Paris is still the art center of the world. This notion was reinforced this year by a unique and massive exhibition currently mounted by Fondation Vuitton (a vibrant modern art museum in its own right) that provides a unique chance to learn about the history of modern art. “The Morozov Collection: Icons of Modern Art” exhibition reunites the finest Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings collected by the Morozov brothers at the turn of the 20th century, following these artworks’ dispersal among Russian museums for almost a century.
Dear Nina,
Once again you have truly fed my soul. This is a remarkable collection of art that regrettably I haven’t seen in person. However, I look forward to it and until then I bask in each piece that you’ve beautifully presented to us. By the end of your presentation, I realized I’m taking a deep breath and smiling from within. This has transformed my day! Thank you.
Sincerely,
Trisha Healy Smith
