Matisse a favorite of Nazi fat-ass, Herman Goering who hijacked scores of fine paintings from European Jews.

Probably Monet. Mrs Throbber v1.0 was into Monet in a big way - coffee table books, notecards, coasters...whatever she could get that had Claude's shit on it, she was down. Rather than be indignant, The Throbber has grown to appreciate Monet later in life.
Should have kept the Water Lilies print in the divorce settlement.

Hmmm...
Van Gogh is the Beatles of art.
I love Victor Vasarely, Salvador Dali, Ilya Repin, Ellsworth Kelly, Ivan Aivakovsky...
But of course the greatest painting of all time is Carte Blanche by Rene Magritte!

Corfu: Lights and Shadows
1909
John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925)
My favorite wife has a degree in fine arts. She taught me to appreciate how fucking hard it is to paint in water color. We have a print of this, it really pops against the filthy walls. When you relax and look at it, you can feel the warm Mediterranean breeze.

While Sargent was so well known for is Edwardian portraiture of high society (His Portrait of Madame X being one of the most famous), he did a couple of paintings with Bedouins as subjects (also in watercolor...well, I think technically gouache which is similar, just more opaque) that are really striking:
