4. Howsabout...

a little Brueghel the Elder?

5. I love Bruegel but prefer his less derivitive work

It must have been tough to work in the shadow of Bosch!

10. I love "The Harvesters"...

...it's part of the collection of the Metropolitan in New York--just a few blocks from my apartment!!!

11. Where do you live 79th? 80th? 81st? A bench in Central Park?

:shrug:

[Crankie Avalon]

13. HAH!

89th on the East Side. It's an easy walk for me. I'm even closer to the Guggenheim.

14. You sure are - what are you a bazillionare?

[Crankie Avalon]

15. HARDLY!!!

:D

...I was able to buy a small one-bedroom coop on 89th and Second in a modest non-doorman building.

There's quite a difference in the Upper East Side between what's east and west of..oh, let's say Lexington Avenue. East of Lexington is quite affordable by Manhattan standards. West of Lexington, with Park and Fifth Avenues, is a very "old money" with pre-war luxury doorman buildings.

6. My favorite artist

His stuff is messed up by today's standards.I can't believe that he did this stuff when he did and lived to tell about it :)

That's just a tantalizing piece of a fantastic whole!

8. His paintings have to be seen in the flesh

To really appreciate them. They're amazing. The Dali of his day. I love Jerry!

12. Hieronymus Bush

(I'm too lazy to start my own copy thread)

17. I love Bosch

I got into his work while browsing through a book in art class in 10th grade, and asked my teacher about it. He showed me some more of his work and it was just so strange, I loved it.
