I respect not "polluting" a thread with images, but the very topic is art! It seems perfectly in line with the subject matter to include images. When the conversation is about "what images should someone include in their house" it seems silly not to add images for purposes of inciting more discussion and improving discourse.
Why have the image function turned on in the first place if you preclude all images?
I just hope to respectfully voice my dissent.

I have most of my functions turned on but have to precluse some of them for temporal and spatial reasons.
Whereas I find google images an exhilerating tool, I find google scholar, and google book a far meatier resource.
I think it is easy to 'feel as if one has experienced art by simply clicking on an image. But this is, in my experience, far, far from the truth.
I remember sitting in front of a Rothko for the first time, and rather than a Penny Black what I got was an experience of being pulled further and deeper in Rothko's sense of failure and despair, his layers of darkness.
So many works of art, have, in reality, put me in a relationship with the artist. Reality does that.
The Hayward Gallery's On the Blamket exhibition, the Hatward's delicate salvation of Venetian flooded masterpieces. The role distance from a Monet. The fabulous elongation of the male's leg in Rodin's Kiss at the Tate Modern. Carved from too smaller piece of stone than he needed, Rodin did not eclipse the embrace but stretched it in space and of course captured it forever in time.
I would rather offer myself as a model and be bathed in latex than to see erotica squeezed into a click to view a larger image.
Dressed to thrill we are all works of Art......
ed to add: I love touching knobs.
