To offend even the novice art goer, pronounce as “Van Gouge”… but say “Pick-a-So” is wicked superior (bonus points if you are wearing a backwards Red Sox hat, a polo shirt (flipped collar) and khaki shorts — flip-flops, natch.)

    Great set of photos Jay. Looks like a ton of fun.

    Re: Giacometti, I’ve seen some of his paintings and agree with your feeling on them, a struggle yet so easy in wire and other sculpting mediums. His brother has some paintings in the MFA too, not sure if he’s in the MoMA.
