Question ID: 443220
I'm looking for a few visual opposites that appear in famous paintings
and films/theater.  They should be 'titles' that represent night and
day.  An example of this is the film, "Night of the Living Dead". 
It's opposite is "Day of the Dead".  Another example might be the Van
Gogh painting "Starry Night", did Van Gogh ever do a day themed
painting with 'day' in the title?  I need 3-5 examples of each [3-5
paintings and 3-5 films or plays).  The more well known and popular
the titles, the better.

Thanks, Jon
