“Art of the Ages” cards, a modern artist’s rendition of works from the masters
like Leonardo Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet on a 2 ½ x 3 ½ card

of his three “Nights” paintings, I am also hoping to see Edvard Munch’s “The
Scream” and anything from Umberto Boccioni during his Futurism period.
