...Sinuous couples skate at Paris' Palais de Glace, while artificial light bouncing off the ice creates the effect of fairy dust across the canvas. Not a huge fan of the Pointillists, Senn nevertheless acquired a glistening Beach of the Vignasse by Henri-Edmond Cross. He largely neglected the Fauves, except for a few Paris scenes by Albert Marquet and one lively painting by André Derain, Bougival, that Senn's father-in-law called the "most daft and most ugly" thing the younger man had ever bought.
