Bekhteev

I went to the Neue Gallerie last weekend. And I gotta say that it's a nice place to see some art. The most famous thing in their permanent collection is that Woman in Gold by Klimt. But they had this awesome Russian/German exhibit of Blaue Reiter and "Donkey's Tail" artists including this dude, Vladimir Georgievich Bekhteev.
The only painting of his at the exhibit (I think) was a painting of bathers, done in 1910. It blew my mind. After seeing it I didn't want to look at any more art. But this thing above, this Venus of Urbino through Olympia, is fantastic. I ain't seen it in real life though.
