what if i say,"rhizo, you know, georg baselitz's infatuation with soutine is so felt at times that it makes me less interested in baselitz and more interested in soutine."
Follow Ups:
But if you were to say, "Rhizo, you know, the infatuation Georg Baselitz, a primary proponent of German neo-expressionism, feels for Chaim Soutine, an oft-overlooked Lithuanian painter at work during expressionism's original flourishing, makes me more interested in Soutine and less interested in Baselitz," then that would be annoying.
"rhezo, old chum, Soutine is not really Lithuanian per se, I'd say. He grew up in Borovichi[?] near Minsk. But close enough to Lithuania where he spent some time. His friendship with Modigliani and expressionist genius coupled with torment of private life could have made a great biographic film."
Modigliani a very passionate painter...
So it's 'rhezo' now...I fear for the integrity of my moniker in the face of such wanton butchery...So are you just partial to the expressionist end of the spectrum? Where else do your tastes in paintin' lie?
