Visited André in Madrid last weekend. He is leaving in a few months time, so it was a bit of a goodbye visit as well.
The weather was cold and rainy - but Madrid has enough to offer. Long lunches at Lateral for example, and then the exhibition on Dutch Design in the former slaughter house.
And a beautyfull exhibiton on human slaughter in the State museum El Prado: Goya en tiempos de Guerra - or: Goya on war. It was a bit startling to notice that since Goya drawn his sketches on the Napolean wars, the uprisal in Madrid and the takeover of the Spanish Inquisition - that human cruelty and brutality hasn't evolved a single bit. Progress? I don't think so.
