can anyone help me? about 5 years ago I went to an exhibtion in the guggenheim in new york . one of the paintings was a huge tryptych by a victorian painter that featured heaps of babies falling down waterfalls and frozen in glaciers. It was probably the most twee painting I've ever seen! I've been on their website but i cant find out anything about this painting or the name of the artist. Any suggestions?

A query to the arts editor, by email, at the New Yorker or Time Out/New York mags kight do the trick. Good luck.
also it might help if you can remember the name of the exhibition - if so you could try emailing the Guggenheim itself. (Don't tell them you thought it was kitsch, though.)
A trawl of the internet has come up with this

Leon Frederic's "The Stream" which featured in the "1900: Art at the Crossroads" exhibition which was shown at the Royal Academy, London, and the Guggenheim in 2000,. Below are links to two articles about that exhibition which both mention the picture

I can't find any images of it though
Leon Frederic, - The Source Of Life

Is that it?

Some great work all round in tracking the references. Well done. Had tried and drawn a blank.
