I can acknowledge that paintings like Gainesborough and Reynolds created are great art but I'm indifferent to most of it.

Living across the Potomac from DC meant that every year I and my fellow elementary school savages would get carted over to the National Art Gallery to be subjected to great art. I was immune their blandishments. I mean I do like Vermeer and Escher and a few other artists but I'm mostly a philistine.

I like traditional reproductive art as opposed to modern abstract art....I end with Impressionism...pretty much but not completely

I also enjoy illustrators like Russell and Remington or TH Benton

Some modern I do like......

Picasso
Matisse
Villon
Mondrian
Bonnard
Kandinsky...excellent

Native American southwest works

RC Gorman
Terpning
Frank Howell

Then there is Vermeer...prolly my favorite

I used to publish art....
