Good choices! Vermeer is great, but I have only seen one in real life. I like the Northern Renaissance stuff at the Met in NYC. Rembrandt was a good painter, I've seen a bunch of his stuff. I saw the Leonardo at the National Gallery. I walked in there at about 10 a.m. with the whole day to spend, went to the Leonardo, got a chair, sat down, and left when they closed and kicked me out. I missed everything else, but I saw that painting. Friggin' thing looked like it was still wet. Really interesting story behind the woman in that painting. History has it all wrong, but that's another post. Yeah, I am tough on Sal. Sorry. I object to the whole reasoning behind the work, the subject matter, the titles, everything. It's scary how intensely I object to his work, whereas someone like Gieger, who is ten times the craftsman, and twice as crazy, I kinda like. Takes all kinds I guess. The funny part is that some people would describe some of my work as "surrealist", (they would be wrong, but that's what they would say).
