Modern Art Desktop Pics

People who put pictures on their desktop suck. I suck. But I'd rather look at modern art than at Fantasy in Chrome, or whatever those cheesy stock desktop patterns are called.

I've descrated many of the works with Photoshop. Apologies to the artists, and to those of you unnerved by my amateurish skills.

Update: I've downgraded the style of this site by resorting to the Photoshop Automated Web Photo Album feature, which produces thumbnails and an html table very quickly, with the side effect of looking somewhat like ass. The reason for this change is because the recent load I lifted from the Crown Point Press web site made the thumbnailing task too arduous for this mere mortal.

If you ever want to buy art, shop at Crown Point first. You'll be a better person.
