What kind of art do you like best in a public place or in your own home, "modern art" that is very abstract in design, or art that is very realistically done, such as portraits, landscapes, seascapes or art with people in them?

I have a fairly good mix in my home. A couple of Jack Vettriano prints, a soapstone sculpture from Nicaragua, a Tiffany lamp, a meditation statue - all people subjects... but we also like vintage/antique photography of things that are meaningful to us; old houses, relatives, spiritual places... I appreciate mordern art outside of my home, but I love impressionism, classics like Van Gogh, Monet, Seraut... I wish I knew more about it though.

I really like surrealist art, H.R.Giger is an amazing artist in my opinion, and i like some of the work jessica galbreth does, i love to see art in architecture and also photography and computer editing done in such a way like autumn whitehurst does :)

I don't really like either best because a lot of realistic art bores me and I don't understand/like a lot of abstract art. I just like things that catch the eye and make me think about the scene/object/whatever. I like unusual things, be it a lonely landscape or an abstract with bright colors and weird shapes.

What a great question! I think it partially depends on the aesthetics of a building’s architecture for art to work in a space. Sometimes modern art can feel and look out of place in a very old building and on rare occasions it can work. Yet, older art can work in a very modern environment. In my own home, I prefer something modern and abstract and I would love to have a portrait by Julian Opie or a Chinese ancestor portrait. If I came across a landscape or seascape that I found stunning, I would not hesitate to purchase the paintings for my home.
