As for art, I have a close observational interest. Of my four children, three have graduated from Beaux Art schools. (One is now a teacher, one a check-out girl at the Beaubourg bookshop, and the third answers a telephone hotline for an insurance company). I can't say I've been impressed by what they were taught in their various schools.

You know more about it than I do then! But schools are far from the only places where art is produced, or even learned. I'll admit that it's probably true that there is a part of the art world that is at the moment, in France, rather stuck in its tracks. Too bad this part happens to have most of the money and media attention
But things are changing. Things always change.
