What about some Dalí and Hopper's Nighthawks?
Nighthawks is included already. Yeah, something by Dali- personally i like Metamorphosis of Narcissus but Persistence of Memory may be his best known? I left room for quite a few to make up a full 100.
I oversaw Nighthawks. As for Dalí, my personal favourite is Persistence of Memory, but he has a lot of great works.
This one is probably less known, but equally great, for instance.
A new one on me certainly. Hints of Velasquez and Magritte.
Yeah, talking of him, where's Magritte here?
