Last Friday, WP and I took the day off from work and, after a fine brunch at The Lone Wolf in Amherst, went down to Springfield to check out an exhibition called The New Reality: The Frontier of Realism in the 21st Century. It was quite good; showing the new realism paintings juxtaposed with small, comparative labels of classic works of Realism depicting a similar subject matter.
Cameras were not allowed into this exhibit but from the brochure, I did a little web research on some of the artists whose work I enjoyed the most - Isabelle du Toit (Rouaud) of Germany is one of them.
