          • The fact the HC, Reg and Al seem to have identical views on art should be enough to give HC and Reg pause.
            “It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

              Truth. I'd probably still spend more of my time in the antiquities wings of the Louvre though. I can appreciate Renaissance Art and definitely see its appeal but I like Surrealism in my paintings. In sculptures, I'll concede the Renaissance style is probably the zenith of the art form.

                    • My favorite museum in the DC area is the by a wide margin is the Air & Space Museum. My least favorite is the Smithsonian Art Museum. This should give a pretty good insight into my tastes. Now, the current discussion about OMG someone doesn't think paintings are SUPER FASCINATING *aneurysm* is amusing, but quickly getting boring. If I don't find it interesting, the opinion of a total imbecile on poly (here's looking at you molly bloom) is not going to change that.

                        If there were an art museum within 30 minutes of here where I could see it in person that's great*, but I'm not interested in flying across an ocean and spending gobs of money to look at something hanging on a wall when Wikipedia has it in a form that isn't stuck behind six inches of security glass.

                          • Hell yeah. If you don't think the Space Shuttle is a hundred thousand million times cooler than the ****ing Mona Lisa you're an idiot and that's not an opinion it's a fact.

                            • Um, i don't think paintings are super fascinating either, but from that to find them utterly boring there is a long stretch...

                              In any case, my recommendations do take into account your interests.

                                Yes, actually I have been taking note of them. Thanks for your suggestions
