    Beautiful post Phillip...I love the art from the Aesthetic period, It was so free spirited and sensual. I like especially the Greek influence on some of the paintings from the video, the hair styles as well as the attire. Also its true about the red hair color, I think that continued too with the Impressionists like Degas and Manet etc....Gorgeous post.

    Thanks Marta, I wish I was well enough to go to these exhibitions, but the video was neat.
