Back in my college days I had an art history class with Richard Brettell, the Impressionist scholar. He told us a joke about Renoir, who in his latter years had very poor eyesight. Renoir, if you recall, did a lot of paintings of nudes in a very very soft manner. So, one day after many years of painting without glasses, his wife convinces him to get a pair. Upon seeing his paintings for the first time with his glasses he turns to his wife and says, "Sacre merde, il est Bougereau!!"
O.k. well, its not Jay Leno, but it got a chuckle in the class.
