do you like Seurat ?

it certainly has some immediate visual appeal;
like so many technique driven images;
though I don't see it as having "lasting power."

On the other hand almost any celebrity photo
will have some "lasting appeal;"
most especially when you pile on some accolades
to the photographer.
