And talk about BLUE . . . that Vermeer blue is about the most beautiful thing I have ever seen (I saw some of his work in Amsterdam, years ago, I've never forgotten it.)

Another artist that surprised me because he was so much better in the original was George Catlin, the Indian portraitist. We saw the exhibit of his paintings in the little museum catty-corner from the White House.

This one was never finished, but it just jumps off the wall at you.

So did I, along with less-known Dutch painters. Amazing stuff.

I like George Catlin, too, although my favorite American Indian art is the Kiowa School painters.

First, thanks for posting the other images of Vollard. I tried to post that to you earlier today, but there was a glitch and I had to run before solving it.

That is one of the best Catlin images I've ever seen. It is perhaps freer because it is unfinished.
