[QUOTE="LauraGarnet02, post: 4513091, member: 20118"]I can't remember who or when or where exactly, decades ago maybe when I was a teenager or a bit younger, someone described impressionist paintings as being made by an artist who has astigmatism. I can see that as truthful. Glasses on, I can see the individual leaves on the trees. Glasses off, everything is a blurry, blended blob. :joyful: So whenever I see blurry, blended, misty looking art, I think impressionist. Whether that's right or wrong I don't know. I'm just wondering has anyone else ever heard the astigmatism theory? To me this little Sprecher watercolor looks like something that would hang in an Arts and Crafts era home.
