Paris Fall Art Expositions: Hokusai at the Grand Palais (until mid-January 2015)
There are quite a few big expos in Paris this fall, the most interesting, for me anyway, is that of Hokusai at the Grand Palais. I saw this one twice actually – once on my own and once with my … Continue reading
Chi Ming and Marcus Miller in Shanghai
I lucked out today in Shanghai. After arriving unseasonably early at 5am and crashing at my hotel until 9:30am, I headed out with a few friends to enjoy the beautiful weather, have a few suits tailor-made (less than $200!), visit … Continue reading

Monumenta 2011 : Leviathan by Anish Kapoor at Le Grand Palais
I was not at all familiar with Anish Kapoor’s work before, but I saw an article about the 2011 edition of the Monumenta and figured it was worth checking out – with the kids too! Since about 2008, the Grand … Continue reading
La voyage imaginare d’Hugo Pratt – La Pinacoteque of Paris
I am late in posting about the last expo that I saw back two weeks ago. And, bad me, I didn’t post yesterday – I was flying to Montreal and mentally drained when I got here. Anyway, after long ado, … Continue reading
Last word on Cranach and quick word on Lorrain
Getting late so another quick one. Sorry 😦 There are two catalogs available from the Cranach exhibit I mentioned: a hardcover for 30€ and a soft-cover for €20. I am happy with the soft-cover one. The illustrations are very well … Continue reading
