  1. I went down the rabbit hole. According to Wikipedia, the "matchstick men" were inspired by L.S. Lowry. https://www.christies.com/features/10-things-to-know-about-LS-Lowry-8657-1.aspx

  2. Goodness, that was worthwhile! I had never seen this painter but love him. Compare Norman Rockwell https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f2/8e/a5/f28ea5c01e92ad1d667be9fec3020536.jpg People think they know him and consider him shallow, but actually looking at his paintings reveals something else.
