Mostly for symbolic value. A reminder of some sort. Otherwise I don't care much for paintings.

My favorite painting is a photograph by Michael Light. Unless the comics of Chris Ware could count as a painting.

Also, a lot of you guys have pretty obvious high school level try-hard taste in art. Sorry.

wow thanks for the tip, because I actually didn't know that and completely seriously thought they were both the same. In return I offer you a tip: sometimes on the website "4chan" people say things that they don't seriously mean and may have a few layers of irony (in it's extreme form this is called "trolling").
