Thank you, good Doctors, for the wonderfully gentle way you have brought me into the world of Art History for these past 10 years. I'm back now, about 7 years after having "completed" all that was available up until August of 2016, and am delighted with all that has been added since then.
I know that the videos you have posted are now, as it were, carved in stone. I ask no changes in what has been done in the past. I do note, though, the jarring sound of the name of the city of my birth, Los Angeles, when it is referenced simply as L.A. The name is so sonorous! Why waste the chance to say it in full?(1 vote)
