If you are in Normandy between now and October, please don't miss this show at the Impresionist Museum in Giverny. 72 glorious French master paintings have been graciously loaned to the museum by the Clark Collection in Massachusetts.
Sterling and Francine Clark lived in Paris, where he was a young, and already wealthy, lawyer and she was his young and beautiful French wife. They started buying paintings around 1912, purchasing works they loved and which to them embodied all that was new and fresh in the modern impressionist movement.
What a life!! They could have been characters plucked from an Edith Wharton novel, glamorous, interesting, part of the elite New York society, who felt at ease anywhere in the world. How I would have loved to have lived at that time ....
