What is your favorite period of Art?

@izzythepush,

that was funny. I think I knew these guys(I loved the way the did an artsy critique of Vernon Ward).

If you ever attempt to schlepp some food into the Philly art museum, theyd shoot you like a rabid dog.

@farmerman,

Peter Cook is my favourite comedian of all time. Dudley Moore is better known over there having starred in 10 and Arthur. Peter Cook was the bishop in The Princess Bride, but didn't get a lot of roles in American films.

@izzythepush,

didnt recognize him when he was younger. I recall his many roles in Monty Pythonesque stuff where he p[layed a clergyman who would drone on and on with indecipherable sentences containing a speech impediment.

I think he patented that droning Bishop role
"we aw hewe to join this maahn and this woman in howy matwimony"

@farmerman,

I always thought Pete and Dud were better than Python. Python was part of a tradition, and it's mostly chance who ended up in the team. Two forerunners of Python contained some of the eventual team, but also others. Here's a "Python" sketch performed before Python with some Python members.

Do not Adjust your Set was a kid's programme responsible for people knocking off work early on a Friday to get back to see it, again some Python members, but not all.

Code:[img width=834]Link To Picture[/img]

I find that width=960 perfectly fits the max width of the a2k screen, width=888 perfectly fits inside a single quote rectangle, and width=834 perfectly fits inside two nested quote rectangles.

I went with 834 so it would be friendly if someone decided to quote my entire post.

@oralloy,

Thanks for resizing the painting. I use a cell phone and I have no idea how to resize. The best I can do is download images from one or two search engines. I can't even transfer images from Google. And I'm unable to transfer downloaded images to a 2K. I can transfer images from Bing and web crawler, that's it.

@oralloy,

a wee bit smaller. You can see the dimensionality a whole lot better. When I only saw brushstrokes it left me thinking that he wanted us to see some more

NOW , can anyone rotate it 90 to the right?

Antonio Saura, "Dana" 1958

This one is smaller. I didn't resize it.
This is truly abstract. There is not one recognizable or representational bit in the whole work, and that's the way I like it.

Did a monkey do this? Perhaps an elephant?

@farmerman,

Thanks, Farmerman. I I was hoping somebody would reduce the size since I can't. These Saura works need to be seen.

@edgarblythe,

The beauty lies in its simplicity, which is infinitely complex, or maybe it's complexity which is infinitely simple. One or the other, I don't know. Edgar, just relax and be patient, it'll happen.
