Two real masters of still life who are worth getting to know, if you don't know them already, are Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin, and Lubin Baugin.
The latter features in a really, really beautiful film called Tous les Matins du monde (All the mornings in the the world). As if one wasn't enough, the film stars two Depardieus unfortunately, but in this case the film easily outweighs Depardieu père and I recommend it highly. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tous_les_Matins_du_Monde B > On 21 Dec 2014, at 17:48, Don Guthrie <shark50...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Interesting information, Bill.
