On Sunday evening I went to the 2006 Pageant of the Masters at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach. This "tableaux vivant" performance recreates famous pieces of art with a human "cast" in costumes and make-up standing in.

I was most impressed by their presentation of the marble statues in the Trevi Fountain and three works by Vincent van Gogh: "Artist on the Road to Tarascon," "First Steps, after Millet" and "The Sower."
