I embarass myself, and things like this give Pablo fuel for the fire when he mutters that "Americans know fuck-all about anything outside of America." I will keep an open mind about Turner's work, I promise. The detail from the painting "Richmond, Yorkshire" was a great idea thematically on the part of Penguin Classics, but its execution was lousy.<BR/><BR/>Pour of Tor,<BR/>Oh yes! Definitely move it to the top of the pile! Gilgamesh is a gem that deserves to be read!<BR/><BR/>Acquisitionist,<BR/>Thank you again for Gilgamesh. After that lovely break, I got back to Shirley.

Not sentimental, but beautifully told.

One of the best watercolour painters ever and Britain's major art prize is named after him.<BR/><BR/>http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turner/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
