Remembrances from when he was a child in Paris, “2cv” by Joseph Keiffer
Joseph Keiffer was partly raised in Paris by his artistic parents and he is back with a charming exhibition at Jane Roberts Fine Arts.

France by newsletter is more appropriate than my thinking of traveling there….. I’m now walking
with a cane.
History, past and current, is one of the subjects I consider valuable for understanding our world.
