Get to the point

Quote:
How many artists out there have studied with Paxton who died in 1941? Or is this one of those, "Well I know so-and-so who studied with so-and-so who studied with so-and-so's cousin who once cleaned Frans Hals' house."
What is your point? That the legacy of information that artists have been passing down from generation to generation for the past 500 years, such as the concept of ratioing values in the real world down to the limited range available in paint, has no validity?

Marvin, you and I are not ever going to agree on this.
I definitely agree with that one!
