500 random artworks based on mine and mine only. I'll try to represent diversity, but in the end I'm still an aesthetically prejudiced Wisconsinite. I like food and beer, art and learning, books and TV, afghans and shorts.

448. Second Army Attacks Port Arthur - Kobayashi Kiyochika - 1894 - MFA
A beautiful, propagandistic late (Meiji) ukiyo-e (woodblock print) celebrating a major Japanese victory in the Russo-Japanese war. Its immediacy reflects its impeccable craft.
