YAYOI KUSAMA LIFE IS THE HEART OF A RAINBOW 9 Jun to 3 Sep 2017 I attended a preview on 3 Jun 2017. Terrific. Loved the colors. Not all artists suffered for their art but this one did. There's a lot more to the pumpkins that pretty shapes, vibrant colors and decorations. Quite a journey to get to that series.

I saw some Affandi paintings up close during my visit to the gallery on Sunday. It's great to rediscover this artist. The turmoil of brush strokes, the energy of raw blobs of paint, he mixed in sand too. It's amazing to see the picture emerge so strong from all that texture. There was a painting of a hand showing the fragility of life. Could look at this one again. I am sure I missed something at that first view.

I never paid much attention to Picasso's animal paintings before. Then, I saw the Cat and the Rooster at National Gallery Singapore's exhibition 'Reframing Modernism'. I really like it. Now, I search a bit more and Picasso did quite a few pieces on this theme. I would be looking out for them from now on. https://www.centrepompidou.fr/cpv/ressource.action?param.id=FR_R-33fa4a14790bd6c4c12701fedaf699d&param.idSource=FR_O-d3dcb4967f8649332ebf68154a1a2d8
