ART BASEL really impressed me this year. Usually it's a toss up...what with the strange and outrageous disguised as "art", I usually head straight for the classics...Marvelled by the Matisse sketches and Chagall gouaches and Picasso paintings...Those left me in awe, yet again, this year but I had some new favorites, too. Francesco Clemente's portraits sealed the deal for me...I've been a fan of his work ever since Ethan Hawke debuted his art as his own in "Great Expectations" but to see them in person brought new and utter appreciation to light. The people watching is my other favorite part of the night. The New Yorkers and the Europeans try to outdo each other with their fashionista-ways and I all but drool over the clothes. Fashion and art is the best combination since burgers and cheese! Go and see what I mean...meanwhile I'm inspired to do large scale portraits!!!
