"Maeght and his Artists"



Bonnard, Matisse, Miró, Calder, Giacometti, Braque....
all in one place. This was the Aimé Maeght exhibit "Behind The Mirror" at the Royal Academy.
Another impressive place to go to, a little like Tate Britain. I tend to adhere to places like the Met in New York. Places like Louisiana in Denmark. Places like Foundation Beyeler in Basel. It is a need for there to be a historic background and a thought about esthetic architecture in comparison to its nature, its surrounding environment.
I much liked the show and was really impressed by Calders huge lithographs of about 2.5mx1.5m.

Theres also the absolutely beautiful Fondation Maeght in the sound of France. I was there two years ago, really a place to visit as well!
