Gretyl and Ludwig

This is Ludwig Wittgenstein's sister Gretyl, as painted by Gustav Klimt for her wedding. I thought it was lovely. You might think so, too. I would like for someone to create a program that can turn your picture in to a Klimt-style painting. Picasso or Dali would be amazing as well. Does something like that exist already? Hmm...

Anyway, this picture came from the fact that since I need to read philosophy again, and I need to think about linguistics again, and Wittgenstein is a good place to start, I thought I'd catch up with him briefly via Wikipedia...which of course is terribly insufficient.

Tractatus, here I come.
