It is too early to say whether it will work, but new avenues of Paris seem promising. Stay tuned.
I enjoyed my weekend visits to two outstanding : The exhibition devoted to Jean-Leon Gerome at the Musée d'Orsay, and the exhibition theme "Science & Science Fiction" at the City of Science and Industry.
Those who know me know I just can not resist the prospect of representations of gladiators.
Remembrance 1:
It seems obvious now, but the memories do come back to me after visiting the exhibition, while I rummaged in the merch ... I mean, in the museum shop. I remembered that when I was little, my father had accompanied the British Museum London, my brother and me. I was fascinated by antiquity, and wanted to see the Rosetta Stone. At the store, my father had offered to cut gladiator masks in cardboard plates. Really cool, when I look back. I had a mask Myrmidon, as the most famous painting by Gérôme Pollice Verso on.
Remembrance 2: I had visited the Musee d'Orsay only once before, permanent collections, with my wife at the time. I remember I wanted to focus on the rooms called "Orientalists" Fromentin Tournemine, Guillaumet, etc.. However, government's response to budget concerns, the museum closes rooms alternatively, lack of staff available for monitoring. And of course the day I had turned up, what are the halls of Orientalists who were locked (I think they even had a sheet of paper taped on the door on which was scrawled in a handwriting angry the following words: "well done for your mouth, Guillaume Gwardeath).
I visited the expo Gérôme the eve of his removal, and the day after my own disassembly (cocktail + dinner at Café Babel very watered Express + Tour In Zak / The Cat / St Saviour). I'm a bit shit in the crowd, preferring usual slots allowing me to enjoy the calm of face to face with art, with a capital letter. There was more face to face with the hangover, with a capital letter, too. Fortunately, most badgers visit at a run, leaving a little space and fresh air to the aesthetes tormented.
I have always loved painters called firefighters. It has always been fashionable to boo me, I love this painting, I was always impressed that Impressionism. I find it's the death metal paint the turn of the century (No. 19 and No. 20). It's overplayed, but it sends.
spy rather this video, instead of listening to me whine.
Expo has obviously fallen short of what might be expected, with its catalog of bashi-bazouks, harem dancers, snake charmers, fortified towns, lions and other remains on the watch funeral Tiger Nubian ...
Among the severed heads that can be seen on the door of the mosque El-Hassmein, the painter would have represented his criticism of the time. Death metal, I tell you.
A whole more or less east of Carnaval, but not more than advertisements for harrowing journey that we can see plastered in the halls of the subway ("learn the mysteries of Egypt," etc.).. An oriental fantasy, sensual, violent, full of cruelty and fate alone.
pre-cinematic force of some canvases is indeed amazing, especially themed "historic", the Pax Romana to General Bonaparte camel in the sands of Giza.
Preview the book (the books of gold = one of the worst manifestation of opportunities in the opinion of "people", with comments on the internet and calls from listeners on the radio). It is written: "Totally sick. Painting pedophile in the taste of a decadent society governed by profit. " There. Excellent analysis. Thank you very much. Goodbye sir.
For Paris, the exhibit is folded. If your chances and necessities take you to Madrid, the exhibition will be presented March 1 to May 22 at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.
