's Pieta never cease to amaze me. Those folds are just ridiculous.

 

[Flavius]

The Odyssey. Fitzgerald's translation, specifically. It's my all-time favorite piece of western literature.

 

[kmax]

Self-explanatory

 

[curlyfriski]

The films of Yasujiro Ozu and James Joyce's Ulysses.

All 5 of them.

Gaming, easily, for colliding so many art forms into one glorious interactive simulation; music, effects, animation, characters, stories, painting, design, physics, lighting...the list of art collaborating in games is astounding and draws from so many other industries.

 

[John Kowalski]

i don't think pineapples are art

more serious, nothing really, there are some great achievements in the arts but i don't like to think of them as successes in "art", that said

i would give my sexual apparatus and a kidney for a good print of this

 

[Mango Positive]

Nature. Mountains, sunsets, seas, and lush forests. Bonus in that no one's ego is inflated by the appreciation. Maybe the photographer's, but they know their contribution was merely technical.

Embrace true art:

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man will always be on my mind as the supreme form of art

All 5 of them.

Christ, what a poor response this is.

It's ok though. Wouldn't expect a Liverpool fan to understand.

God creating the female body. Nothing else comes close.

Then why we still got clothes?

 

[FStop7]

I want to say Guernica, but it's such a powerful depiction of suffering that it would make me feel sad to choose that as the pinnacle. But still, it immediately came to mind.

Either way, I'm pretty sure I would select something by Picasso or Matisse.

 

[wedward]

It's not funny though.

Poor effort. Like Liverpool today.
