    Do either of you happen to know what 'Chagalian nihilism' is? (I'm too embarrassed to ask the person who used it ).
    Think you mean infantilism or infanzia, school or style of painting beginning early 20thC, employing broad brush strokes, crude figuration and large washes of primary colours to evoke a childlike worldview, but offering considerable insights of its own, often in carefully composed creations...,

    Chagall lived long, and went through many phases, of which this was just one....that cover art for Josquin was a detail of a painting I can't find, but is a good example...

      Thanks jayne. That was the second piece of free knowledge I have had imparted today: the first was the man in front of me in the supermarket queue explaining to us what the "Deux ex Machina" logo on the front of his T-shirt meant!

          Are you saying you thought you knew Chagall before?

              Not to be confounded with the Anthony Aloicious Hancock 'Infantile School', as featured in The Rebel.

                That would be the UNPALLETABLE infantile school, though.

                        I do try to express myself as precisely as I can! Venzago's titles don't just use religious terms but attach a whole concept to each symphony. Whether this relates to his own religious beliefs, if any, isn't clear (or relevant, really).

                          That's easy - none of them has an 'i' in his name! Also, none of them ever played (as far as I know) for Tranmere Rovers Reserves.
                          Re #334: Did I know Chagall before what? Oh God, I've just read that phrase out loud and realised what it means
                          Re #341: Don't mind me, Oim just a tick colleen from the Emerald Isle! I mean - I STILL haven't worked out the answer to cloughie's AAII poser despite lashings of clues
                          Re #? (I've forgotten the number, but it mentions Bruckner's 5th): Is there a Dionysiac Bruckner symphony by any chance?

                            Believe it or not, I AM trying to make a serious point. I don't understand why it is apparently not possible to discuss a particular subject without regularly introducing vocabulary and concepts which at least some of us aren't familiar with and can't hope to grasp. While I'm always willing to learn, I don't necessarily want to have to jump over intellectual hurdles or through linguistic hoops before I feel I can make a useful contribution. I can only apologise if that appears unreasonable. (Perhaps I'm suffering from reductive infantilism, or, as we say in these parts, like to keep tings simple! )
