Congo

Congo the Chimp painted these pictures in the late fifties under the tutorship of Desmond Morris, who organised an exhibition of his works. Is been said that Picasso was a great admirer of Congo and bought one of his paintings.

Georges Seurat (1859-1891)

Last week we went to see Sondheim's "Sunday in the park with George"...The London's production is an absolute beauty mixing projections, animation and great singing...Wonderful...I felt like revisiting Seurat's paintings and I was delighted to find them as beautiful as ever.
