Matisse Museum

The Musée Matisse.



This is funny. Anthony Peregrine of the UK Telegraph, writes this
"...word of warning: going to Nice solely for Matisse smacks of hair-shirted obsessiveness."

That'd be me. Can't do beaches or water sports. My shirt's too hairy, I guess. Hee hee.

I do plan on addressing the resistance to Matisse that many feel, which is like in kind to the resistance to Modern art, only more focused. Please return here for the Month of Matisse posts.

Chauvet Caves - Art is Long

When I say "art is long," I mean even some prehistoric art survives till now and blows us away.  The caves of Chauvet, France as a for instance.


Surprisingly, I enjoy these drawings more than some of the other cave drawings.  Prehistoric Avant-Garde, maybe.
