I entirely agree with you Michael, because that is my personal position of a good painting too. Spanish Master Diego Velazquez was superb at doing that. Just look at the sleeves of the dress worn by the little princess in "Las Meninas" by Velazquez. My idea of a good painting is the one that shows so much with such an economy of means. I admire the skill of Ingres for painting drapery and jewels, but I prefer the abbreviated style of Velazquez. Carolous Duran and his pupil Singer Sargent were great admirers of Velazquez.
