The Balcony by Édouard Manet, 1868-69


I spent several hours this morning looking for contemporary dog-art works at the 55th Venice Biennale. I got nothing.   But it doesn't officially start until tomorrow, June 1, 2013, so I'm hoping some will appear.


In the meantime, "Manet. Return to Venice" is drawing 1,700 visitors a day at the Palazzo Ducale according to The New York Times.


I am a homebody, but art in Venice with dogs makes me wistful for a visit, or maybe just a Bellini on my front porch.

    Lucky you Moira to be in Venice. Been there before and after the Biennale traveling with art. My favorite place to visit is the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, Calle dei Furlani 3259/A. Hours: Tues.–Sun. 9–12, 3–6 in Castello. Very intimate. Enjoy Viittore Carpaccio’s Vision of St. Augustine, and the wonderful, and of course, faithful dog. Ciao.
    Bellinis will be coming soon along with the fresh peaches in the area. Safe travels.
    The heat is on here in Sacto.
