"Hockney’s Eye" is a small, but wonderful exhibition. It doubles as a David Hockney retrospective and an exploration of his ideas about artists' use of optical devices.

My pick of interesting or inspiring creations from the Spring/Summer 2023 ready-to-wear collections.

Golden Boy Gustav Klimt. Inspired by Van Gogh, Rodin, Matisse
I only visited the exhibition Golden Boy Gustav Klimt. Inspired by Van Gogh, Rodin, Matisse… because it serves as a retrospective of Klimt’s work. I left with a renewed appreciation of his work.
Picasso and El Greco at the Kunstmuseum Basel
The exhibition Picasso and El Greco at the Kunstmuseum Basel explores the dialogue between the two artists. It is also an invitation to take a close look at the work of both artists.
Kistefos Museum
