What are the word that you usually enter in Google to find greats wallpapers like this (http://k-ribou.com/wallpapers/)?

I know where to find, I know what to find but not how to find. :(

Those are nice wallpapers, allreet. I like to use fine art reproductions as wallpapers, some of the choices are pretty obvious (how long has it been since you actually looked at the Mona Lisa? That's my current desktop background on my good computer, and I enjoy it very much.) For something that specific, Google Images is great. Lots of great art is available in a size that is perfect for wallpapers.

True. Unfortunately, the downside with many of these art pictures is that the color in the digital picture can greatly vary from the original.

I for my part like to put Edward Hopper's (http://images.google.com/images?q=edward%20hopper&hl=xx-hacker&lr=&sa=N&tab=wi) paintings onto my desktop when the eleet bastard inside me is on vaccation and I feel like getting in touch with my sensitive side. :D
