He's 19th Century, but Thomas Eakins was always a favorite of mine, even more than Winslow Homer.

There is plenty of great art out there. Sometimes it just requires the right inspiration.

“When I am alone with myself, I have not the courage to think of myself as an artist in the great and ancient sense of the term.
Giotto, Titan, Rembrandt and Goya were great painters. I am only a public entertainer who has understood his times and has exhausted, as best he could, the imbecility, the vanity, the cupidity of his contemporaries.
Mine is a bitter confession, more painful than it may appear, but it has the merit of being sincere.”—Pablo Picasso

Ah Yes, Modern Art, the Neon Genesis Evangelion of Artwork.

In the end, it makes no damn sense.
