Exposition Monet!

Kenji, Keo and Monet in Paris! This amazing show opened here in Paris in the fall at the Grand Palais . The New York Times says it's "The biggest art spectacle in Europe this fall, with some 160 paintings, it is, believe it or not, the first full-dress overview Paris has staged in decades, the first chance anywhere to see the whole sweep of his work in some time. The French are treating it like a national celebration." And we are too! We all went to see this ravishing show!!!
"Monet was really painting mental states, states of reflection. His late, sublime “Water Lilies” is literally that: reflections of light, clouds and foliage against the surface of his pond at Giverny, Monet’s erotic, mysterious, multicolored abyss of shimmering, indefinite space, which kind of describes memory itself."
 `A Hop, Skip and a Jump and here we are! From the park to the museum! Paris is Magnifique!
