I am absolutely in love with the landscape artists of the Hudson River School.

When I saw this painting at the Museum of Modern Art, even though I’d see representations of it so often, it just stunned me.

And maybe something by Zdzislaw Beksinski for my latest, urban fantasy?

So my choice would naturally be one of his paintings (though he wouldn´t call them masterpieces) and a special edition hardcover illustrated by him would be even better 😉 (yes, I keep on dreaming!)
