pvon,

Most of the credit here should go to Dean for sharing so many fantastic images from his extensive collection with us. Getting to know some background history of the artwork and artists, their thoughts, the timelines and social perspectives, always adds appeal and panache to all our various fields of collecting. When these mythic tales and historic facts are brought to life by these talented visualists, it helps fire our imaginations and furthers the basic understanding of other lifetimes. A drawing or painting is a thought or moment that captures time, and hopefully conveys some message to us, the viewer. Looking at a good picture should be every bit as entertaining as reading a classic work of literature or listening to a fine symphony by one of the masters.

In the immortal words of the 20th century composer, Rod Stewart, "Every picture tells a story..." - don't it? grin

Best!

Bill
