Wonderful
Ah, thank you! [and thanks for the visit!] 🙂
No, I did not know this. But now I do. Thanks to you.
Not one of the masters but a great painter. I’m glad I introduced him to you. 🙂
Me too.

You’ve pressed the right button with me…Anything that is associated such beautiful art and music as this post and the last, is magic salve that makes one forget the endurance required to accept this virus restrictions on our lives, and who knows for how long. Thank you Marina you your tasteful generosity!
Oh, my dearest Jean-Jacques, you are the generous one, my friend with your kind words! Thank you so much. It makes me so happy to hear that my posts were the cause for a short break from this harsh reality we’re all in. Stay safe, my dear friend. 🙂
He did some beautiful work.
He did… even if he’s not included in the ‘greats’! 🙂
That is so true. And even some people the so-called experts say are “great”, are not that great….for example, Andy Warhol, can’t stand any of that “hack’s” work. Yet, he is considered wonderful and a master. What the?
Yes, well… publicity. I don’t go for AW either.
