What famous or obscure work of art would you want to own?
Mine would be a Picasso portrait from his classical period of the 1920s, a painting I saw at a museum in Paris some elebenty years ago. I recall a woman with a warm, rosy glow, Botticelli curls (am I mixing my artists metaphors here?), and a graceful Grecian (hence the term classical) profile, serenely looking down through half-closed eyes. It looked something like these, except...
Actually, this one comes pretty close:
But, after wasting way too much time researching the painting and where I think I saw it, I'm now wondering if my addled brain might have made up the precise painting it's dwelled on for all these years. So, I'm satisfied to say that I would happily own any of the Picasso portraits from his Classical period, but if anyone ever finds the one I really love, could you let me know? Because otherwise I might go as insane as Miss Havisham, pining for something that never even existed.
Thanks.
Now it's your turn. Bare your soul. It doesn't have to be a painting or drawing. It could be the Hope Diamond, or Princess Diana's wedding gown, or Paul McCartney's lyrics to "Let It Be." Your deepest desire could be the Sistine Ceiling, the Gutenberg Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the Mona Lisa, or Jeff Koons's Balloon Dog. Go wild. Be honest. Only one entry per customer please.
