Today is our second last day of the Impressionist study tour in Paris.
Tomorrow (Thursday), we will be visiting a photography museum, and on Friday we have a free day to do as we please (Versailles for a few of us).
I never ended up going to the Eiffel Tower on Monday (which is a shame, because I was well rested and it was a perfect evening, and since then the weather has turned sour again).
So tomorrow night is the night we'll be going. Fingers crossed that the weather holds out.
Today, the group went to the Pompedou Museum, which is full of modern art.
The Roy Lichtenstein temporary exhibition began at the museum today, which was really good to see.
It was a good day to be inside, as it was cold and raining all day.
The museum had some good views of the city though.
A lot of the permanent collection was work that I didn't like, or really appreciate. There were some odd things, claiming to be art, yet it did give me a glimmer of hope of a potential career as an artist (haha).
I've recorded a few works that I did like from the day:
We Rose Up Slowly - Roy Lichtenstein 1964
Interior with painting of reclining nude - Roy Lichtenstein 1997
Landscape with Philosopher - Roy Lichtenstein 1996
Portrait de Greta Prozor - Henri Matisse, 1916
Deux Hirondelles - Robert Doisneau 1944
