(**and you thought this was about photos of tits n' bums n' cocks n' holes!)

Having just returned from the (rather naff) Tate Modern, on the south bank of ye olde London Towne, I thought it would be nice to curate a virtual Fab Art Gallery of visual art.

So suggest to me one of your favourite well-known / famous / iconic paintings, sculptures, artwork...

No cake please.

Cake is allowed.

Bugger!

The Rodin Museum in Paris is one of my favourite places on earth. I love his sculptures and wrote my university thesis on him.

Design Museum in London. We'll worth a visit for the fine graphic and furniture design.

The Night Watch by Rembrandt at the Rijksmuseum is my favourite. I could sit looking at it for hours...... oh, I did. It's magnificent.

Seen it once in 1995. Didn't appreciate it then, but certainly would now

I'm impressed, Granny. It's an ephemeral piece.

There's always been a Barbara Hepworth sculpture in Wolverhampton called Rock Form. It used to be in the middle of the shopping centre. I grew up seeing it regularly and love it. I think it's in the art gallery now.

Plus I grew up with Escher drawings in the house - Drawing Hands, Relativity and Waterfall. They're great and trippy at the same time

I love Tiffany Bozic. I love her limited edition prints. The Owls triangle of love is my favourite!

She has her own blog & web site. I love the blend of nature & the outdoors. Amazing work....

Detail on the paintings is amazing.

Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Beautiful. Odd. Apt for the Fab Art Gallery.

For me, this is what makes it so powerful. I don't know if the material was happy accident or used purposely but it was genius... The art piece 'spoke' to us as we viewed it and knew it would soon be no more ........ so poignant

My favourite bit of public "art" is a copper container on display in a Dutch city. It was, according to local folklore, used for boiling money forgers alive in oil. It's about 500yrs old

You should walk aling the Water of Leith in Edinburgh, 6 Gormleys although you need good eyesight to see a couple of them.

Cliche I know, Sistine chapel, but the last temptation, not the ceiling.

I also like Caravaggio. The taking of Christ, the expressions and faces are amazing.

Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp. Most Futurism or Cubism, really.

"Relativity" - love that one! It's a mind-numbing brain fuck. Hopefully that's also representational of your endorphins and oxytocin.

When I was studying fine art at university I had to write an essay on an artist I admired. I wrote on Arthur Rackham. It was rejected by my art lecturer who declared Rackham not to be a fine artist but rather an illustrator.

Fair enough I suppose

But if you gannets would be kind enough to consider him an artist, then I would certainly recommend his work to this forum

I would opine that illustration is a form of visual art. Rackham is invited...

That's cubism at its best. It's definitely going into the gallery!
