DIRECTOR HERMITAGE SAINT-PETERSBURG
Two days ago Renate & I met Michail Piotrovski, the director of the Hermitage, Saint-Petersburg, in De Kerkzaal of the Hermitage, Amsterdam. I asked him (in Russian) for his signature on the poster of Maison Musée (Le Pouldu). He looked at the poster and put his signature. So: A Russian signature on a Breton poster in a Dutch museum, isn't that really Holland - Russia - Brittany? It fits well with the exhibition at this moment in The Hermitage: Gauguin, Bonnard, Denis. Especially because my Dutch-Russian-Breton exhibition in August took place at the memorial of Paul Gauguin in the chapel Notre Dame de La Paix. Pour jamais oublier, Serge!
