These 2 girls were ready to go to the beach this morning - bright and early!
Léna doesn't look like she's having fun but she was enjoying herself...
We did go to the beach this a.m. and had a great couple hours from 8:30 to 10:30. Forgot the camera though!
Estelle's nursery school teacher goes heavy on art. They kids have studied a lot of Miro, Braque, Chagall and Giacometti. A private museum in chic nearby St. Paul de Vence opened a new heralded Gaicometti exhibit today. Estelle's school is going on Friday but we'll be on a plane. So we went after naps today.
First, some none-Giacometti sculptures in the garden. Above, Calder. Always liked his stuff. Big! Below you see his signature from '69 - Alexander Calder, "AC".
I never found out who made this funky moving fountain but it was cooooooooool. See video below.
Big colors, Ellsworth Kelly, another favorite of mine.
Chagall, so much to look at, so many stories in a Chagall. And look how small Estelle is in front of it.
Back outside, lots of sculptures by Miro.
The Fondation overlookings St. Paul de Vence. Great views.
Miro everywhere you look!
Inside the Giacometti exhibit - lots of great sculptures.
Georges Braque's fish mosiac at the bottom of this reflecting pool.
Giacometti's cage:
Woman on Venise - 9 different ones. It should be stated that one of his sculptures sold for 14.3 million. Just to put things in perspective.
Estelle liked trying to imitate the sculptures:
More Calder outside.
