Seen: le futurisme à Paris

le futurisme, Umberto Boccioni, Stati d'animo, quelli che vanno 1911 courtesy The Moma, NY

Seen the exhibition at Centre Pompidou.
A bit disappointed by the circulation of the works of art. Thought they would come from prestigious places, and so on and so forth (NB: the exhibition is part of the Saison Culturelle program...). Quite a lot of them came actually from the Centre Pompidou itself. The major parts of the works exhibited came from Milano.
Apart from that, lovely pieces by Carra (I'm not sure of the spelling)
Loved these words heard in the exhibition, from an old lady: "this painting by Sonia Delaunay shines in the heart". True...
