Man, I saw some stuff at the Met one time I was there that was radical. I wish I could recall what it was exactly. It was the culture that preceded Greeks I think, I can't recall. Anyway, they had this sarcophagus and some other stuff at the Met that was astounding. The word Mycenean comes to mind. I don't know if that is correct.

But for sculpture, I gotta say Michaelangelo was pretty friggin' good. You have to see the stuff in real life to really appreciate it. I mean, there are veins in the hands, cuticles on the fingers, the dude was crisp with his execution.

The painting I remember the best at the Met was this little painting by Jan Van Eyck. About a foot high and about 8" wide, with about a hundred people in it and every one of them looked alive.

Rembrandt was good too.

This is cool. I feel better.

cOUSIN SHORTY is being quiet. I hope that's good.

heh heh.
