I doubt that a Van Gogh or a Cezanne could be taught anyway. In many ways they broke the mould (mold?) and wouldn't have conformed. Art as an academic subject is not the same as art itself. In the same way my daughter learns a lot about music theory but Segovia she ain't.

I apologised to you for having thought that someone else's post was yours.

It didn't say I followed people around forums. It said I was well known on many forums and I was curious to know which ones they were as I don't actually visit that many very often, probably 4 on a daily basis and others less frequently.

I follow everyone around this forum because I look at all the new posts to see if there's anything interesting been written since I was last here. If a subject has some interesting new posts I answer them, if there is nothing new worth saying than I just move on to the next one. If you check my posts you'll see that I have responded to many people.

I absolutely love some of Klimt's work - especially the meticulous detail in the hair. I don't have that kind of patience.
