There was no such thing ,wishful thinking on my part - But there is the Maman in front of the museum where she looks formidable, imposing , content and I suppose maternal. Then there is her swan song installation in a room by itself in the permanent contemporary collection - Cell (The Last Climb) Have you seen it? <br />I was able to take pictures of a few paintings but security asked me to put away my camera. <br />I am sorry to take so long to get back to you. Something phlegmatic or sluggish in my nature. <br />So as I told Edgar and it bears repeating - I can learn a lot from you!!!<br /><br />xoMarciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-41803001937052162782010-12-04T15:09:52.089-05:002010-12-04T15:09:52.089-05:00The Louise Bourgeois retrospective?!

It seems as though the figures are dancing and turning, full of life and energy.<br /><br />Oh, I think we can learn a lot from you!<br /><br />Have a great time and tell us all about it when you can.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-50380491356726528122010-12-04T11:59:11.904-05:002010-12-04T11:59:11.904-05:00Edgar, thank you!

I think it's quite the opposite - it's you and Melinda who can teach me a thing or two!!!<br />Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-73331538910049399822010-12-04T11:50:00.992-05:002010-12-04T11:50:00.992-05:00Barbara, I was going to say that in the overall sc...Barbara, I was going to say that in the overall scheme of things I was only a mere two years old myself - a mere babe and irresistibly precocious - a stab at self sarcasm. <br />Oddly that great Simons song sort of passed me by like other huge chunks of popular culture - but it certainly gets at the crux of things. <br />Btw I'm in your hometown right now tagging along with David who's at a conference and to get even for cultural deprivation I'm going to spend the afternoon at the National Gallery.<br />Thanks for your comment!<br />love, Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-9390595834887571602010-12-04T11:22:33.955-05:002010-12-04T11:22:33.955-05:00Hi Sam

Weight and mass is something I work at. <br />Be well,<br />Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-74150120784775936402010-12-03T00:26:38.784-05:002010-12-03T00:26:38.784-05:00Precocious, yes.

Two eh? Two years on the blog.
Well ...Love these. Two eh? Two years on the blog.<br />Well I like that Paul Simon song. "God is old,<br />we're not old." It has a line, "The human race walked the Earth for 2.7 million. And we estimate the universe about 13-14 billion. When all these numbers tumble into your imagination<br />Consider that the Lord was there before creation."<br /><br />Whether you believe in the Lord or not, I love the song.<br /><br />And your drawings. <br /><br />Love BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517953110445932114.post-65943131996553167512010-12-02T19:37:09.794-05:002010-12-02T19:37:09.794-05:00But who's counting, eh?
You're very good ...But who's counting, eh?<br /><br />You're very good at giving figures weight and mass. They sit and stay. Not as easy as you make it look.SamArtDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322356829966791319noreply@blogger.com
