Ver Klimt

Five paintings. One show. About 45 minutes.
There was a surprise in the amazing depth of the Beech Woods. And to see one of his gold pieces in person was great. But it was over in less time than it took to understand the tangled legal process it took to wrest the pieces from the Austrian government. But a friend of mine who I think may know everything said: "That, I figure, is what love looks like if you got the talent to show it." That thought changes the whole show for me. The show at LACMA - free after 5 p.m. - ends June 30.
