oh goodness. pollock worship usurped by "old master" worship. you do realize rembrandt used garbage materials, storebought preprimed linen with the cheaper of the two lead whites available at the time...loaded with chalk mind you...along with orpiment, realger, azurite and vermilion? all with his bituminous and smalt ridden backgrounds which have darkened so much 40% of his work is gone in some cases. do not speak the name rembrandt in the same breath and Vermeer. in comparison, rembrandt had only a rudimentary understanding of materials and his paintings suffered greatly. that pollock could not or did copy or "do" benton means less than nothing.
