Renoirs until May 13th. There are a series of web-cast lectures about Renoir that will occur on their website and will be archived on fora.tv.<br /><br />However, before you do anything else(forget everything but remember this!)you must see the series &quot;The Power Of Art&quot;<br />which is on youtube, but also available on DVD. Specifically; the Van Gogh and Rothko episodes, especially the Rothko. And Caravaggio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142334417883071840.post-37754186936391370502012-02-16T18:29:09.773-05:002012-02-16T18:29:09.773-05:00Anonymous, I enjoy your posts more than my own. They are so far ranging, insightful and eclectic. So what I would like to say about the barista is that she is probably an American NYU college student...a typical American mix of x,y, and z. Naturally thin. Probably not as deep as I am projecting...but on her way to some interesting life. The Frick! Are they up yet! Oh and btw, I heard that Freud, though not so nice, was awfully brilliant---but again, not so nice.Nicole Gray-Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10634196487350459270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142334417883071840.post-20237517070687080202012-02-14T01:24:17.871-05:002012-02-14T01:24:17.871-05:00typo; experiments<br /><br />Excuse #1; poor proofreading<br />Excuse #2; it slipped<br />Excuse #3; earthquakeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142334417883071840.post-36823897113790791372012-02-14T01:20:28.140-05:002012-02-14T01:20:28.140-05:00Newsflash!<br /><br />Dateline 2012; Earth:<br /><br />The Global Headquarters obtains a new coffee maker!<br /><br />Yes, I know you&#39;re thinking this is hardly surprizing since we were using the old coffee maker for experimants in Particle Physics. However, despite the explosions (most of the staff have fully recovered) we are shocked at the lack of durability in our former device.<br /><br />Now, fully satiated in the bliss of caffeine once again, we can re-ignite the vital programs that so many people around the world depend upon. <br /><br />The first initiative is to assign a task force to conduct in depth research on the Barista mentioned in your latest communique. Several important questions need to be answered, including; <br /><br />a. What nationality is she?<br />b. If she isn&#39;t a narcissist, what does she believe in?<br />c. Does she have an older sister? <br /><br />While the staff is usually chomping at the bit to get to the next project, this project, with it&#39;s global, even galatic implications, requires the utmost discretion and experience. Therefore, I myself will spearheading the initiative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142334417883071840.post-33936410638225058192012-02-10T01:46:34.685-05:002012-02-10T01:46:34.685-05:00Don&#39;t a-capella sing-offs at 1:00 A.M. wake everybody up?<br /><br />Oh well.

Oh, and he thought about sex 24/7.<br /><br />Also, I understand he believed he would die at age 51, had a pet Hamster named Kaiser, was afraid of Sauer-Kraut and used to refer to everyone as; &quot;Bob-o-link&quot; no matter what their real name or gender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142334417883071840.post-64245745592481063322012-02-05T04:03:42.600-05:002012-02-05T04:03:42.600-05:00Whether in non-descript clothing or not, you may be among the throng, but not of the throng.<br /><br />Maybe you should take your Id out dancing just to shake things up.<br /><br />Or, one fun project is to change the art work in your home. This can usually be done inexpensively and is a lot of fun. Most people hang things on the wall that are chosen without much thought and never replace them. What a shame. They change, and their art doesn&#39;t. As if it&#39;s furniture. <br /><br />On Tuesday 9 full length Renoirs go on exhibit at the Frick, if you require inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142334417883071840.post-46384346971789811052012-01-31T21:24:31.454-05:002012-01-31T21:24:31.454-05:00Lisa--thank you. <br /><br />I bet you sing pretty well...<br /><br />I know what it&#39;s like to be too tired and too wired all at once.<br /><br />Thank goodness for morning coffee!Nicole Gray-Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10634196487350459270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142334417883071840.post-41664586630031171212012-01-31T12:57:18.589-05:002012-01-31T12:57:18.589-05:00Nicole, I love the way your thought processes make me think. You are a truly special and rare kind of writer and person. I do have an id, though like you and many other writer moms I know, it&#39;s tucked away most of the time. I think mine involves an obsession with a capella sing-offs on Youtube which I indulge at one a.m. when I&#39;m too tired to write and too wired to sleep!Lisa W.
