Google told me

Google told me it was Monet's Birthday. Not only is it a pretty link-worthy event, but Google again created an artsy banner to go along with a holiday. Does anybody have a cache of their special occasion banners?

I think I've only ever seen a couple of those images on Google before. I can only assume I was getting the Google title image from my web cache rather than downloading it from google.com. I had no idea they changed the logo so often!

I can't wait to see what they'll do for Dali's B-Day

Anyone have any good art sites, with gallerires of famous artists (and their paintings). Web Museum, is promising but lacks a lot of paintings...
