Should have been: "I like this one very much." Fauvism is a sort of evolution from impressionism. You could say that (for some) it led to expressionism. But I also understand the refences to the Vienna era. Lots of things were happening at different places in those days: artists travelling back and forth from Pari, "spreading the world". So, take it as a compliment, not a hidden critiscism. > From: Adam Bridge <abridge@gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2005 15:40:01 -0800 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] In the lobby > > ummmmm......I don't know how to interpret this comment, Philippe. > Reading it as a native English/American speaker it has a put-down > quality to it a in "been there, done that, seen the > movie....sigh...now what?" > > Or it could have been that you enjoyed it.
