^^ Me too. I don't care how cliche that is. They are so powerful when you get to see them in person. They lose a little bit of their life in a photograph... but they're still tremendous.

yeah, i think people worry about cliches and being mainstream too much.

in art circles there are these certain kinds of artists who pretty much judge your worth based on how obscure and rare your favorite artists are. i think the pinnacle for them would be an artist whose paintings and records had all been destroyed 400 years ago, an artist whose work only exists now as a memory. :rolleyes:

The first time I saw this, I remember thinking nothing had ever looked so right to me before.

I love Parrish too. I wasn't familiar with Smith, but have checked him out since. I really like what I have seen of his work. :)
