Its been a fast paced two weeks in Cannes even though it seems as though everything dragged from the general demeanor of the city. Luggage is being loaded and shipped and then in a matter of 24 hours I'm off to the bigger city. Not really going to miss the food (last night we had purée chicken topped with a cheesy milky sauce) however, JC and I have made the most of it with Tapatio sauce and outlandishly absurd humor that really shouldn't be as funny as we make it out to be.
We visited the Fondation Maeght Museum with much by Matisse and Bronnard. There was a great piece that was an entirely blank canvas with the lighest etching of a bottle of vinegar and a pear. It reminded me of John Cage's 4'33'' and its "purposely play" which is said to be an "affirmation of life - not an attempt to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we are living, which is so excellent once one gets one's mind and desires out of the way and lets it act of its own accord."
Superb theory, I'm off.
