I stopped at #19 - does that mean I can't die?

Mmmm! Forbidden artwork!

One of the least recognizable ones for me was the Vermeer. I spent a few days in Delft years ago, didn't do much - watched Dutch TV, walked around the waterways, sampled the bars and coffeehouses. I like Jones' comment, "..a homage to the endurance of simple everyday life in the face of catastrophe."

Anyone want to venture a list that goes beyond 1955? [Yeah I know the Rothko Chapel was dedicated in 1971, but you know what I mean.]

Amazing that there hasn't been any 'worthy' art in the last 50 years...

The artwork that every human should see before they die is the one created by themselves.

I've seen 9 already and I'm just 25... I think that means I'll be dead before I'm 60.

I wish there was captions explaining what we're missing from each piece by not seeing the original, in person.

Some are obvious, like the overwhelming size of Guernica, but a lot of those works I would like to know "why?".

Dougsf:

There were captions, but you had to scroll over the top part of the slides in order to get them to drop down.

Ah, thanks Comte!
