Avant garde Quote by Richard Rogers

“I remember my mother taking me to see the Picasso show in the 1940s, and I was impressed by the life and vibrancy of it all. It was a bit too avant-garde for most Londoners at the time, but since then, the city has become a centre for modern culture.” quote by Richard Rogers — Download Open image
