Paris Blog 12 : Pompidou Center and Klee

So reviled, and then accepted by the Parisians, it is a huge building turned inside out, and it had become one of the top three visited in Paris (along with the Louvre, and Musee d'Orsay).
And what a great exhibition by one of my absolute favorites.  I remember owning a book on Klee in high school, and visiting the Philadelphia Art Museum which has a good collection.
But this was an exhibit to make the dreams of a Klee fanatic come true.  I wish I had had the time to photograph every one.  Here are my favorites (hell, they are all my favorites.).
