I agree with Sloth. And thanks Sloth for the new way to look at these. If you squint they actually look good sometimes.

I like the Caillebotte's from post 14 and post 36, the Twachtman's in 16 and 24 (although the 16 is a better painting even though I love the real Emerald pool. God is the best artist of them all), the Monet's in 22 and the two Sloth posted (although the second is better than the first)

The Monet's posted in the article are too formless and dreary to go over the sofa. Likewise the haystack just doesn't catch the eye or the imagination.

Addendum. If I have to work so hard to see the impressionist type paintings (squinting etc) then I'd rather do the three dimensional geographics that were all the rage in the shopping malls a Christmas or two ago.

It's a pity the old masters never did an Enterprise fighting a Klingon battle cruiser painting. :^)
