Bass Collection at the Kimbell

Fort Worth Texas is fortunate to have the Kimbell Art Museum  www.kimbellart.org. And even more fortunate to have Texas philanthropy. Nancy Lee and Perry R.Bass amassed a fabulous collection of art work that is now on view at the Renzo Piano Pavillion. Thirty seven works - paintings and sculptures cover Impressionist to post WWII art.   The brochure features Claude Monet's Gare Saint-Lazare. 
I enjoyed a stroll through the exhibit with a good friend, Becky Thorne. We discussed the above Van Gogh - the thick slathered paint - we chose to behave and not touch the textured canvas. Lunch at the Kimbell buffet is always a treat - tasty creations with fresh ingredients.

A winning combo - art and food in the Ft.Worth Cultural District!
