A special exhibition is currently drawing large crowds to Mexico City's Palace of Fine Arts. The show is called "The Impressionist Revolution from Monet to Matisse" and it consists of 45 pieces of art from the Dallas Museum of Art. A couple of weekends ago Alejandro and I went to see the exhibit. There was a long line waiting to enter, but, fortunately, the line moved fairly steadily. The well-known names of Impressionism and post-Impressionism were represented as well as a few artists with whom I was unfamiliar.
The exhibition gallery was crowded also.
Here are some of the paintings in the show...
