Pinakothek

Writer Luc Santé has a weblog ‘about pictures’… “Subjectivity is my middle name, a trick memory is my pack mule, and self-contradiction is my trusty old jackknife.” (Pinakothek) [From Wikipedia: “A pinacotheca is a picture gallery in either ancient Greece or ancient Rome. The name is specifically used for the building containing pictures which formed the left wing of the Propylaea on the Acropolis at Athens, Greece…(The word) is used for a public gallery on the continent of Europe, as at Bologna and Turin. At Munich there are three galleries known as the Alte Pinakothek, Neue Pinakothek and Pinakothek der Moderne.”]
