Thread: I used to think Art is Emotion. But I realised, after a lot of thought, that Art is Spiritual Emotion.

By Spiritual I mean a power greater than oneself. Not just God sitting on her cloud having a giggle.

Great art is Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Kollwitz or Rego

Like Gainsborough, Sargent was a superb portraitist & indeed like the English painter he was not keen on painting heads. Gainsborough liked painting kids & beautiful women & Sargent was of the same mind. Sargent was so sought after that he chose who to paint, however!
