This week we want to know, what famous piece of art are you tired of seeing reproduced on everything? Does Klimt’s The Kiss make you lovesick? Starry Night make you want to turn off the lights? You have until 12/11c Monday to answer. Click for official rules.
I was going to say Klimt's "The Kiss," i thought of it immediately before reading the example. I am so tired of seeing it everywhere!!
Thought about this alot and finally decided on Andy Warhol's" Marylin Monroe" she has been the most reproduced or shall I say the" image" of Marylin Monroe has been reproduced in so many ways, by so many artists, famous or not, to me Marylin's image has caputred ALOT of Imaginations.
Mona Lisa gets my vote.
Anything from Monet
The Scream!
had to add e-mail
So tired of seeing the reproduction of the "fingers touching" section of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam.
I have to say the Mona Lisa is the first art piece that comes to mind. I am tired of seeing that portrait. I never did really see what was so great about it. My favorite artists, to mention a few, are Renoir and Monet. I never get tired of seeing their paintings reproduced. But, the Mona Lisa, I am tired of. Let's give her a break.

The scream defintely not one of the artists best ones I hate to say.
Apparently I agree with a bunch of other people that "The Scream" is overused. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing piece of art, but does it need to be EVERYWHERE???
Marilyn Monroe. She was beautiful yet anything repeated can be a little much.
anything by picasso

The art piece I am tired of seeing reproduced is the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Di Vinci. This work has been reproduced and shown in places from art galleries to cartoons and movies. This work is over used in and even made fun of. People have made fun of this portrait for several years and reproduced this portrait with a mustache, different face, and different hair. This was a beautiful plece it is just over used in society.
Scream for sure…lost it's creativity because of all the places that have used it….
As a college student…I'm tired of looking at anything by Salvador Dali.
When I saw Thomas Kinkade paintings at a garage sale I knew I was not alone in lost interest.
Blue Nude 2 by Matisse
Word art-Memories, Family, Share, Inspire, Delight, Dream.
Another vote for Monet's water lilies. Insipid.
Here's another vote for the "Mona Lisa" — sorry, Mona, but your smile is wearing a little thin!
Definitely Starry Night
The cheap reproductions in home furnishing stores of semi-abstract trees or leaves. I find original work so accessible anymore and worth every dime. I think a reproduction immediately cheapens the look of any house. I love some of the art I find online. One of my favorite paintings ever is a large poppy I have hanging in my living room, from an american artist…and it was worth every penny I paid for it.
