French masterpieces at LACMA

For those of you who live here in sunny Southern California, there's a great exhibit .. "priceless" you might say.. at the LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) .. on loan from the State Pushkin Museum in Moscow. French masterpieces from the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse and Cezanne. Exhibition includes 76 Paintings; 52 on view for the first time in the United States. Details here.

Friends who went said it's incredible. Docent slide talks & tours are available (for free) Tuesdays, Fridays & Sundays. Tickets (US$20, $17 during the week) include entrance to the rest of the museum. If you go before the 28th, you can also catch the Modigliani exhibit. The Pushkin exhibit runs until October 13th.

I heard the Germans pillaged these painting from conquered countries during WWII .. and that the Russians took them from the Germans at the end of the war. They've been in hiding for years. The original owners want them returned. International scandal & intrigue.
