I met Alexandre about 25 years ago when he came to Toronto and he was quite the eccentric with a lot of knowledge. He has since amassed a huge collection of vintage and antique clothing and accessories over the years and does a lot of exhibitions, primarily in Eastern Europe. His latest show, however, is in Geneva. I don't quite get the connection between the paintings and the clothes, but it looks great:

I was looking at a few other ideas to be away that day (I am officially "away" so I could tell a friend that I can unfortunately not go to his party which is somewhere out in the sticks where I absolutely don't want to go... :BAGUSE: - not how I operate normally, but here are reasons...), but this beats all the others I had :).

Now I am going to be really curious about the exhibition!!! And I like portrait painting as well, so I think this is made for me!

Barbara, did you see this photo?

I've only just come back - it's been a long day as it's three hours each way by train. Will take a moment to sort through my photos, but thank you so much for the recommendation, @Jonathan ! It's a fabulous exhibition, my mom loved it too - lovely presentation, a lot to see, not a lot of other people - and it's actually free! The whole museum is free and the special exhibition is too, we were really surprised! There was also a mini exhibition of paper fans that we had quick look through, and of course Geneva is the hometown of Jean-Etienne Liotard, so the museum has a lot of his works. A few were in the special exhibition and a few more we saw on a quick walk through the art collection. His pastel portraits are utterly amazing, I have seen some before but never so many in one place, so this was a very happy bonus.
