Class was in the morning and early afternoon today, so there was time to visit the Marc Chagall museum, just a short walk away and up, up, up a hill. Elisabeth and I made our way there, arriving about 3:30. We bought our tickets and went into the galleries. Each of us was able to get the audio information in our own language – English and German.
The building was designed to hold Chagall’s large works depicting biblical scenes. I have a few photos to share with you, but they capture only a meager essence of works. Size and texture and the vibrant colors are diminished by my photos. Chagall worked not only with paint, pencil and glass, but sculpture and tapestry, too.
On the way home, Elisabeth went searching for the chickpea flour to make socca. After three stops at small shops, she found it!
Once home, after tea with Michele, I attempted to write about my experience at the museum in French. Michele was willing to correct my mistakes, which was very nice of her.
Thought for the day: when I look back at all the dialogues, sketches and practice sentences that I have written, will I believe that I was able to do this, or will I smile at my apprentice-attempts? Only time will tell.
Have a good night, Dear Reader.
