From Le Chat Noir to the Eiffel Tower @ The Phillips Collection

I've always been meaning to check out one of these Thursday evening events at THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION near Dupont Circle in downtown DC.

This GALLERY TALK would probably be a real treat to attend on MARCH 1:

RIVIERE AND PARIS: FROM LE CHAT NOIR TO THE EIFFEL TOWER

This talk, about photographs taken by Henri Rivière depicting all aspects of the "city of light," relates to an exhibition at the museum which I've mentioned in a previous blogpost.

Didn't we all just fall in love again with Paris after Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris"?

(I was glad that he won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar on February 26 for that film!)
