Message: Anyone any good sites for chess artworks or any nicely displayed chess venues etc? I'm renovating my room and the typical cars, anime, girls in bikini's are boring posters hanging on an 18 year old guy's wall. I thought chess would be quite interesting on my bedroom wall as means of decoration.

Message: ...in addition to being an accomplished artist, was a strong chessplayer. His "Portrait of Chess Players" ( -> xroads.virginia.edu ) should not be too difficult to find a print of. There is also his "The Chess Game" ( -> www.toutfait.com ). On the web it is much easier to find a picture of him sitting across a chessboard from a nude Eve Barbitz--this might be more appropriate for a college dorm room.
This page ( -> www.chessgraphics.net ) might be of some value.
