To: lug at leica-users.org My friend Christian Keathley of Middlebury College asked me the following question: "Pierre August Renoir (painter) and Jean Renoir (film maker) were both masters in their mediums. Can you think of any other parent-child artists pairs who were similarly gifted *in different media* as these two were?" I could not think of any. The Bachs came to mind but they were all in the same medium (music). Irving Penn (photo) and Arthur Penn (film/theater, "Yeah, my brother Irv takes pictures . . .") were both masters of their media, but they were brothers, not father and son ... LUG cloud: any wisdom on the subject? A solution to this (and I am not sure there is one) would require that the parent and child be both recognized as masters (e.g. If, hypothetically, Frank Lloyd Wright had a child who was only a competent cellist, that wouldn't count). Happy New Year all. Ben Marks
