Section 886 Under those cherry trees
In Paris, the Musée de Ores has Monet’s most famous paintings, and a dedicated Orangery Art Gallery (this place will be mentioned later) only displays Monet’s lotus pond.
After seeing so many of his paintings at once, I have a further understanding of this person who tried his best to capture light and shadow. An Qingju was deeply impressed with these paintings.
The painting "Woman in the Garden" is 2.5 meters wide, very beautiful. The whole painting has almost no lines, which creates the effect of light and shadow. The woman talks and rests under the shade of the tree, and the swaying sunlight projects through the branches onto the hem of the skirt, which is very dazzling.
"The Virgin" and "St. Lazar Railway Station", the former is only half a meter high, while the latter is only 75 cm high. The common feature is that you can't see anything when you get closer. Only by standing farther can you feel a flowing air, either the country wind blowing in your face, or the fog at the station.
If you stay away from it, things will come alive and look very good. For example, the painting "Yu Meiren" looks inconspicuous and tastes more and more. That's what it means.
Edgar Degas's "Ballet Dance Class". He really painted opera houses a lot. Ballet rehearsals, band performances, and many paintings depict various characters in this place and this profession. Now An Qingju feels that when he mentions the paintings of ballet dancers, he thinks of Edgar Degas coming.
However, the dancing girls he drew were so youthful that the gauze skirt had the same effect as foggy under various lights, which was very beautiful.
Renoir's "The Dance of the Gallet Mill". Does An Chuyu especially like to see large paintings? This painting is 1.75 meters wide and the atmosphere of the picture is very good. This Gallet Mill is located in the Montmartre Heights, which shows that in the late 19th century, the Montmartre Heights was already a place for artists to gather and various entertainment.
However, the picture is different from the photos. There are key points and plots in the picture, and people chat easily under the light and shadow. The atmosphere of the outdoor cafe under the shade of the trees, and the joy of young people dancing and dating here, almost sounds are heard in the picture.
There are many paintings of Renoir in the Orsay Museum, so this painting has been seen for the longest time and feels the most interesting.
The works of the Three Masters of Post-Impressionism, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh, are concentrated in Halls 70-72 on the second floor of the Orsay Museum. It is so easy to find. When there are many people, the import and export will be planned uniformly. Everyone must enter and visit in one direction and then come out one after another.
An Qingju and An Chushi went to see them on this day when they didn’t have money. When they went to see them in person, they would be much better. Despite this, the exhibition halls of the works of these three masters of post-impressionism were the most popular.
Let’s talk about Cezanne’s paintings first. Actually, I don’t understand them very well. His still life oil paintings look like gouache painted by An Qingju and An Chushi in the studio - of course the technique is much better.
The landscape painting looks more like a watercolor painting, with light colors and sufficient moisture. It is said that he has painted more than 80 paintings called "St. Victor Mountain", and the teachers in the school will definitely praise "really working hard". Even An Chuyu couldn't see which one is better. If An Chuyu was an art teacher, he would probably mislead his children and say, "Why don't you make progress?"
The famous "Woman next to the Coffee Maker" was not good at reading it.
Let’s talk about Gauguin and An Qingju learned about Gauguin from two places. The first is that he knew that he was once a friend of Van Gogh and had rented a house with Van Gogh to draw, but was frightened by Van Gogh's schizophrenia.
When Gauguin was young, he was relatively rich and sold his paintings when he was alive. Even if he was not very famous, he would not worry about his source of income. This is simply a role model in Van Gogh's life. It was too exciting to Van Gogh. Humph! Anyone who stimulated my idol Van Gogh is a villain in An Qingju's heart. Beat it down!
Second, General An Qingju saw words like words depicting women in Shi Tai Yi Shu’s novels, "She is like the black pearl of Tahiti in Gauguin's works", etc. How beautiful is this Tahitian girl? This time I went to the Olympics and saw Emma was shocked. It was really a lover's eyes. Why did she become a black pearl when she looked like this?
dang-dang-dang! Finally, I talked about Van Gogh. Van Gogh is not a Frenchman, but he has been in France for a long time. He has struggled in France throughout his life. The French are also happy to hang the words "Van Gogh used to paint here" at various attractions. The Osay Museum exhibits many works of Van Gogh, including those familiar to An Qingju.
"Van Gogh's Room in Arles" and "Orwell Church"; Arles and this church are not far from Paris. "Self-portrait" is one of the more famous self-portraits; the background of this Olympus is very dynamic, and Van Gogh's eyes are very firm. There is also "Doctor Gassey".
"Starry Night", this picture is so beautiful, it is quite large, and looks like it is one meter wide. An Qingju used this painting to make the desktop on her mobile phone for a long time, and it looked so quiet and dynamic.
Okay, let’s count it with your fingers. I have watched “Iris”, at the Getty Center in Los Angeles; I have watched “Cypress in the Wheat Field”, at the exhibition of the German National Expo; I have watched a large number of them in the Olympic Games.
There are also the famous "Starry Night" that I haven't watched, but I'm in the Museum of Modern Art in New York; there are no "Sunflower" that I'm in London; there are all the famous "Coffee House at Night" in the Netherlands - I don't know when to go there.
There are many modern works in the Olympic Games, so I won’t list them one by one. The main thing is that An Qingju and An Chu meet an outsider. Don’t pretend to understand. The listed above are all known to you before, but now I’m going to see the true face.
Let’s talk about a few exhibits that An Qingju and An Chuyu had not seen before. After consulting the staff, we also confirmed that they were not in the museum at this time (for example, they were loaned out for exhibition). Those who have never seen them will naturally feel better. They are somewhat regretful and are listed here as a reflection.
1. Courbet's "The Source of the World". What's the point of drawing a naked butt? It's the right place. The name is also good, it's the source of the world. 2. Manet's "The Boy Playing the Piccolo". This is a model painting in art class. As soon as I introduced "Impressionism", I used this picture to talk about it first, but I didn't see it, which is a pity.
3. Whistler's "Whistler's Mother". Is this really ruined by Mr. Bean?
Come out of the Orsay Museum, cross the Art Bridge again, and walk along the south side of Dulleri Garden for a while to the Orange Garden. It was almost noon. The sky on the Seine River was blue and the white clouds were wild, reflecting the vivid faces of tourists on the river bank.
This is Orange Garden Art Museum. Of course, there are many people who come to visit for free today. Fortunately, everyone is in good order. After 20 minutes, it was An Qingju and An Chuyu's turn to enter.
When queuing, don’t forget to look around. The statues around these art galleries are all famous. Look! Outside the Orange Garden Art Gallery is Rodin’s "Kiss".
I went to the Orange Garden to see Monet, to be precise, to see Monet’s “Lotus Pond”. Of course, there are also works by Gauguin, Cezanne, Renoir, and even Picasso on the second floor of the Orange Garden Art Museum. But the real main exhibit of this museum is the “Lotus Pond” - the professional name is “Lesnympheas”.
The entire first floor exhibition hall is actually an oval exhibition hall with sky light. With the natural sunlight transmitted from frosted glass, three Monet's giant "lotus pond" works are displayed here.
Don’t get me wrong, there is not a single person here. This is a photo found on the Internet, because there are no photos here. Moreover, there are staff members standing at the corners of the door, and anyone who takes photos will shout to you, which will make you feel ashamed of death.
The three water lily works here were donated by Monet to the Paris Municipal Government. They painted the different "impressions" of Giverny's lotus pond in the morning, evening, noon, and with trees. When there are not many people, they come here and just sit on the stool in the middle "lookatthepain", which feels "very good."
It is about having a picnic by the river with friends I haven't seen for a long time. Piic, Pixnet. The new vernacular poem has been joked by many people (including Puyi). I think this likable poem is catchy, especially on the banks of the Seine in Paris, and in the Dullee Garden, which is even more called "Pickini".
Pick a big tree, surround a bench, and then pull a few garden chairs that suit you. Just like this, are adults and children very happy?
An Chuyu and An Qingju also found a square courtyard with neatly trimmed Fatong on all sides and sat down. They found a few chairs, some for sitting, and some for foot pads, which was really not troublesome. Then they spread the simple lunch of An Chuyu and An Qingju, so that they could pick up the afternoon sun and the breeze between the shade of trees.
The sun was scorching at noon in Paris, and standing in the sun made people unable to open their eyes and scalp numb, but sitting under the shade of the tree, I felt a little chill. I had to put on a thin coat!
With enough water and full food, I watched the tour groups hurriedly crossing the Dulleri Garden on the road, either rushing to the Louvre, or coming out of the Louvre to the Plaza de Concorde. Someone asked, is it like this? The photos below prove that the people of the world are actually similar to those of tourism thinking, so don’t underestimate yourself.
Ashamed, An Chuyu and An Qingju were sleepy after a picnic and wanted to go home and go back to Juesmida. However, driven by the motivation of "free today", An Chuyu and An Qingju still went to visit the Luodan Art Museum. Master Sorry! An Chuyu and An Qingju are even fake art lovers.
From the Dulleri Garden to the Rodin Art Gallery, you have to "work hard" across the Seine River, and then go south along the street next to the Osay Pier, first pass the Air France headquarters, the Palace of Bourbon (Palais Bourbn), and other tall buildings such as the parliament hall. It takes a long time to get there. Of course, you can also take the subway, but you have to walk a while. In fact, the scenery along the way is good, and the street is also very spacious.
Chapter completed!
