# Oh aye

I like the angel of the north, although I know a lot don't. I have this overriding urge to sit on it's head and watch the sunset.

# That's true
but then the same can be said of many.

Look at Rothko. Eventually you've just got to realise it's just fucking rectangles.

There's a question: if you had to pick one work of art to own the original of, what would it be? Mine would be Giger's Birth Machine.

# Salvador Dali's
Swans reflecting elephants. I just really like it.

# Oh very nice.
Galatea of the Spheres or Girafe en Feu for me. Or that crucufuxion one I can never remember the name of.

edit: Christ of Saint John of the Cross.

I'm not art guy, but those are very good.

It sounds daft, but I like art for what it LOOKS like...you know? Or is that a stupid thing to say?
