Likewise, what makes history (and art history) interesting is trivia. I especially look for that type of material. And of course, without the ease, breadth, and depth of information of all kinds so readily available on the Internet all this would be far too time consuming to pursue, as well as disseminate. I watch my statistic closely and it's quite interesting to see what interest my readers and, more importantly, what does NOT. My series on small museums, classic films, and artists homes have all been duds. However, as you mentioned nostalgia is always popular. So is nudity and anything of a sexual nature (no surprise there). Which artist will prove popular is completely impossible to predict. I should note that the majority of my readers now are in France, not the U.S. I don't know how to account for that.Jim Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882369817190401530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355717446968368001.post-12102307118081332132017-07-23T15:11:38.444-04:002017-07-23T15:11:38.444-04:00Another captivating and wonderful look back.

Not sure whether you're an art historian, historian, nostalgian (probably not a word) or just a insatiably curious guy with a great knack for finding really interesting stories and factoids. I don't always comment, but I rarely miss one of your posts. Very impressed with your voluminous and consistent body of great info.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482132488419678804noreply@blogger.com
