      Wish I'd a said that - until I had to back it up. Shoulda watched TCM - more my class.

      And I thought the French had more taste than the British. Perhaps it isn't a matter of taste, however, he doesn't seem to have been a lot different from the Bloomsbury crowd. No matter what genre though modern artists don't show me much, and it isn't the modernity. They are less expositors than they are expressors, by definition not knowing what they are about, or they play at metaphor as if it were an Erector set. "Build it and they will come..."

      My effete snobbery failed me misereably. Tried to fool myself that I 'got' it. Alas, maybe a commentor will enlighten me. Were some of these abstact genitals smeared around on the canvas? Mr. Campbells facility with words was as (or more) interesting than the 'art.'

      REMant, bail me out. I suspect I'm culturally hopeless. Do you have to be born with it?
