And...
I would think one's response might depend what you can and cannot see.
Picasso just confuses me for the most part. "tanadashoes" wrote in message m... hopitus wrote: You have a discerning eye, anyway. Kinkade was/is (like, is the dude dead?) NOT Picasso. ROFL. Do you like Toulouse Lautrec? One of my faves. Unfortunately, Kinkade is still alive and living and has his art studio in Western North Carolina. His art is not demanding. There is not need for an emotional response to his work. It is pretty lighting and so forth, but that's about it. I was more impressed with Mary Casset, Laura Burch (who also doesn't demand an emotional response, but gets one), Monet, Manet, and Suratt. Pam S. who is sure she spelled some of these incorrectly. |

Unfortunately, Kinkade is still alive and living and has his art studio in Western North Carolina. Good luck to the guy - he has talent that he's put to use and folks love what he does. Its not to my taste, but hey, he's probably brought happiness to more people than I ever well, so goo on him. His art is not demanding. There is not need for an emotional response to his work. It is pretty lighting and so forth, but that's about it. I was more impressed with Mary Casset, Laura Burch (who also doesn't demand an emotional response, but gets one), Monet, Manet, and Suratt. Now the impressionists knew about light! I paid a small fortune and fought my demophobia to see an exhibition of Money and the Impressionists at the NSW art gallery last year. I could have sat there all day and still not had my fill of them, but the crowd itself kept us moving at a steady pace. My very favourite is this one http://www.rleggat.com/photohistory/...et-sunrise.jpg but I have yet to see an even remotely adequate reproduction of it. I'd encourage everyone to get to a Monet exhibition if they possibly could. Seurat is the guy who painted in another imrpessionist who painted in dots - he could be plamed for the method of colour printing using just 3 (or 4) passes of ink - by using dots. And Laura Burch's work is just delightful without being saccharine. But perhaps I am biased because of the subject :-) Yowie |

I also love the Giverchney garden series. Or was that Manet? One of my fantasies is to own a Laura Burch print or painting. Won't happen, but I can dream, right? Pam S. |
