    I think the link between art and science should prove and interest and endless topic for discussion. I am hoping there will be something on the Symbolism movement and in particular James Ensor who is a favorite of mine. Do you know of him? Let the blogging begin!

    Dr. Kramer: I thought this might interest you, it is from the NY times. What do you think?

    Mr. Reto,
    Firstly, thank you for your comments…..they are greatly appreciated.

    Yes, there was an intriguing dialogue between Post-Impressionists such as Gauguin and Symbolists like Ensor and Munch….the latter group carried forward the Impressionists’ burgeoning interest in the momentary perceptions of the artist to a privileging of his broader internal world and existential angst

    thank you for your citation of the Louise Bourgeois review. She has dedicated her long career to an aesthetic exploration of the complexities of the human psyche, so integral to the development of modernism through the 20th century……
