Say it right
The other day a noted gallery owner mispronounced a name. There are several artists that get mispronounced so often that I'm no longer sure myself. This guy said Henri as a French first name. I've always heard that Henri was an American that assumed his name after his father was convicted of murder and that HE always wanted it pronounced Hen-rie, not "on ree"
The other is Ingres. The French tell me it's 2 (not one, syllable), very soft second...ong-grah.
Van Gogh sounds pretty nasty when said right and always sounds like putting on airs when said true to the Dutch. When is correct right?
