How about a really cool Citroen car commercial? Check out this dancing transformer.
Woman Ironing
My mom is a painter and my dad was also a painting enthusiast. So there were always TONS of painting books, works of great painters and such lying around the house when we were growing up. And I used to look at them when I was bored, so it's sort of been etched in my subconscious i think, and the ability to recognize correctly - more often than not - to which painter a particular piece belongs to.
Anyway, I was browsing some classic art online, taking a little break, today. And I saw some picassos.
What's your least picassoesque favorite picasso?
Mine's this.
And can you believe this is a picasso too? I don't think I had seen it before. It's so Renoir.
.
I guess I have to say my least favorite work of him is this: http://tigtail.org/TVM/X2/c.PImpressionism/picasso/M/picasso_burial_of_casagemas.1901.jpg
It’s just nothing like his other work in terms of subject and style. I think he did this when he first started and hadn’t developed his “Picasso” style yet!

If there is ever a book I would push on a painting enthusiast like yourself, "my name is red" would have to be it. I read it maybe a year ago and it is one of Orhan Pamuks best works.
Whenever you have a week off school read it. I'll slap you if you don't! Its THAT good.

hmm, thanks for the tip.
And Sheyda, excuse my bad wording, I meant that is my most favorite picasso from all the least picassoesque works done by picasso!!! it probably still doesn't make sense .. anyway I love the Woman Ironing.

No! Actually now that I'm reading it for the second time what you said DOES make sense! I actually though to myself: “why does he wanna know what people’s least favorite painting by Picasso is?!” I didn't pay enough attention when I read it the first time I guess! Regardless! That painting IS my least favorite!!;)
