Episode 1 - New York Art, Pop Art, Realism and Chuck Close

Mark and I are starting our weekly conversations about art.  Where to start? All roads lead to New York somehow. It's always hard to start anything new, what to chose? Here's our first step! We discuss Hyperrealism, Pop Art and Andy Warhol, Chuck Close and other artists.  Next week: The Group of Seven, can Canada move beyond? 

Here are some links of photos we looked at during our conversation.
