HYPNOTIC AND UNFORGETTABLE HOURS
The Trocadero is not on my beaten track even if the MAM is quite close by. However I had seen that there was an exhibition at the Cité de l’Architecture on Contemporary Stained Glass windows. It wasn’t perhaps the theme which caught my eye but Chagall, Soulages and Benzaken…..I have seen a lot of Chagall’s work in churches or chapels around France - even Cathedrals but Soulages? Marielle and I caught the bus and off we went. Only to be stopped by a barrier half way there. The President of Mexico was visiting and security was certainly taking the visit very seriously. I might add we had the same experience and in the same bus with the same driver on our way back. That was a real coincidence. The entrance to the contemporary exhibition was not unalike what I had seen at the White Penitents’ Chapel in Aix. And oh bliss, hardly a soul to be seen. I literally gasped when we came in onto this…..Chagall and it could only be Chagall but what an entry….. This was designed by Chagall in 1
