I felt a lot of associations between paintings today. The Piero starts it all out with it's classical reality from the Greek.
I've always loved this head to foot relation of Piero which makes a very solid reality which echoes through Art History and right here today in the Homers.
Homer has this classic solidity. Especially in some etchings which the Clark doesn't own.
That same solidity is in this Renoir and also in his Sculpture.
I wonder if the Homer's reality is coming through Goya. He takes the classic and relaxes it into the everyday, but the underpining is still there. This is a great little Goya.
Homer is also extending from Manet. There is a great Watteau here also which show the lineage of bravura paint, I usually associate with Hals, and Goya. Here Berthe Morrisot.
This Renoir also shows the classical outline and shape.
This is surprisingly a Singer Sargent, I see the Morisot portrait by Manet!
