Gorgeous. I tried to take a self-portrait in front of this. Warm warm warm.

This actually may have been my second favorite painting to experience. It's really cool in person, with all the different 3D textures to look at up close.

Very colorful. A non-drip Pollock. The key to what, I wonder? (The treasure?)

The lady with the glowing green face is fantastic. The placard next to the painting said Toulouse-Lautrec actually CUT OFF that part of the painting in an attempt to get it to sell (because the green-faced lady was too weird). What the HECK!She's CLEARLY the best part. There was a mini version with a line showing the part that cropped, and I tried to imagine the painting without that part. It would be so boring! Luckily, they restored it and you can't even tell.

I always hated this painting when we played Masterpiece.
