       | They had (have?) some Hopper's on display at the Huntington
       | Museum. I realized that even the best art books are unable to
       | reproduce the stunning colors of the originals. It was the visual
       | equivalent of CD audio versus live performance - just not the
       | same at all.

         | The Blue Boy at the Huntington was the artwork that really
         | drove that point home for me. I had seen it only on computer
         | screen before and that's even worse at color reproduction than
         | print. That's all it took to ignite a life long appreciation of
         | art and afterwards I was the ideal parental accessory at any
         | museum.
