Google Rulz !

Far from being a "connaisseur" when it comes to art, I've always recognized and appreciated the beauty or the insight or the originality of some masterpieces.

Except for some time in junior high when I've been lucky to have a great art teacher, and some museums I've visited, I never did anything to get seriously into art. But I do like to get my "feed" occasionally.

Google changed it's home page again, this time to celebrate Edvard Munch. I browsed his works a little bit, and I really like it, the vivid colors from some of his paintings remind me a little bit of Van Gogh (same current ? - I've already admitted I'm ignorant :D). Always loved Van Gogh. Very happy to find another painter on my taste.

The point, though, is how great it is not only to be able to access any information on the planet, but also to have it served to you. In an abundance of sources, it's cool to get a piece you really like from something you use every day. ++ for google in my books :).
