Had a good time at Galerie St. Etienne last night – great show of older Austrian and German prints and drawings by many well known artists, all about Cafes, Bars and such.

I also ran into a old friend Russel Nelson who I had not seen for at least 5 or 6 years, the last time was at our mutual friend, Lestor Afflick’s funeral back in early 2000.

I liked Otto Dix’s PUB watercolor and George Grosz’s Dr. Benn’s Night Cafe which was a photo lithograph.  Gustav Klimt’s Seated Woman with Hat and Veil and Woman Resting in Armchair, both from the turn of the century were small works, but really fine.  I was surprised there was so much good work at Galerie St. Etienne.

   

Go to the Galerie St. Etienne to see the rest of the works.
