The ones I love are the one's that at first glance are a baseball scene yet if you know things about sports then maybe the content may mean more to you. The Conlon is all about the knowledge of the content.

Agree... but I could paint and "mix things up" too. Just because it is not realism does not make it good art. That is all I am saying. If I am looking at a babe ruth painting, I want it to at least resemble a human. That is,unless it is a starry night or the scream masterpiece that has a different/deeper meaning. Paintings of baseball players I guess should capture the player in my mind. I see no other meaning in these paintingsJust my 2 cents.
Any for the record.. I didn't say I loved the Conlon painting, it is one of the ones I liked best.
