Fellas, I appreciate your opinions, but Renoir will remain one of the Impressionists I like. The very few I have seen in person are very full of life. I like that. I am not saying he is the end all of the Impressionists. Tim, I agree Mary Cassatt is very underated. I also like Van Gogh, because he was Van Gogh and had wonderful color, but I don't like late Picasso, unless of course Marvin has drawn it for him.

Regarding drawing, it is interesting to study the Impressionists. Sometimes it seems they drew badly on purpose, like it was "hip". Toulouse-Lautrec's drawing wavered all over the place.
