As we walked through that wing, our feet ALMOST stepped on a piece of white canvas or bulap or something on the ground. It blended very well into the tile. One of the docents/guards called for us to watch out because it was a "piece". We all walked out of there shaking our heads, whatever!<br /><br />@3rdnlong - I've never been to the High, or Atlanta for that matter. It looks like a gorgeous place though.

There is a Watteau http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WatteauPierrot.jpg that I feel is where T-L draws a tradition. As to the rest, there is nothing much to say beyond the quicker there is a movement which causes all museum and gallery collections to be on permanent travel the better. Imagine that the collection at the Getty sat in Chicago and Chicago to NYC MYC to Dublin, Dublin to London, London to Paris Paris .....
