Probably, yeah :p As someone with little knowledge of art (something i expect most the people here can relate to), my opinion of a piece of art is limited to its visual appeal. In that regard, the VVG's sunflower painting looks pretty damn ugly. Starry Night at least has a degree of charm to it (even if, again from the perspective of a laymen, it looks like something a GCSE art student could do).
On a side note, while i applaud the subtlety of this thread, it's a somewhat flawed argument (though i don't think you made it to be taken literally). Comparing realistic and stylistic graphics isn't simply a matter of immediate visual appeal, since technical accomplishment comes into play. People tend to be most impressed by things they know are difficult, and when it comes to graphics nothing is more difficult than mimicking the real world.
Personally, i think games look best when they find a balance between. I think the 2 best looking 2015 games (of what we've seen) are The Witcher 3 and The Order: 1886, since not only do they achieve an incredibly high degree of realism, but they aren't afraid to take artistic liberties in their presentation of the word (TW3 in particular). That's just my opinion though o/
