See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.
Spiders: The system has identified your IP as being a spider. I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, a number of options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm excited for your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

VMFGER_200102_01.JPG: French Modernism:
During the first half of the 20th century, artists from all over Europe looked to Paris as a cultural capital, where lively artistic exchanges and a spirit of experimentation and innovation produced a quick succession of movements including Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism. While many of the artists were French, some were emigres from other European countries: Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, and Salvador Dalis were from Spain; Jacques Lipchitz was from Lithuania; and Alexander Archipenko came from the Ukraine. There were also connections between artists working in Paris and German Expressionists, such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, whose works are on display in the adjacent gallery. The rich dialogues between artists of different nationalities emphasize the complex web of cultural influences that shaped the way artists working in Paris understood the modern world. Rapid industrialization, the ability to move across national borders via trains, and the quick dissemination of local and international news through mass-produced newspapers, all fed into their desire to explore radical new forms of visual communication.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
