Ping.
I noticed, on the Klimt thread, that you wanted to be added to Liz's list. So I thought I'd ping this to you. If you want to be on this other list, let me know.

My favorite Monet witch hangs in my home. I love the color and serenity of this painting.

Monet and Degas are THE Best. Gauguin is the beginning of what went wrong with Modern art. I guess you could say it is the fundamental flaw in Impressionist work, the triumph of art theory over artistic skill, but at least most of Impressionist work the beauty is redeeming. There was skill in execution and skill in composition all of which falls apart after the neo-impressionists. Fewer and fewer artist had the skill and very few had the ability to compose a setting or grouping. It is all art theory that only speaks to a few. An insiders club so it was just a short walk to the Emperor has no clothes school of modern art.
