They should have taken the idea from the Chicago Institute of Art a couple of years ago. They were undergoing renovations so they sent their marvelous collection on the road to the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth.

Closed for Renoir-vations? What a Blue Period that will be. Ah well, que Seurat, Seurat.

They say they're moving the masterpieces elsewhere, but where will that Van Gogh?

These aren't Parisian works, but I hear Pablo wandered over to Duke for a visit:

Ya knoooow... I used to go to the Beaverbrook Art Galley in Fredericton, New Brunswick often and I would avert my eyes from a Dali in the main entrance atrium, view the other works and then spend long periods marvelling at it as a grand finalé to my visit.

The staff were a bit upset at me once as I brought in a folding chair and sat for long periods in front of some works. I explained I had arthritic knees and I was not interferring with other patrons, that they had wheel chairs available... they adopted a policy of allowing "chairs", "until further notice." Haven't been there for years as I now live elsewhere.

It's easy to find; the downtown area of Chuicago, on the island of Tinian, isn't very large.

Girl pooches and piggies must really turn you on then, Dan!

Doggone it; I just looked through quite a few pages of Google, hoping to find an old poster, "Madonna's Dog", with pointy bras strapped on each pair of nipples, but it didn't come up.

Very good. But it all falls down a bit when some bloody pedant tells you his name is pronounced "fon Hoch", to rhyme with Scots "och".

Personally, I've been unable to appreciate art since my vasariectomy.

On the radio this morning I heard a report of a small Picasso painting that was looted in Kuwait in 1991. It was offered for sale in a southern town in Iraq this summer, and undercover agents went to view the painting. The painting and the suspect are on their way to Baghdad.

Take me back, to old Baghdad... that's what she said...

Sorry... I love the poetry of The Spin Doctors. (Warning... TSDs are a progressive R&R band and not to be taken by folkies except in small doses under the supervision of a trained professional.)
