I think we both fancied the same person. I read TS Eliot to her; he let her borrow his Luger for her protection. Neither of us was successful.Tim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681067872556519250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986859794357539818.post-49336483383511382372013-08-11T09:38:09.322+01:002013-08-11T09:38:09.322+01:00where did you meet, Tim?

It made me think there isn't really any such thing as the art world, there are many independent art worlds. But there is a definite snobbery at work between some of those worlds, that would rank art into a hierarchy. (I don't believe in hierarchies, I'm an ANARCHIST.)<br /><br />But I guess if I had to put all of those anywhere, they'd go in the category of Graphic Art.<br /><br />Interesting - I think that Dürer would come under Old Master, woodcuts and all. Clearly, we bow down before his engravings and woodcuts, but at the time they were seen as a way to disseminate (sp?) his real work, his paintings - the prints were the bedroom wall poster art of the times. They helped to make him famous when his paintings were in private collections in rich people's houses.<br /><br />Also, I worship Toulouse-Lautrec, when I win the Lottery the first thing I would buy is any of his whorehouse pictures, but I wonder if his posters were seen as fine art at the time.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941917503687179585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986859794357539818.post-8828416850560671622013-08-10T17:38:05.762+01:002013-08-10T17:38:05.762+01:00Comic book art/cartoons?

Where would you put a poster by Toulouse-Lautrec or a woodcut by Dürer?Tim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681067872556519250noreply@blogger.com
