With cooler days setting in were in need of indoor artistic pursuits.
Rouge
Cabaret: The Terrifying and Beautiful World of Otto Dix is an
electrifying new exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts featuring
220 paintings, watercolors and prints by the controversial German
painter. Called a degenerate by some of his contemporaries, his striking
(and sometimes unsettling) works capture the disconsolate mood in Europe
between the two World Wars. Most powerful are his portraits of artists
and bohemians such as a 1927 oil on wood image of a cat-like woman
reclining on leopard skin.
In we go.
