I think you're selling us short. Most of the people on this thread--the usual suspects on art posts--are keen on the impressionists and post-impressionists. It's when you start talking abstract, non-representational art that the conversation tends to get heated. As for me, I think Mark Rothko, for example, is very nearly godlike when it comes to making objects of lasting beauty and intrinsic meaning.

I spend entirely too much money buying art, but I'd be tempted--if I had such a thing as disposable income--to buy just one drawing by Degas. Just one.
