LAST DAYS OF KHNOPFF

[ellenkushner]

If you are in the Boston area, or are going to be here for the T'day holiday, consider a visit to the McMullen Museum on the Boston College campus. Here's why:

The exhibit is on only through Dec. 5.

If you can't make it to BC, the website has a lovely "slideshow" of selected pieces by Mr. Symbolism.

I wot not of Khnopff, but trust this woman! I am _still_ dealing with the aftermath of Felix Buhot's prints and when was that show, Ellen, 1982? Something like that.

You are too kind!

Blame my dad for the Buhot - he got enthusiastic about 19c French prints way back then, I what could I do but follow?

If you want to know what we're so enthused about, see:
