LACMA Exhibits Expressionism from France and Germany

Andre Derain, BOATS IN CHATOU, 1904-5, oil on canvas  

Seeing the paintings exhibited in this show at the Los Angeles County Museum of  Art was an opportunity that would have been impossible to duplicate.  Fortunately for the viewers, it was a beautiful education.  The verve of the brushstrokes and the vivacity of the colors heralded the courageous art that would follow.
