Baldur! That IS it! I'm doubly stunned... first that it has morphed so much in my memory (there's a whole lot more going on there than I had kept in my mental picture, so much so that I'm afraid I'm going to have to build something more like my own vision now, tho' I do still love that overall veil-wrap and the smoooothness) ...and second that you managed to find it! |

I could be here all day and all night responding to this, but to simplify things I'll just say that many many years ago I realized that if something is supposed to be "great" - or rather "the greatest" - it probably is. And if you don't see why right away (I often don't), keep looking (or listening, or reading) until you "get it". Late Beethoven, Bach choral works, the Messiah, Wagner's Ring, Wilhelm Furtwangler, the Mona Lisa, the best of Vincent VG's last year or so, Cezanne, Picasso, Rembrandt, Titian, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Winged Victory, Greek vases, Lascaux, Tolstoy, Emily Bronte, Hegel, etc., etc., have staying power, never getting stale, always growing and deepening and evolving. |

I hope you can share with us some of what you're doing with the art history stuff, I mean the substance of it, and maybe a little about how and why the standards changed, what we're supposed to know that we didn't before. If you don't mind, and haven't totally overdosed on the subject. |

Sure. I will try to keep it brief though. I could go on and on and on... |
