20th century art symposium at the MIMA and..............SNOW!!!!!!!

I had been looking forward to hearing lectures today at the MIMA, on 20th century art (Cezanne, Cubism and Matisse), so was rather worried by apocalyptic snow warnings from the Met Office!!!!!! Managed to get there and back safely, although the snow did begin and had to shovel and salt drive to get my car up the slope!!!! Gill Perry, one of the lecturers arrived by train from London, gave her lecture and left soon after as she did not want to be marooned in York (altho that's not a bad place to be !!!).
The lectures were interesting and the Tate's, loaned, still life pictures were too. I particularly enjoyed being able to see one of Picasso's collages at very close quarters, having had to write an essay recently on a similar picture. I also enjoyed a number of modern still life's-one with 9 boxes, in three piles of three with objects inside, was my favourite. The collection inclued Nicholson, Bell as well as Picasso and a  number of other well known artists. Such a shame the audience was made up of only a dozen or so......
