	Paul Klee, "Architecture with the Red Flag" c. 1915, oil and pencil on cardboard, Alexander Klee Collection, Berne This isn't the painting, but looks very similar to it. Klee was especially interested in Orphism, that is, austere cubism with vibrant colour. He visited North Africa, and was enchanted by the forms and colours there.

	Klee wrote some of the most bizarre art theory you'll ever find. He's representative of what most people think of when they hear the phrase 'modern art,' which is both a good thing and a bad thing, I think. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	Amadeo Modighani, "Seated Nude" 1916-17, oil on canvas, Courtauld Institute Galleries, London This is an extremely sensual nude which you are going to have to search on the 'net, given the TOS.

	I went to Houston and caught this one, along with loads of other great stuff, when MoMA was being remodelled or something and they sent a big part of their collection on tour. This one weren't exactly the highlight of the day, if you know what I mean. I don't care for Miro at all. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	It looks like a doodle, but then I think that of all modern art, so I'm not the one to ask.
