Allan,

I agree that it's OK to be hard on the dead painters, as long as it's not in their obituary.

I was confused, I thought your comments were about the "Self 1790" painting.

As to "The Bather," I will admit that I will always be a sucker for a sweet face, and if they make it sweet enough I will give them the rest. I'm much too sentimental, I think. I also have no particular strength as a critiquer. I tend to look for something good and dwell on it.
