André Kertész Académie française, Paris 1929
The Jeu de Paume is putting on this show at the Musée d’Art et Archéologie and it is entitled “André Kertész, The Private Pleasure of Reading”:
Whether in a garden, on a bus, in a café, a library or a sitting room, on a terrace or in bed, at school or at war, standing, sitting or lying, the reader is always in another world. And it is this spatial and temporal separateness, this emotional and spiritual elsewhere that André Kertész captured in his photographs. He manages to convey the process whereby the reader becomes a hostage to their text, a delighted prisoner of the intimate dialogue with the text.
Isn’t that the most delightful?
good enough...smart enough...

Deaccessioning...
Everyone is talking about it. And I mean everyone.
I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. We are in unprecedented economic troubles, but there is something sad about the idea of a museum raiding it’s permanent collection and getting rid of things that they don’t need at the time.
Of course, what’s the point of having the art if you can’t afford to run the place and keep the doors open?
It is definitely a gray area.
