My Bachelor's degree is in Fine Arts and later I got a teaching certificate and a Masters in Art Education. So I've seen a lot of art! These are some of the pieces that really made an impression on me. Since I've been a SAHM, it's been awhile since I've really looked at art. It was fun to look these up again.

Ahhhh... just beautiful! I am a fan of Andrew Wyeth's work, and Matisse's, and Van Gogh's, Munch's, and Waterhouse's...
And wow, I'd never seen Klimt's "The Sunflower" -- gorgeous.
Thanks for a lovely TT!
Klimt, Van Gogh and Matisse are among my favourites.
beautiful indeed!
Happy T13!
Cheers!
A lovely collection of pieces for your TT. :)
An interesting an eclectic collection of paintings :-)
My favourite is Waterhouse, but they all are amazing!
My TT shares Thirteen (quotes from) lyrics by Robbie Williams.
Beautiful! You know, it's sad, but I do not know anything about art!
My seven year old loves to draw and paint. Maybe one day, he'll be the one to get me learning about it!

I really like 5, 8 and 13.
Great pics but I loved #5 the best. Thats an awesome pic.
I adore #11!!!
The Lady of the Shallot is one of my favorites. Great job. Have a great TT. :)
Great TT. Your #7 is new to me and delightful! Thank you!
Wonderful list! Klimt and Van Gogh are two of my favorites.
Beautiful! A few of these were new to me. I also love 'The Lady of Shallot' and the Van Gogh.
Lovely pictures. The only ones I ever saw before are the Van Gogh and the Waterhouse. But then again, I am not exactly an expert on art. ;o)
Great collection. I am not artistic but I always loved my college courses that dealt with art appreciation.
Great choices. I am partial to 1,5 & 8!!
Loved your entry today! There were definitely some new ones out there that I didn't know about, and you know I carry a degree in Fine Arts as well. I did classes on the history of Photography, photography, african art, and romaniticism. I liked and I didn't like "Horse". The artist was creative with the legs of the horse, yet it looks sad to me. And as an american girl whose been in italy, I LOVE the Ruth Orkin photograph! John William Waterhouse is my favorite artist! Too many artists to mention!
Very interesting list, with some artists this art history major didn't know. Thanks for sharing. Happy TT!
What a beautiful TT. I love the sunflower and lady of chalot.
Interesting TT! I'm sort of an artistic philistine so I so could not do this TT. Happy Thursday!
I've always loved Van Gogh, but now I'm going to have to check out Gustav Klimt. Thanks!
Happy TT!
Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott is one of my favourites, too. :)
Happy TT!
I love #5 and #8. Great idea for a list. Happy TT!
The Lady of Shalott always reminds me of Anne of Green Gables. :) I bet it was fun to look all those up. Thanks for a list that was a feast for the eyes.
I have not seen the horse and I love it
I have a copy of Master Bedroom by Andrew Wyeth. Love it!
your post encouraged me to go to the national museum of art this weekend. thanks for getting me off my duff! love you!
