Pete, I am an ex-russki but pretty much American. I would fight in U.S. army but don’t expect me to spill a drip of blood for any country in former USSR.

Phoebe Traquair (murals & tapestries, “the Progress of the Soul” is my favorite)
Hammershoi (simple elegant calming paintings with great light)
Fantin-Latour (beautiful detailed still lifes)

One day a greenhorn, next day a patriot. Watch out Kens, your kids will give you grief!
I love Miro, too, ArPUMA. Also Calder. And an amazing photorealist, Richard Estes.
