What are your top 5 favourite works of art? - Lemmy.ca

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 [https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/artworks/danse-sacree-15691] in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. 2. Wheat Field with Cypresses at the Haute Galline Near Eygalieres by Van Gogh [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_Field_with_Cypresses] 3. The Jack Pine by Tom Thompson (Group of Seven) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jack_Pine] 4. The G’psgolox totem pole. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%CA%BCpsgolox_totem_pole] 5. The Meenakshi Temple, Tamil Nadu, India. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meenakshi_Temple] What are your top 5?

Poem - Robert Frost - Stopping by woods on a snowy evening

Short story - Kurt Vonnegut - Harrison Bergeron

Movie - Life is Beautiful

Book - Carl Sagan - Contact (it’s much better than the movie)

Anime - Serial Experiments Lain

Honorable mention, Paper Tole - an ocean scene my grandmother did when I was a boy. She has written my name on the back of it for when she passes away. It’s the only thing I want. I hope I don’t get it soon, but she’s not young anymore.

I am familiar with all of these except the anime. I am an anime manga fan and consider Akira and Appleseed among several others to be high art. Thanks for the contribution.
