This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I suspect that this is one of Dan'l's tangential bits of naming information, but does anyone know anything about an American Impressionist painter called Julian Alden Wier. 

The name came up at a Cezanne exhibition; Weir was the teacher of one of the main collectors of Cezanne's works and the name just caught my attention in the exhibit notes.

We have not discussed Wolfe's influences in the visual arts, and apart from the gallery with the moon landing picture, and the painter Fechin in New Sun I can't think of many references to artwork.

 I really don't know why he would adapt this painter's name for the Devilish hero of Peace, or is the name Alden common in America? I had not seen it before I read Peace.

(By the way, could I second Matthew's question about Alice Turner. I know she left this list at about the same time as Mantis, but is she active anywhere else on line? I used to enjoy her discussions on this group)
