BUT, for a truly educated opinion (that agrees with you, btw, Jim) check out the NYTimes www.nytimes.com/2008/10/28/arts/design/28abro.html

Despite what the NYT said, we truly enjoyed the show. I do think that Picasso can be a bit much (I agree with the view that he is egotistical), but one can not ignore his contribution to art history, and the organizers of this show did a bang up job (imho) in gathering works and assembling them in a way that the viewer really gets a one of a kind perspective on art and Picasso's process, if that makes sense.
And being a huge El Greco fan I delighted in seeing some works by that master...all in all I was SO glad that we got up early on our last day to catch this show...I do see why it's so popular and I don't think it's one of those blockbuster shows that's all flash and no substance. GO!

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
