I was reading this thread, which got me into investigating the Met online, which led to my discovery of this painting:

http://www.metmuseum.org/collections...1971%2E115%2E6

This is certainly not the best painting in the Met, although it might, arguably, be the worst. Nevertheless, I found it to have a certain idiosyncratic charm. Of course that has nothing to do with the name of the artist.

But seriously, this name is so statistically infrequent that there must be some connection with a certain Forum member. Is it a case of "biology is destiny"? Or are matters much more serious than that? Do you think I should call in Shirley MacLaine for a consultation?
