Re: Your favorite works of art and why?

I couldn't pick a favorite work of art. Like a playboy, all beauty (in art) is interchangeable to me. Too many fish in the sea to tie myself down to just one.

If colors are just functional implementations in the brain of specific kinds of surfac...

Glad to be here

Well what can I say. I am looking forward to sharing ideas and exchanging views with other members of this forum. We are all born philosophers, from the very instant we start looking at our surroundings or trying to grab our big toe. It starts to become more interesting when we start to ask "wh...
