I've been to major exhibits of Van Gogh, Gaughan and Monet... I've got a 5 foot by 2 1/2 Monet print in my bathroom... Yeah, I know... No place fir a print but it's under glass (sucker weighs in at about 100 pounds weith frame...
Rembrandt bores me... I've seen so many of them over the years that after awhile they all look alike..
I'll check out the Hopper, Slag... I've got a entire book on him somewhere... BTW, I collect art books... Got well over 200 of them... Maybe 300??? I donno... My mom, bless her heart, still gioves me more of them every Christmas and birthday... Sometimes she gives me ones that she had allreadt given me...
You check out Estes, Slag??? Man, that guy is the absolute shits when it comes to painting stuff that is behind glass... You know, where you see both what is behind and the reflections of what ain't...
Hey, this will make ya'll drop yer jaws... I was telling yall about Will Anderson, the artist who got me started as a youngin'... We'll he was in Euope right after WW II and art was cheap... He came home with an orginal Bosch and two Albrect Durer woodblock prints... I remeber seein' them growing up but they really didn't mean all that much to me until I got into my teens...
