D'Orsay

I've come to find after many art museum excursions as of late.....I'm a very very picky art liker. We went to the Musee D'Orsay and it was cool, but I wasn't that impressed. I guess I'm not impressed with impressionism. The museum was undergoing some serious updating so a lot of pieces were missing. Monet's bridge painting was gone, Whistler's Mother was gone, the famous Renior was gone. But I did see lots of Van Gogh (including his self portrait) and Lautrec (who's drawings I actually liked!), and various others.


I liked "Solitude" by Alexander Harrison


"Portrait de Georges Rodenbauch Vers 1895" by Lucien Levy Dhurmer
it was very unusual 

The painting by Huges Merle

And "Dante et Virgile aux enfers" by Adolphe William Bouguereau for obvious reason



Sorry impressionism....you're not for me.
