CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Wireless Flash) -- Americans' taste in art is going to the dogs -- literally.

Coolidge's cheesy painting of several dogs playing poker is one of the most popular pieces of art in American homes -- especially in the Midwest. That's not to say Americans don't have any taste: the No. 1 poster or painting is Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night." Other popular posters include... -- The famous photograph of New York City construction workers eating lunch while suspended on a high-rise beam. -- The poster featuring dozens of chile peppers. -- And, finally, the Cinzano liquor ad.
