Docent in Hartford, CT

English living in France newly joined an Art History Study Group

Studied Art History at Brandeis in the 60's with Joachim Gaehde but didn't major in it. Currently maintaining FB page called Art Museum High Resolution Photos. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/ArtMuseumHighResolutionPhotos?ref=br_tf Click on "Photos" then "Albums" to see a grid of the albums I have created, mostly by museum and then by period if the collection is large enough. FB reduces the resolution upon upload, even with the high quality box checked, so please let me know if you would like a larger resolution image of any particular work.
