What I did this weekend
This weekend, dear flist, I finally got of my butt and did something other than write! Does that get me any cheers?
After a sumptuous dinner ( I doubt that all that foie gras did my cholesterol count any good, but it was the kind of food that was art...) I went to see this exhibition at the Musée d'Arts Modernes in Brussel. I have to admit I'd never heard of Leon Spilliaert before, but I loved his early works. Weird, distorted ink and crayon drawing, reminiscent of Munch, Jan Toorop but also, surprisingly, Chas Addams...
Maybe you can see what I mean when I put in Spillaert self portraits and Gomez Addams side by side?
