Re: Matchlock I, some papers, grayscale

[Bernie Epstein <bepstein@home.com>]

Well, Nina, from my recollection of the Pompidou, the "seascapes" you
describe are highly appropriate hangings in what I consider to be something
of a sham architectural design: not sure whether the architect had his or her
tongue in cheek or was simply sticking it out at a gullible public. Not to
start the first 21st-century Franco-American art war, but I give the MOMA
much higher marks for both design and content than anything I have seen at
the Pompidou.
