I saw DIE BRUCKE and BONNARD. Kirchner is obvs the crowd pleaser and rightly so but the secret star of the show was Heckel / Henckel?  His stuff has this very charming "special olympic"-ness. It was basically like Girls Gone Wild (lotsa naked, girls lifting skirts, etc) a century back. Gotta love that lime green! My favorite Bonnard interiors flattened tabletop & windows, funny lazy painted checkerboard and stripey tablecloths, women falling out of the sides of paintings. There's a very nice cat somewhere in there too. Also at the met we saw this woman riding a horse all made of gold that was a secret cup if you took the horsehead off and it was on wheels and apparently it would wheel around the table and whoever it stopped in front of would have to drink from it.  !!  Also we got the most ultimate b&w cookies.
