About Me
I am a British-born, art historian, teaching in the USA; I studied
law, in England,1964-68; worked part-time in the art world, 1968-69;
then studied art history at the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, 1969-76;
completed my Ph.D. diss. at the University of Cambridge, 1981; moved to
the States in 1981, and have since written, or co-authored, other
books. I am currently studying satire in Netherlandish art. My wife was born in Italy, where she worked as an interpreter, in
business; she spent seven years in Switzerland, at the University of
Lausanne, 1963-70. She came to Amsterdam in 1971, and we soon married.
She is a wife, mother, literary critic, of Italian (and French)
literature, and completed her Ph. D. diss. in 2002, at the University
of Chicago, on Cesare Pavese and His Critics. We have three married
children, and six grandchildren, all of whom we excessively adore!
I welcome dialog about art, photography, human behavior, beliefs, and
motivation from all comers, regardless of race, color, gender,
orientation, values, or beliefs. This is to be a site for words and
images, as vehicles of human expression, around topics of mutual
interest.
