I'm back. Again. Probably not for the last time.

My current Top 5 is motivated by two recent events. First of all, I watched
Exit Through the Gift Shop not too long ago and since then I've been more cognizant of the artistic value (or lack thereof) of the images I'm surrounded by. Secondly (in presentation only), I saw
Eyestone post about the
recent passing of
Moebius, a French comics artist who had a rather dramatic impact on not only comics art, but the art world at large. I have to say I was relatively unfamiliar with the work of Moebius until his death and similarly, I was fairly ignorant of most of the street artists (
Bansky &
Shepard Fairey aside) showcased in Exit Through the Gift Shop (the movie is fantastic, go watch it if you haven't already, it's streaming on Netflix). I'm here to remedy this ignorance.
In honor of Moebius and in order for all of us to take a few minutes to appreciate the visual art our friends find captivating, I call for your Top 5 pieces of visual art. Links are a must. To make this easier on those of us who aren't well-versed in the art world (and easier for those of you who would have a hard time only posting five because this kind of art takes up 95% of your waking attention) you can narrow your list any way you like. Maybe you want to only post your most recent faves, or maybe you want to limit yourself to a certain medium?
