"just a minute,
measure your words,
count your blessings.
yet, it's the moments in between,
that give us reason, give us rhyme"

After a very nice lunch at Tiato's in Santa Monica...a beautiful outdoor garden lunch spot with a Viet Nam flavor...but they do have a nice burger and fries... we went to Bergamot Station to roam the galleries.
We made our way to the William Turner Gallery to view the paintings by Casper Brindle Azimuth. He uses automotive paint, acrylic, resin on panels.
Next we went to the Latin American Masters gallery to view new paintings by Jose Alberto Marchi who was born in Argentina in 1957. There we had a long talk with the owner of the gallery who gave us a wonderful docent led tour of the exhibit.

 |
| Jose Alberto Marchi's "Sacrificio." "Marchi's exhibition is inspired by 'The Sacrifice' (1986) by Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky's protagonist, in an unexplained act, sets his own house on fire. Marchi takes this image of a burning house and combines it with images of anonymous characters taken from late 19th century photographs, creating strange new paintings that allow for a multiplicity of interpretations." |
 |
| This painting of a 19th century classroom scene seems to suggest that the teacher is provoking "fiery" ideas. |
 |
| The men seems to be burning framed canvases. |
 |
| What's your interpretation? |
 |
| These women seem to be sewing while the house burns...sewing seeds of destruction? |
