"The scene would be recognizable to any Parisian: a cafe table, laid with drinks and newspaper."

I am not exactly a Parisian but I am French and used to café / terrasse etc.. But I really not see that until i read the description.

Apropos of nothing; I saw Henri Matisse's "Blue Girl" at the Tate Modern and was astounded by how many rough bits of paper it's made of. Torn edges, blobs of glue, some pins sticking out.

All the photos make it smooth like a silkscreen print, but that's not even close to the raw, primitive construction techniques he used to get his vision. Really compelling.

The expanding photos make me queesy.

This feels like a slideshow of magazine image captions and the newspaper forgot to include the article. I closed it after the third caption scrolled by. I find them very uncomfortable to read.

Some of it feels like broken/glitch art of the 2000s

Grunge, it was called back in the day.

Any archives?

This is the NYTimes "gift article" version. Its ok, but its only for 14 days. We'll see how this goes. The page has some large images and is styled heavily.
