----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Yes! Yes! Yes! If you're in LA, GO SEE THIS EXHIBIT!!!!!!! It's one of the more terrific things I've seen in a while. There was a huge story in the LA Times about it earlier this week and even my landlady (who does dental stuff) asked me about going to see it (whether it is worth the trip downtown). I said absolutely. If you are going to be in LA sometime this summer, you may also want to visit the LACMA where the Gustave Caillebotte collection of impressionists will be on exhibit from the latter part of this month until early September. Gus was a collector who bought paintings from the impressionists and made it possible for them to manage to eat and paint more pictures. He's also just about the only person who did that, so he got some really prime stuff. vh
