Drawn out




Did Impressionists draw anything other than the ire of knowledgeble draftsmen? (The above statement was made in the hopes that those with a good sense of humour would appreciate the ironic use of "draw" in a dual context, commonly refered to as a pun.

Any one who took offense at the remarks should understand that this was intended for humorous purposes only and not intended as a putdown of any person real or fictional. There is however, an inferred criticism of the lack of fundamental skills as preached by the French Impressionist painters (not to be confused with the American Impressionists some of whom could actually draw.)

How about my boy Tim Mensching? Is he great or what? How lucky was I to have a student like him, at least after he threw away the alizarin crimson?

Mary Cassatt had trouble determining the proper length of arms.
