Brains request: name me some paintings!

I've got to go to an arty party where we all go in fancy dress as art. I'm making a t-shirt with a collage of different paintings all over it. So far I can think of Mona Lisa, Guernica, Mondrian composition and, er, that's it

Name me some paintings. The more obsure the better

The Scream?

Always been quite fond of Canaletto's paintings after seeing an exhibition years ago.
Monet's Lily Ponds is a good bet too.

Ooh and got to have some Dali in there too

Persistence in Time being my favourite.

The Haywain. Turner or Constable I think.
Van Gogh's Sunflowers
Damien Hirst's little coloured spots
Andy Warhols campbells soup or Multicoloured Marilyns
Whistlers Mother
Banksy

I've surprised myself there. I thought I was a cultural vacuum.

The Last Supper & The Vitruvian Man (World in Action chappy)
Michaelangelo's The Creation of Adam & Angels
Le Chat Noir.
Van Gough self-portrait & those bloody pool-playing dogs.

I think I've decided nudity is a good theme. More nudity please

The Birth of Venus - Botticelli
Olympia - Manet

Go as yourself and claim to be Banksy!

Flibster · 01-09-2009, 21:15

Henri Matisse - Blue Nude

My personal favourite

Muban · 01-09-2009, 21:24

Woman in the Bath - Degas
Madonna - Edvard Munch

Oh and my earlier post reminds me (despite being very kitsch I'm sure!) an artist I've always liked...

The Birth of Venus - Tretchikoff
