What an interesting bit of history. If I'm ever in France, I would love to visit the House of New Art. Thanks for introducing us to Samuel Bing! Indeed, Art Nouveau has "caused the whole world to sing." Love, Carolyn

Wonderful tribute Brian - Yesterday at a yard sale I ran across several hundred dollars worth of Indian art- It was a dear friend of mine who was selling it all so I bought all of it and told him if he gets back on his feet it will all be here waiting on him - Loved your Poem- God Bless, MJ
