Broccoli & Crayfish on French Silver, Getty Museum: my art school

Passmoore, Works Of Alexander & I.V.

Thomas Germain, 18th Century French silversmith, was responsible for the object. It's a far cry from modern day silverware. Today's average spoons, knives and forks lack any of the ornate refinement so valued by the French in times past. The silver boar's head vessel is also worth examining. Series Description: A fancy art museum near Santa Monica -- 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049. For more than a year, I maintained a steadfast regimen, going every Thursday evening. Regularly viewing the works of old masters proved educational... almost like an art school.
