REVIEWS
The Fifth Victim and more!

[lynn cates]

just an impression

Hello Adam. Thanks for this.

Look forward to the article on Toulouse-Lautrec. Hope it does not come up short. (heh-heh)

Cheers.

[Scott Nelson]

Or the significance reduced.

[Mayerling]

Hear me out: The long and the short of it is that if an impressionist or post impressionist has to be involved, it has to be either Vincent or Henri. Paul Gauguin is probably the runner-up!

[Robert]

"Hutchinson can you lend me The Moon And Sixpence?"

[Fisherman]

Monet-ary issues don´t apply, Robert.

Fisherman

First impressions.

Hello Christer. You remind me of the story about the three thieves who dressed in coveralls and drove a van to a museum. Posing as repair people, they proceeded to steal all the Impressionist canvasses. As they drove off, the theft was recognised and a chase ensued.

They would have escaped had they not run out of petrol. When asked about why they did not fill their tank, the mastermind replied,

"Sir, we did not have enough Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh." (heh-heh)

Cheers.

As Georges Seurat would have said, "I get the pointelism of the last remark."

[Scott Nelson]

George is Sir Rat.

[Robert]

Seurat - dotty paintings, dotty guy.

[lynn cates]

What will be . . .

Hello Jeff, Robert. As a painter, Seurat was OK, but I MUCH prefer his sister Kay.

Cheers.

[Robert]

Thought you might, Lynn, since you have a degree in tautology.

[Bridewell]

It's suggested on another thread that the killer was a Constable

[Robert]

Would that make him a Whistler too?

[lynn cates]

What's to be Gained?

Hello Robert. No, but it might make him a "Blue Boy."

Cheers.
