Art's Best Winter Wonderlands

Tomorrow marks the official start of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, otherwise known as the most wonderful time of the year. 'Tis the season of rosy cheeks, icy sidewalks and hot chocolate, all the makings of a spectacular Bing Crosby holiday movie.

From Edvard Munch's snowy avenues to Wassily Kandinsky's multi-colored blizzard landscapes, scroll through the slideshow below to get a taste of the snow falls to come. And let us know which wintery scene is your favorite in the comments section.
