If Michaelangelo had painted his infamous murals on a wall in the park, would it have been objectionable?
I like this one by Salvador Dali. Saw the original at MOMA in NY. Thoughts? Comments? Magritte is another favorite of mine.

Certainly not an abstract or obscure one, but it's still one of my favorites.
I remember being in Europe and going through countless museums, including the Louvre. It was frustrating though, since all I got to see were Madonnas As valid as those religious paintings might be, if I see another depiction of the crucifixion with a bunch of people with halos over their heads, I'll probably break the nearest wall with my head.
Over in the next hall...French Revolutionary paintings...next to that, contemporary and abstract art...but NO! Off we go to see more Madonnas.
My favorite that I DID get to see was one of the few French Revolution paintings I got to see. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the painting It's a depiction of the revolutionaries climbing past the ones who'd fallen in battle, and they're holding their flag. Dangit now I need to find a picture of it The painting "Rape of the Sabine Women" (picasso) is always an enjoyable one, too. Moreso if you know the history behind it.

Pablo Picasso
Rene Magritte
Giorgio de Chirico
Salvador Dali
Paul Delaroche
Auguste Renoir
Eugene Delacroix
We need a museum in Folsom!
Saw this Picasso at MOMA in NY.
And this Renoir at the Louvre.
Loved this Delaroche!
But I digress... I can understand those that don't like art not liking any kind of graffiti, and perhaps not liking bad graffiti, but is there no graffiti that would be acceptable? For me it's simply a matter of taste, some of it I like, some of it I don't care for (particularly when there's no talent behind it).

de Chirico
or Magritte
even Dali
but don't care much for Pollock... go figure. The only one that comes close to my taste in Pollock's work is this one.
You could say that's a bit like graffiti abstracted.
