Daybreak is a painting by American artist Maxfield Parrish made in 1922. Daybreak, inspired by the landscape of Vermont and New Hampshire to create lush and romantic tones, is regarded as the most popular art print of the 20th century, based on number of prints made: one for every four American homes. According to the National Museum of American Illustration, it has outsold Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans and Leonardo's Last Supper. It is still in print.

The painting is also part of the core of the neo-classical popular paintings that started to gain traction at the beginning of the 1920s. His work in his staple style was also popularized by the large scale murals he painted in the 1930s.

The Nightmare is a 1781 oil painting by Swiss artist Henry Fuseli. It shows a woman in deep sleep with her arms thrown below her, and with a demonic and ape-like incubus crouched on her chest. The painting's dreamlike and haunting erotic evocation of infatuation and obsession was a huge popular success.

After its debut at the 1782 Royal Academy of London, critics and patrons reacted with horrified fascination. The work became widely popular, to the extent that it was parodied in political satire and engraved versions were widely distributed. In response, Fuseli produced at least three other versions.

There is no difference between the art that is displayed in galleries and museums and that which is on the streets. This is a certainty by Eduardo Kobra - and also the idea behind the first mural painted by the Brazilian in Spain, highlighting the face of none other than Salvador Dalí. The Catalan surrealist painter has always been one of Kobra's references, an icon of creativity, innovation and rupture: in a new rupture, he is now on the façade of the Puertas de Castilla Cultural Center, in Murcia, Spain. A work of art just outside a cultural center - more precisely, on the street, the most democratic art museum in existence.
