Wow! What a great lot of art lovers you are! I have enjoyed the posts and the wide variety of art represented.
Several years ago I went to a traveling MOMA exhibit that came to Houston. There were many famous paintings including Starry Night by Van Gogh. I had seen the painting many times in books and frankly wasn't a huge Van Gogh fan. But as I stood in front if it, you could see every single brush stroke and suddenly I felt overwhelmed with emotion. It was like I was standing there watching him paint it and you could feel the raw power, love, pain and desire for perfection all in one moment. I actually started to tear up right there in the museum. I have never felt that way about a piece of art before or since, and feel it was one of those rare moments in life when your soul is truly touched by something.

Yes!!!! I had the same reaction to Renoir's Water Lilies Series....the museum had benches down the middle of the room so You could take it all in (they're huge....maybe 8' high X 25' long!! ). I remember having to sit down and just weep. I wasn't alone. Art is powerful. |

For me it's always been Tom Thompson and the Group of Seven. They were a group of artists from the 1920s in Ontario, Canada. My favourite remains Lawren Harris. His stark paintings always make me think of home and the beauty of Canada.

The name I couldn't think of last night was Richard Avedon. I saw an amazing exhibit of work he shot throughout the West. No one famous in an of them. The collection was called The American West. Full of stuff like this:
![]() He's famous for stuff like this: ![]() But he's so much more. I'm also a big fan of Mapplethorpe, Annie Liebowitz and really, who doesn't love Wegman's silliness? |

Degas is best known as an Impressionist and was a prominent member, if not the strongest promoter, of the group. He was outspoken about the need for artists to join together and establish a place for themselves as proponents of a new, contemporary artistic sensibility. Degas organized what is now known as the first Impressionist exhibition and planned many of the subsequent shows. He initially called himself and his compatriots "realists," which pointed to their interest in drawing inspiration from their own environments and experiences. The term "impressionist" was adopted later, at the time of the third Impressionist exhibition, despite Degas’s objections to the name. Degas allied himself with other Impressionists, such as Pissarro, met with them at the famous Café Guerbois, and participated in all but one of the eight Impressionist exhibitions.
