  1. “So you’ve never looked at a piece of art and appreciated some quality of it?”

    Sure I have. What’s not to appreciate about good decoration? I didn’t say I don’t appreciate it.

    “Did you never learn something looking at piece of art?”

    No. I can honestly say that I have never, ever learned something looking at a piece of art. At least if you’re talking about painting and sculpture and photography and stuff like that.

    “It’s never touched you?”

    If you include dancing, then yes it has.

  2. Etson;

    I have a question for you. I am the financial secretary for a small 501C charitable/fraternal organization. I just took over this year, and one of the responsibilities is to work with our accountant to prepare our filing with the IRS. Since we are a small organization, he filed a short form (a 990-EZ), yet he charged $950. This strikes me as pretty outrageous, but I’m new at this.

    I know you’ve done some 501C work, so I’d appreciate any take you have on his fee.

    Thanks

    So you’ve never looked at a piece of art and appreciated some quality of it? Did you never learn something looking at piece of art? It’s never touched you?

  4. hey,
    they’re crazy with their admission prices Pete!
    like 30 dollars a person.
    I have paid though only because I hate massive
    crowds, I think *rob* would have a heartattack there
    with all the art students on Thurs. evenings.

    Kens,
    I believe that most of his illustrations were actually
    done in oil then photographed for print.
    btw, where have you been hiding for the past 6 months?
    I thought you decided to stay in Spain.
