I have two absolute favorites.

The first is film. Being able to move allows the artist to convey more meaning then they could with only one frame. Being able to add sound (and thus character, dialogue and plot) just adds to the layers of meaning that the director can create.

The other is Dutch 17th century landscape paintings. The way that they capture color and light just amazes me. There are a bunch of these paintings at the Getty Center, and I always find myself spending most of my time there admiring them.
