The Musée du Luxembourg in the famous park I'm grateful to live next to is currently running an exhibition of the work of Marc Chagall. I'll admit that I knew very little about Chagall until watching a recent documentary on the lives of the artists who flocked to Paris during the 1920s. He was one of the many living in and around Montmartre, which was then more a grassy hill outside of central Paris, and a haven for those searching out cheap rent.
I tried several times to get into the exhibition, all on rather rainy, dull days. Before finally making it inside on the third try, I came away with some advice on how to find stages (very useful) and six postcards (essential) of Chagall's work.
The Luxembourg is a relatively small museum, for Paris, and the exhibition was packed.
More later!
