What are some good prints for a nursery, real art, not bunnies and pastels?

I want to put something in the nursey that will actually be stimulating to my newborn son and not be horrid decor crap with pastels and little animals. I have Dali throughout my upstairs hall and master. Waterhouse in the guest room and assorted others in the living, dining. I had thought of Van Gogh Starry Night or Matisse Goldfish or even some of the Escher color prints. What do you think? I have some 36 x 24 frames ready to go so I am looking for popular stuff that I could find on art.com or allposters.com. Any suggestions appreciated.

Look for things with color and contrast… vibrant color … geometrical shapes… and don’t forget the one thing baby looks at all day long… faces. Photos of family and loved ones, things like that.
Congrats and good luck!
Oh, I was going to say Mattisse before I even read the rest of this question! The fauvism movement and the wonderful colors will be so very stimulating!
alexander calder is pretty vibrant and fun
Well, this may not be your taste, but Charles Wysocki’s art is bright, colorful, vibrant and full of detail.
I’m not an affiliate….just love his work!
If you are interested in something more modern, check out Mahar Dry Goods, they have a wonderful selection of prints and posters that are more unusual but fantastic.
Have a look on firstposter.com, they have some clearence art print packs.
