Life is busy right now. One day left before we drive off to deliver the college freshman.
In between packing and going through boxes of Kleenex, I continue revisions on the novel.
I welcome this distraction ~ a chance to keep my promise and bring you Part II of PARIS : Food & Art
Marie-Guillemine BENOIST: Portrait de Négresse, 1800 Musée du Lourvre
Musée D’Orsay ~ magnificently restored Beaux-Arts train station; 19th century art. My favorite museum in Paris:
GUSTAVE CAILLEBOTTE, Raboteurs de parquet, 1875
One of my top five favorite paintings.
VINCENT VAN GOGH, La Nuit étoilée, 1888
Starry Night Over the Rhone
La Chambre de Van Gogh á Arles, 1889
[Van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles]
Musée du Lourve ~ what
ALEXANDROS of ANTIOCH, Aphrodité tés Mélou, Between 130-100 BC
[Venus de Milo]
JEAN-AUGUSTE-DOMINIQUE INGRES, Le Bain Turc, 1862
[The Turkish Bath]
Ingres’ precise abstraction of the human body works for me; those necks require extra vertebrae! Quite simply: the man could draw.
Musée Rodin ~ another favorite for the statues in the gardens ~
Rue De Montorgueil 75001 ~ we call it The Foodie Street
They drew us in with samples out on the street ~ Our pizza was delicious, as was the wine.
The manager was a charmer from Napoli!
Mapped Neighborhood Walks, Good Eats and In The Know sidebars: I would not do Paris without this little book.
You zip through at break neck speed what takes this blogger HOURS (yes!) to create and publish and so…
…To Be Continued…

Bonjour, Anita,
So nice to see your photos….we were just there in the exact same spots.
And, I agree, the Musee D’Orsay is the best. We watched the clouds overhead
spill across the sculptures, making them come alive. And, Rodin’s home
museum is a favorite place. Relaxed.
