He made contemporary studio glass a popular art form; long after 'Tiffany' helped redefine the genre. I am glad Tiffany made the list. I would have been upset if he was not included!

But I know sod all about American artists so it was intriguing to find a list of your Top 30 American Visual Artisans of the 20th Century. Louis Comfort Tiffany, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gustav Stickley and Charles Eames are truly fantastic *nod*. Goodness knows what to make of Alexander Calder and Jackson Pollock. The real delight was finding that you placed Alfred Stieglitz in 7th place. I may have thanked you already for the link, but it doesn't matter.

I have shared his wonderfully creative stories and quirky illustrations with my children and students in the U.S. and in Sweden. His message of self-awareness knows no borders. Reading a Dr. Seuss book aloud is a treat in itself and I never cease to marvel over the joyous expressions on the faces of my listeners. Dr. Seuss spreads hope and magic in a world that tends to forget that it's still possible to dream. Thank you for highlighting the genius of Dr. Seuss.

I've been a collector of his prints since the 80's. Over time, I've come to realize that the composition and colors used in his artwork capture my soul's pursuit - that is, finding small instants of tranquility, happiness, and simple beauty. Any Parrish work carries me away from these evermore complicated and harried times. Thank you! I was thrilled as my expectations were met that Maxfield Parrish made the top 30 list!
