Today visited the exhibition. Few personal impressions. Firstly, the exhibition is striking, the Museum of the City of Paris, along with the curators have worked on glory: Sveza work from around the world, and from museums and many private collections. A lot of unexpected work that I had never seen before, for example, there are half a dozen abstractions and several Madonnas, written entirely in the style of 15-16 centuries, and they all date back to the early 20's, judging from everything, away from the metaphysics of the artist was looking for than we would do next. Secondly, in several works hung red circles, as at fairs, where the work is sold. Check with the local, so it could not be, answered evasively, but apparently it is! What is extremely surprising. In the third, was struck by the number of self-portraits, I do not recall the second case, when an artist with a great love subscribed to himself every year or two, without interruption and regardless of the surrounding events. Fourthly, surprised the number of repetitions of late, some scenes are repeated five times, nothing more than commercial considerations, it seems impossible to explain. Oh, and the last. Earlier, I, like everyone else, in fact, the most admired De Chirico's metaphysics, on the same show most impressed by his work mid-twenties, where there are depersonalized figures - very cool!
