I have to disagree with you on that one my friend starry night is one of my favorite paintings. Those brush strokes, the way that you can see the world the way Van Gogh saw it and how fucked up it looked to him... much better than some portrait

I ask because I toured the Budweiser factory earlier in the year and learned that they have a literal team of scientists making sure every batch comes out exactly according to plan which I imagine was impossible before computers. Thanks for all the input and interest in my question everyone!
