We got to see this famous Chagall

…are not my favorite art category.  But we still enjoyed the current exhibit at the Speed Art Museum, “Renior to Chagall”, in part because CVH does like the impressionists and I like Chagall; plus they snuck in a Braque and a late impressionist Cezanne, which were more to my tastes.

There were some Degas ballet dancers, of course (the notes claimed he depicted them in over fifteen hundred works of his, which staggers the imagination), a couple of Gauguins, a Toulouse-Lautrec, and one of Mary Cassatt’s naked toddlers (why did she do so many of those, anyway?).
