Scorcher of a show in Boston. Ticket prices may seem high but ya don't want to miss this. If you got the hankering for some Venetians this is cheaper than a flight to Italy with the added benefit that they don't often hang these heavy-weights side by side even in Forza Italia. Usually makes for wet pants.
Again, especially if you haven't seen these painters, get to Boston. Photographs just don't cut it. These guys are Renaissance high-wire acts and when you get your nose up on them they dazzel in ways subtle and manifold that painters don't these days. We're talking Tang mixed with diesel.
What follows are some jottings I made there a few weeks ago. Matisse woulda ate this show up and as as my drawings seem to line as of late in the Frenchman's direction, berets off to Henri.
Anyone else got drawings from this show, I'd love to see 'em... Jazione

Congrats on the new blog! People need to get past the whole "$20 to enter a museum is expensive thing." It's nothing actually. On average entrance fees cover less than 20% of a museum's operating budget, and compared to comparable activities, art museums are actually quite cheap! Not all museums receive government subsidies, and even those that do are likely to face reduced subsidies going forward. If you want to see the art you should think nothing of paying $20.
