Yup Go to the and I go back to MET on a regular basis to view Clyfford Still, Manet, Courbet, ingres, Meissonier and Poussin, Eakins and Sargent - they also have some good Cezannes and can't be beat for the Hudson river school The Rosa Bonheur and Delacroix don't seem to hold up for me as well as they use to - for the most part the recent modern and contemporary at the Met are not very good and are badly hung

Is that possible? Is that permitted? Is it possible that a person can like and appreciate Meissonier and Matisse and Mondrian? Hot Couture and Saville raw? Oh dear, the earth moved, things fall down, the center will not hold. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady [email protected] http://considerthepreposition.blogspot.com/ Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] --
