Centre Pompidou, 1

After St. Germain-en-Laye, we still had enough energy to visit the Pompidou. We are only mild fans of contemporary art, and our modest expectations were nearly met. The permanent "modern" collection remains our favorite part of this museum. (Except they never have the right Roualts on display). Here are a few items we liked.
The Pompidou Centre from Place Pompidou














A bit of a parody whose title I didn't get
















Georgia O'Keefe




















You've heard of the Cubists; this is one of the lesser-known Cylinderistes

















Alfred Courmes' Sebastien, 1934

Otto Dix, Portrait of the Journalist Silvia von Harden, 1926

Picasso Harlequin, 1901




















Pierre Boucher, Volubilis, Maroc, 1937; photo-shopped?





















Victor Brauner, Hitler, 1934




















Speaks volumes to me














A stunning very large format photo, Ahmed Mater, North Gate, Mecca, 2012
