His grocery list is so much more life affirming and joyous than Rembrandt whose palette had too much red meat and, closer to our own day, Hockney's fascination with avocados detracts from his importance as an artist.; 12/28/13, 11:43 AM

OTOH, I understand DaVinci ordered his groceries using charades. So no great loss there.; 12/28/13, 1:38 PM
