I think you are asking us what are our favorite pieces of art and why. Does it make us hear music?
If that is the case, anything by Rosso Fiorentino.
I saw one of his paintings at The Louvre, and it made me cry it was so beautiful. Since then, I've traveled to see his work, and I have a couple of books about him. He was a fairly minor artist during the Italian Renaissance, but he calls to me like the sirens.
This one is probably his best known work.
But it is this one that started it all for me. The picture here doesn't do it justice. The colors are purple, magenta, carrot orange. The light shines through it like it has been touched by G*d.
But I also love Donna Howell Sickles' cowgirl art work. It's very pagan and still true to the spirit of the West. It makes me want to walk through a corn field
