<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect that this is one of Dan'l's tangential
bits of naming information, but does anyone know anything about an American
Impressionist painter called Julian Alden Wier. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The name came up at a Cezanne exhibition; Weir was
the teacher of one of the main collectors of Cezanne's works and the name just
caught my attention in the exhibit notes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have not discussed Wolfe's influences in the
visual arts, and apart from the gallery with the moon landing picture, and the
painter Fechin in New Sun I can't think of many references to
artwork.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I really don't know why he would adapt this
painter's name for the Devilish hero of Peace, or is the name Alden common in
America? I had not seen it before I read Peace.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(By the way, could I second Matthew's question
about Alice Turner. I know she left this list at about the same time as Mantis,
but is she active anywhere else on line? I used to enjoy her discussions on this
group)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
