"I actually prefer abstract art"
Do you have any samples of that?
That's the great thing about the internet. There is an art professor (I am on her ping list, I hope) who posts on FR. Her FR name is "Republicanprofessor" and she is quite remarkable...incredible insight into art and a powerful writer (I am copying her on this post). But Google Picasso, Braque, Jackson Pollack, Matisse, Van Gogh, and all the moderns...I will dig up some other names...one of my faves is Mark Rothko (I have a reproduction in my study...gives me much inspiration). And do a search for "Republicanprofessor"...reading her posts is like a grad course in whatever she posts on.
