What's the Real Secret Magic in the Magic Square? - The Hidden Secrets in Albrecht Durer's Art and Life

There are many great pieces by Durer. Most of my favorites are his prints (including the one posted)
and his nature and animal paintings.

Nocturne - James Abbott McNeill Whistler (Circa 1870-1877)

Nocturnes are incredibly difficult to do well. Whistler and Turner could both pull them off very effectively.

I completely agree. I think Tonalism overall is a very underrated art movement.

OMG! We have a Donald Roller Wilson. 'Madonna suffers a hot flash.'

Cary Fisher has a TDF collection of his work. Her walls were covered with his work. And she had some of his very interesting early work, before he started doing the animals.
Wondering what is happening to her collection.
