SHARING WITH ME

One more day and there was a must….go back to the Modern Pinacotheque to see the the few exhibitions I had missed out on and look a little more at the permanent collection. After the marvelous experience with the Kirchner (which I went back to see too), the permanent collection was good but not exciting. Even the Picasso room seemed a little dull or was it that so much seemed to be lacking in color. Picasso 1881-1973, Madame Soler 1903 Picasso, Woman 1973 Picasso, Artist and Model 1963 APicasso, Artist and Model 1963 I have now come to the conclusion too that every time I see Georges Baselitz, (1938-1973) I will see him upside down. I have showed many pictures now from permanent collections where he seems to be obsessed with that view. I still like his work though. George Baselitz 1938 : 1973 George Baselitz 1938 : 1973 George Baselitz 1938 : 1973 George Baselitz 1938 : 1973 George Baselitz 1938 : 1973 and then suddenly this.....

The departure for Le Havre had been an early one. The museum restaurant was booked out so culture had to feed my gurgles. The permanent collection comes as a bit of a shock after De Staël but there are always some painters I enjoy looking at. You have "met" all the artists over the years so this is just a sample of what I saw.         Paul Signac Herblay - Fog  1889-90 Raoul Dufy  - The beach and the Pier at Le Havre  1926-30 Raoul Dufy - Strollers at the seaside  -1926 André Derian  - around 1904 - Bourgival Kees Van DOngen Riders in the Bois deBoulogne 1908/09 Raoul Dufr Jeanne in the flowers 1907 Eugène Bourdin Landscape with cows 1881-88 Eugène Bourdin Woman in white on the Trouville beach 1869 As we continued in the sea theme, I was quite happy to wander and now that the restaurant was full, I had the place to myself. 

Never the less, I couldn’t dawdle.  Charles Camoin -Marseille  1904 RAOUL DUFY  BOATS SETTING
