This has to be one of my favorite threads in awhile love art.
I didn't until I got older. Same with music and literature - despite all the classes in school. It's not like I listen to NPR all day or buy tickets to orchestra performances or visit art museums, but I do appreciate it.

That Seurat is huge. The Art Institute of Chicago is such a great museum btw.

Van Gogh's masterpieces weren't his paintings, but rather his cross hatched sketches of the European countryside.

His masterpieces are what I say they are.

I'm a big fan of Renoir...

Renoir's real masterpieces were his bar napkin coal drawings.

You think I'm joking, 808. Van Gogh's crosshatched drawings are absolutely incredible. Way ahead of their time...

Love the Impressionists, but Renoir is by far my favorite. Luncheon of the Boating Party is my favorite piece. Years ago, I saw a documentary about this painting. They focused on each person depicted individually, told their stories and talked about how they each knew Renoir and happened to be present on the day captured in the painting.

The first Renoir I saw in person was the original charcoal sketch (on a torn piece of paper) of one of his street dance scenes, I think it was Dance at Bougival. It was offered by an out of the way gallery in San Francisco for $13,500.
