I'm pale and mild; a modern girl
On a tip from a friend, Alex and I went to the Kundsthaus Museum on Wednesday to take advantage of free entry. The museum was expansive and beautiful (the two of us decided all museums were meant to look this way) and had an especially impressive modern art collection as well as a small wing with notable impressionists (what can I say? I have a one-track mind). The photo included is a sneak one taken with my iPhone because, once again, photos were “discouraged.”
A few of my favorite pieces I saw were
- With Winds by Lee Ufan
- Brunsktuck Runes Schwarzen Madchens by Albert Muller
- Portrait de Patience Escalier by Van Gogh
- Henri Rocheforts Flucht by Manet
- Blidnis Frau Else Glaser by Edvard Munch
We decided entry cost too much and the line was too long at the Louvre, but we still shot the obligatory pictures.
The famed Musee D’Orsay clock.
To everyone who insisted I visit the Musee D’Orsay: Merci beaucoup. The collection there was spectacular and I was absolutely in my element pacing through the exhibits during one of my Parisian afternoons. As a worshiper at the shrine of the impressionists I marveled at piece after piece that I had only seen printed in books. Total immersion. I took the special exhibit- Degas et le Nu- as proof that Paris was welcoming me personally by highlighting my favorite painter and his progression through his nude work. The pictures here aren’t the best because photography wasn’t allowed but I managed a few shots. The real images to see are the ones within the gallery anyway, and I jotted down a few new pieces I fell in love with (excuse any spelling mistakes, my jotting is not anything close to readable):
- Leo Gausson’s La maison
- Seurat’s Poseuse DFace
- Maximillion Luce’s Une Rue de Paris en Mai 1871
- Degas’ Danseuses Bleues, Femme Debouf, Femme Debouf dans une Baignoire and Femme assise sur le Bord d’une Baignoire, S’epongent le Cou
- Pissarro’s Rue Sur La Cote des Mathurins Pontoise
- Giovanni Boldini’s Madam Charles Max
- Toulouse-Lautrec’s Le Lit and Lous Bougle
