On Tuesday I went to the Montparnasse Cemetery, which was nice but not nearly as cool as Le Pere Lachaise. For the rest of the day I took it easy and did some school work (snooze). Today our Vis Comm class went to Musée d'Orsay to view the Impressionists on the fifth floor in particular. The museum used to be a train station and houses "newer" art than the Louvre. The art was, of course, beautiful and I discovered some artists I had never heard of before. Some of the more notable paintings are shown below. I then took the Metro to a record store and IT FLIPPING RAINED ON ME--not fun. Feeling brain dead so not too much to share today. Au revoir, Simone!
Self Portrait, Vincent Van Gogh
Bedroom in Arles, Vincent Van Gogh (earlier version of the final, more famous painting)
Bal au moulin de la Galette, Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Ballet, Edgar Degas
Olympia, Édouard Manet
Luncheon on the Grass, Édouard Manet
