THE FORTUNES OF PEGGY

I don’t often appreciate the job of being an art handler. Occasionally the job provides a real payoff. Today provided one of the finest examples. I was able to stand, unguarded, under the spell of three life altering works.

Cezanne, Still Life: Flask, Glass, and Jug (Fiasque, verre et poterie), ca. 1877. Oil on canvas



Pablo Picasso, Mandolin and Guitar (Mandoline et guitare), 1924. Oil with sand on canvas




Wassily Kandinsky. Dominant Curve. 1936. Oil on canvas
