MALBA-Fine Art But No Elephants

I am at the wonderful Malba today – the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires – where I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to see works by artists previously known (by me, I mean)–Frieda Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Fernando Botero–and artists previously unknown (I confess to a terrible ignorance here) – like Alejandro Xul Soler (above).

The bad news: the guards won’t let me take little photographs to draw elephants in. (For fine art with elephants, search prior posts.)

The good news: the cafe honors the city-wide tradition of serving a little plate of unordered treats with your order of coffee. Ah.
