The...
Tamara... de Lempicka...
Suite...
At... the...
Grand Hotel... et de Milan...
Was... restful...
Once again... I am transported to that moment in time... when one comes "face à face"... so to speak with an icon... "l'esprit Lempicka"... by staying in the very suite she stayed in... which was named after her...
Spellbound....
By the... beauty....
Of the... glass art...
At... the...
"MURANO - FRAGILE"...
"Chefs-d'œuvre de verre de la Renaissance au XXIe siècle"...
Exhibition... at the...
Musée Maillol...
I was... reminded...
Of a... hazy morning...
In... Venice...
Keith... Haring's...
Gigantic... works...
Were all over... the Metro walls...
Thought... provoking...
Riveting... posters... drawings...
Untitled painting by Keith Haring (1981)...Keith... would have been...
Pleased... delighted...
Having just visited Haring's exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris... I too... was impressed by his formidable works... displayed not only in the Musée but also in the Metro... for that's where it all started...
"CHAGALL...
Entre... Guerre...
Et... Paix"...
Between... War and Peace...
An... exhibition...
At... the...
Musée du... Luxembourg...
Organised by the... Réunion des Musées Nationaux - Grand Palais...
"Portraits... of a Society"...
Jacques-Émile Blanche...
Known... as the...
"Proust... of Painting"...
Was honoured... with an exhibition at the...
Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent...
"Du côté de chez Jacques-Émile Blanche... Un salon à la Belle Époque"...
Blanche frequented from a very young age Parisian artistic circles... becoming French high society's most prestigious portraitist by the end of the 19th century.
"L'Art... en Guerre"...
Two... powerful components...
That... have been...
Inexplicably... bonded...
"L'ombre... de l'histoire"...
The shadows of history... In the dark gloomy entrance... of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris... was a flashback to the September 1938 Munich Agreement... which did nothing whatsoever to hinder or stop Hitler's warped desire to dominate and take over Europe...
A... gypsy...
At... heart...
Having lived... like a nomad...
In many... varied exotic lands...
I immediately identified... with the exhibition at the...
Grand Palais...
"Bohèmes... de Léonard de Vinci à Picasso"...
Entering...
The Louvre's... main entrance...
By way... of I.M. Pei's...
Awesome... glass pyramid...
Which... has become...
As... iconic...
As the magnificent... Eiffel Tower...
The majestic... "Arc de Triomphe"...
We find ourselves... admiring the newly decorated Cour Visconti courtyard...
Stepping into the stunning... new galleries...
Home to the Louvre's... Department of Islamic Art...
The... exhibition...
"Canaletto à Venise...
At the... Musée Maillol...
Under the patronage of...
The City of Venice...
Pays homage to the city... with its first exhibition devoted exclusively to...
At the arched entrance of the Musée Maillol...Canaletto’s... Venetian works...
His paintings capture the intense dazzling light... of Venice... like no other painter...
Le Grand Palais...
Hosted... the opening of the...
26th Biennale des Antiquaires...
Which was... spectacular...
"Le Tout Paris"...
Attended...
French... glamour...
At its... best...
Dark... labyrinths...
Of... the mind...
A black place... of shadows...
Mystery...
Enigma...
It is a... black on grey...
Painting...
I have... painted...
Artemisia...
A... woman...
Of power... passion... glory...
A... painter... in the... "Seicento"...
Picasso...
Pablo Picasso...
A painter...
A force of nature...
A typical Spaniard - young, good looking, thin, dark, moody, with hypnotic black eyes.
"Degas...
et le Nu"....
We... came to admire...
The exceptional show... "Degas and the Nude"...
