Sunday afternoon after the troops went home, Christine called me and Amanda to join her at LACMA to see the new Art of Two Germanys exhibit. It was nice to get out of the house as I was ready to take a nap and call it a weekend. My favorite in this show was a piece called Hand and Foot, rows and rows of old shoes and work gloves found at the site of a train station in German that had been badly bombed and burned in the war. It was so sad and strange to see them lined up all the same gray brown color, everyday objects that once belonged to someone across the world and lost in this terrible war. Shoes with wooden soles held together with nails, from a very different time, which really wasn't that long ago. We Also saw the Vanity Fair portraits, which I enjoyed. I loved all the photos, but it was also really cool to see the old old covers from the early 1900's.
