Dunno if Robin appreciates Dadd or not, but prolly does. Dadd's +Fairy Feller's Master Stroke+ strikes me as a monument in art: a pensioner's allotment of carpeted crops overstood with all the seduction of lyrical, direct sensuality and politic(al) murder-threats. The focus, I think, is (center mid-foreground) the tiny seated white-bearded man in his emotional chaos-cocoon - the painter, p'raps, as he feels/sees himself in the Bethlem limbo. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dominic Fox" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 5:47 AM Subject: Re: Cranach nudes > Robin Hamilton wrote: >> There is, of course, the problem of distance. >> >> I never did get close enough to Richard Dadd's "Oberon and Titania" to >> see it as Dadd -- miopic and quite crazy -- did > It stands to reason that you'd appreciate Dadd.
