"Valkrie9" reminds me of a former Pennock's forum member who was banished by the forum's moderator and owner, not all that long ago.
The resemblance in terms of the messaging is not so close as to make me think that "Valkrie9" is that same person, reincarnated (so to speak) with a new screen name.

He wasn't banished (banned) because of a proclivity for creating unusual or "out of the blue" Topics, though. Like this Art Appreciation topic.
Just to be clear.

I saw this, and many others at both Maritshuis and the Van Gogh museum. The French like to talk about how the renaissance is all about them, but the Dutch have as many famous painters as the French do. Rembrandnt, Van Gogh, etc., and of course... Jan Vermeer.

Not "the classics", but no one will be surprised that my favorite artists are from the early- to mid-twentieth century.

Overheard on the Hotel's switchboard, circa 1972.

Perhaps you recognize the sharp dressed man, ran a heavy machine company up here in Scarberia, an avid golfer, fitness buff, pilot, diver.
Former undersea welder, gas and oil exploration, made and did it all, a super achiever, a Scot.
Working with him was a great experience, no bs, zero tolerance for pseudo intellectuals, those posturing imbeciles, the fakes.

Strange that some humans are incapable of appreciating the works of man, describing their world, with color.
I've been enamored with the Pearl Girl since I first saw her in the '50s, my young school teacher resembled her,
and why I posted her, the yt catching my attention for the first time today.
Amazing.

I kind of thought the same thing... the messaging seems interesting and rather wild. What former user was that?
The Pythagorean's theorem is an interesting choice for an avatar... but can't say mine is oddly unique either.
