Best Paintings in the Met

[Tom Edgerton]

Peter--

Not to put too fine a point on the argument, but attached is "Three Cheers," by PS Kroyer.

No less the living brushstroke, but far better draftmanship than the Renoir, to my mind.

But to each his own. I find your comments and appreciation illuminating just the same, and wish both of us the best in our journey.

By the way, I never did commit to the Met discussion. I hate to be so mainstream, but for me it's "Juan De Pareja," by Velasquez. I spent a good three hours before it a couple of years ago. Sorry to hear it's now under glass.

It has a soul.

Best--Tom
