The last in this organized series. I'll be open to requested subjects in the future. Some have already suggested portraits as a topic. I am also open to special art history periods or topics of the past.

Excuse me, but are we being "mooned" by one of those paintings?

Art Appreciation/Education ping.

Sorry for the intensity of the recent posts. Had to make up for lost (vacation) time before the school year begins.

I hope there is some humor and politics in this essay to lighten the (sometimes intense) theory.

Let me know if you want on or off this ping list.

I can't tell you how much I appreciated and enjoyed your art series. I hope you check in from time to time as your schedule permits.

This may sound like an odd request, but it's "arty". I hope in the future you will do an essay on famous illustrators from the Golden Age of Illustration and beyond.

I always loved Constantin Alajalov's Saturday Evening Post covers. They were so stylish and interesting to me, a little girl. Maxfield Parrish also intrigued me. There were other magazines and books illustrated by these deft and stylish artistes. I'd love to see some of their famous works again here so we can all have our memories happily refreshed.

These masters were in a class all by themselves and I miss their illustrative genius on the art scene today.

Thanks for the work you've put into these. I've learned a lot. Admittedly I don't enjoy most of the types of art we've discussed but I have a far better realization of why I don't like them.

Hope you do more.

Thanks for sharing so much information and insights. I've really learned a lot. And thanks for providing the links to the past "lectures". Now, I need to go back and review them because I think I missed stuff on the first go round.

Hope your vacation was great!

The news today is that some self-described performance artist took a hammer to the "urinal".
