WANDERING DOWN NOSTALGIA LANE

Image
It was now my second day in Aix. Although I had seen the Jean an Suzanne Planque collection in Alsace in 2010 (and much to my surprise had nothing on the Blog about it) I wanted to go again. Jean and Suzanne Planque were Swiss.  « The American Icons » was also on in the same museum, The Granet. Remember? I had seen this exhibition in Paris.   http://discovmaggsie.blogspot.com/2015/07/wandering-down-nostalgia-lane.html I did pop in and look at the Icons again upsetting a couple of guards as I went in at the end of the exhibition rather than the beginning. At opening hours that is sometimes the best way to see a show. All those spectators are squashed into the first galleries and no-one at the end. It was a pleasurable few moments.  Richard Diebenkorn (1923-93) "Berkeley 47" "Berkeley 23" Philip Guston (1913-80) "For M.", 1955 Philip Guston, "Evidence" 1970 Brice Marden (1938-) "6 (Course,)" 1987-88
