The Musees Royaux des Beaux Arts was a nice place to pass the day. Aside from a handful of name brand foreign artists the museum placed its primary emphasis upon Belgian works - including some rather obscure material. Although I was already acquainted with cubism, I had not been introduced to the Belgian offshoot - tubism - which used tubes instead of cubes as the primary compositional element. I really enjoyed the Belgian surrealists, particularly Delvaux, whose paintings seemed to call for a complete abandonment of logic. But this is not such a bad thing because, as someone else once said, in the end logic will break your heart. (9/02/04)
