Only 6 more days in this beautiful city before I begin to make the long trek back stateside! In the past few days, museums have been my life! We went to Musee D'Orsay this past Thursday where I was able to see some Monet and fabulous impressionist works! I wasn't able to take pictures while in the museum so I'm going to show you a few of my favorites!
This is Renoir's La Seine a Champrosay, I love the movement and use of brush strokes in this piece!
Manet's L'Evasion de Rochefort, love the blues!
My favorite painting in D'Orsay, Renoir's Jeune Femme a la violette! She looks beautiful but so mysterious not facing outward with her face lightly covered. Don't you just want to know where she's been and what she is thinking?! I do!!
Obviously not impressionist, but I love this painting called Lambourage Nivernais by Rosa Bonheur!
So apparently I was feeling impressionism and pastoral scenes/cows in the D'Orsay? This piece is called Le Passage du Gue by Constant Troyon.
We visited my favorite today, the modern art museum or Centre Pompidou! It was refreshing to see different kinds of art today because after the Louvre and D'Orsay, I don't think I could've taken many more renaissance era paintings of people that looked basically the color and texture of uncooked chicken. I looked forward the most to installations because I've always been into those, but here are some of my favorites since we could take pictures here!
Thought this piece was super cool!
What is she pointing at??
Any Warhol-Ten Lizes, 1963
LOVE all the colors! So eye-catching!
A chain link fence redone!
Picasso!
Love the picture especially with my outline, haha!
I am particularly attracted to interesting textures when it comes to art so this museum was perfect for me! As far as the rest of this week goes, we are headed out of the city to Versailles tomorrow and then I still need to go to the Catacombs, Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise, and hopefully Monmartre in the evening to see the beautiful views of the city!
Thanks for reading!
