The...
Tamara... de Lempicka...
Suite...
At... the...
Grand Hotel... et de Milan...
Was... restful...
Once again... I am transported to that moment in time... when one comes "face à face"... so to speak with an icon... "l'esprit Lempicka"... by staying in the very suite she stayed in... which was named after her...
Spellbound....
By the... beauty....
Of the... glass art...
At... the...

"Chefs-d'œuvre de verre de la Renaissance au XXIe siècle"...
Exhibition... at the...

Keith... Haring's...
Gigantic... works...
Were all over... the Metro walls...
Thought... provoking...
Riveting... posters... drawings...
Untitled painting by Keith Haring (1981)...Keith... would have been...
Pleased... delighted...
Having just visited Haring's exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris... I too... was impressed by his formidable works... displayed not only in the Musée but also in the Metro... for that's where it all started...

In the... footsteps of...

During an hour and a half watching... a film-documentary on her life journey...
I was enthralled... and in complete awe of this...
Amazing... woman...
Fascinated...
A... gypsy...
At... heart...
Having lived... like a nomad...
In many... varied exotic lands...
I immediately identified... with the exhibition at the...

"Bohèmes... de Léonard de Vinci à Picasso"...
Entering...
The Louvre's... main entrance...
By way... of I.M. Pei's...
Awesome... glass pyramid...
Which... has become...
As... iconic...
As the magnificent... Eiffel Tower...
The majestic... "Arc de Triomphe"...

"Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain"...
Opened this weekend... à Paris.
It is in its 38th year.
We've been procrastinating all month to go and see the works of the New York based Jean-Michel Basquiat at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, on avenue du Président Wilson in the 16th arrt., a retrospective, marking the fiftieth anniversary of his birth. Finally, we found ourselves queuing, in a line of a 100 or more people, with great anticipation.
