There are those that say that art can not be judged against other art. And there are those that say that art can only be judged by category, painters vs. painters, writers vs. writers and so on. And then there are those, like us, that say throw them in the ring. We wrote down a list of 124 works of art we felt we could make a case for as being truly great (including books, paintings, sculptures, films, albums/songs) and put them in a hat. We chose two at random. And so now we ask you to choose, which is better?

You must choose one. There are no ties.

Please put on your lawyer hats and make your case for the winner in the COMMENTS section (Scroll to the bottom). Be as concise or in depth as you like. Every Friday we’ll have a new installment. We’ll tabulate the results and reveal the definitive and absolute winner on Friday of the following week.

Pablo Picasso’s, The Old Guitarist, 1903

Woody’s Allen’s 1984 film, Broadway Danny Rose
