Tim,
Could you post some examples of the works by famous masters who you feel are overrated? Would like to know more about why you would choose 1865 instead of a date in the 16th or 17th century.
I have another question. Do you feel that there is a tradition in painting still going on in the States, by artists who were thaught by artists who were thaught by artists that were trained by people like Sargent or other academiccally trained people in the 19th century? I ask that because while developments were cut off here in Europe, in America there were -maybe- some artists that kept something of the traditions in painting going?
Peter
