ART FOR LUNCH AND THEN BACK TO THE STATION.....
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 -Mar...
