I really like this Caillebotte too, & it's actual been to SF at least once before. I haven't seen many of his paintings, but I feel like he has anticipated the snapshot.Axel Feldheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517904558156089265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17709835.post-39644716913212659902010-08-31T07:55:35.734-07:002010-08-31T07:55:35.734-07:00Note to self... my favourite Caillebotte is no lon...Note to self... my favourite Caillebotte is no longer in Paris.

But maybe this is just another koan...<br /><br />I have seen Whistler's Mother at the Musee d'Orsay, which was an even funnier encounter, because my first reaction was, "What are YOU doing here?"<br /><br />The first time I see the original of a painting, I am usually surprised by its size. It's always much bigger or smaller than what I imagined.Axel Feldheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517904558156089265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17709835.post-62751461726314119212010-08-27T21:21:16.050-07:002010-08-27T21:21:16.050-07:00"Bouguereau' s hairless fantasies make me..."Bouguereau' s hairless fantasies make me itch, but I get the point."<br /><br />Could you possibly explicate this koan in further detail?<br /><br />And I too loved "Whistler's Mother" in the flesh. It's the odd outrageously famous painting that's much better live than reproduced. Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" is another one.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17709835.post-91136553460480950732010-08-27T11:20:08.179-07:002010-08-27T11:20:08.179-07:00Those turkeys do make me laugh, I will miss them w...Those turkeys do make me laugh, I will miss them when they go home to Paris.The Opera Tattlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817163818697608446noreply@blogger.com
