I w...Thank you so much Dee for your kind comments. I will go back and mention who Olga Khokhlova (Ольга Степановна Хохлова) was. She was born in 1891 in the Russian Empire and died in 1955 in Cannes, France. She came from Russia and became a ballerina in the Serge Diaghilev Ballets Russes in France. She was Picasso’s first wife and the mother of his son, Paulo. Even though she separated from Picasso in 1935, she never divorced him, and stayed married to him until her death in 1955. She had changed her name to Olga Ruiz Picasso.

In fact, I don't think I ever fully understood that term until I began reading your posts. I can remember someone saying years ago that Jacqueline Kennedy was a cultured woman. And a sophisticate. You, too, are both.<br /><br />I recognized Oglethorpe's name right away from studying American History in fifth grade. I felt so happy that the name was familiar. I do wonder who Olga Koklova is--I need to look her up-- in the photograph of her, Cocteau, Picasso, and Stravinsky. When I don't know a woman's background I become aware that so much of the world's history and my history has been male dominated. <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing this exhibit with us.

They remind me so much of the buildings on campus at the college prep school I attended in Niagara Falls NY back in the late 50s and early 60s. I'm not much into modern art...although I do like some of Leger's works as shown in your blog. The food at "Au Rendez-Vous" looks great. I'll put it on my list should we head on down that way.
