I saw a wonderful exhibit of Lautrec works a few years ago in Vienna. They were lithographs for advertising posters and for several they had a number of different stages so it was possible to see how the ideas and images developed. While I can't quite call him the Father of Modern Advertising Art, he was pretty close.

I am a friend of IdahoSwede's and of Pondhopper. I think it might be interesting to become friends as I am a practising Eastern Orthodox and my daughter is a Pagan Priestess in California. I don't think anyone has ever accused me of being a Nazi - neo or otherwise; but I did have a lover once who swore I'd been trained by the Jesuits.
