> Hrm, I'm even an art major and I don't recognize all of those names. Of course, I've only been studying from the Paleolithic era to around Baroque or so... not quite far enough. I might very well recognize illustrations the people I don't know straight off have done, though.

I've heard of Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish. The only reason I know Maxfield Parrish is because of a field trip we took to see an exhibit at a local art museum which featured him. Now everytime I see that one pink background/columns/naked people picture I think of that trip. It was my favorite one of all of his, and I think it's the only one most people know. So, I suppose I have good taste. Or at least common taste...
