The Learning Channel, Do you care for any contemporary/pop arteests? I have a particular liking for a guy named James Rosenquist. albrightknox.org creighton-davis.com creighton-davis.com I tend to like art that is specifically not realist. I do like everything from impressionist, abstract expressionist, some pop, surrealist, cubist. JXM

Just had a moment of inspiration (to the detriment of my official business, but what the hell...) and ran a web search on Caravaggio... among the rather pallid renditions of the works (which do succeed rather well in evoking distant memories of European travel), a few biographical tidbits: He was imprisoned for several assaults and for killing an opponent after a disputed score in a game of court tennis. Which perhaps begins to explain why the paintings explore that territory on which reality, experienced with sufficient intensity, becomes surreal. I imagine that Rembrandt must have been familiar with the works, or is that a case of parallel development, or overactive imagination? Why don't people paint that way any more? Is it because they don't want to, or because they can't? Steve
