Subject: 24-1) Just going to throw out some phrases that seem to link Jamie with the artists:
In reply to: Elaine 's message, "Not the usual responses today - either it's because it's Monday, or perhaps because I went a little too far into surrealism here with today's questions. Promise tomorrow's will be more reader-friendly! Hope you don't mind if I just take a stab at these, if for no other reason than to generate some debate. Forgive me if I'm way off-base." on 16:23:46 09/17/07 Mon

(a) Hockney - bright and bold, a man reflecting his era, where details are not as important as the end result, whose subjects are revealed more by what is unseen than what is seen;

(b) Pollack - chaos and texture melding into pattern and shape, doesn't look like he makes sense but he does, there is a focal point in there somewhere but you must hunt for it - he will not hand it to you, angry but focused and in control;

(c) Rauschenberg - floating imagery, can be striking but also forbidding, occasionally turns to humor as if to say that all that is wrong can be made right somehow;

(d) Turner - Diffused, mostly subtle but can choose to be dramatic, he will never be fully perceived or clearly seen, has all the makings of a classical man but he will not conform, make of him what you will;

(e) Yeats - lover of his country, he meets you where you are not as he wishes you to be, Irish to the core, showcases the commonplace, shares in familial gifts and talents;

(f) Degas - brings light to the lives of others, a master of innuendo and subtlety, someone who seeks out the artist rather than the art, deliberately bawdy and sensual.
