I might have caught this  Georges Rouault show earlier but I’m out of town and did not know about it beforehand.

I saw the Vollard show at the Metropolitan Museum late last that was referred to in the Michael Kimmelman article on the Rouault show in the New York Times.

Rouault has never really been one of my favorite artists but, overall, I have liked and responded to the work of his that I’ve seen - and I don’t respond to everyone’s work.

What is interesting - how unlikely anyone but Georges Rouault could have painted his work - it looks unique to me - and that’s a sign of greatness … that no one else could have done that work.

So, while I’ll miss the show, or have missed it - if I could have gone, I would.
