Did any art shake your legs?

While I was walking up the stairs in the Van Gogh museum watching an exhibition of expressionists I had to make a turn and there it was...This portrait of Marcellin Desboutin by Edouard Manet (1875)was so incredibly powerful I stood nailed to the ground, I couldn't speak and just only could admire the sheer brilliance of this piece.

Reproductions of 'physical' art, whether by computer or as prints or photos is never going to do the work justice...you just made it 2D, afterall.
That's where digital art comes into its own. You get to actually see it as it was intended...
I challenge anyone to browse through the wallpaper section here and NOT go 'wow' at least once. [Blind people are excluded]...

Actually, there are very few wallpapers that I like. The last wallpaper I really liked and used it for a while was back in the Skinz.org days and it was ... [gasp] a dolphin wallpaper.
I kid you not. I thought it was beautiful, and I still it is too. Sorry Jafo.

It is interesting though, that figurative art is still mentioned more than abstract art. Apart from Kandinsky and some on wincusto...

It's even more interesting that no-one mentions, umm, what's it called... art where the supposed 'meaning' behind it is more important than the piece itself.
Damnit, forgot the term...
