Recently, in 2004 the "painter" theme has been continued with Gauguin.

Maybe, the painters metioned here are mostly impressionism, (little bit confused about the metion of Napoleon, is he the Napoleon or aslo a painter with the same name? ), so the action that hostess bars in Soi 33 take
is also kind of like a impressionism--to let waiters or waitress wear bizarre clothes? --not sure, for the structure of the first sentence really confused me~ The theme is "of a hostess bar, some have waiters, Christie's has doormen in bizarre uniforms! "?
