Wow, Courbet — I would love to see this. I have an art history degree from Chicago and remember the works in the Art Institute but I never really saw enough of Courbet’s works. thanks to The Beaver for the link. By the way, Claude, I recommended your blog to a friend who is going to Paris next month, after she asked about your picture of the girl in red which I have as my wallpaper.

I do hope I have a chance to get to Paris to catch this exhibition. I have seen quite a few ( especially the big ones) at Musee D’Orsay and also got a good appreciation of his work at le musee Gustave Courbet @ Ornans

The National gallery of Art in DC, the Art Instutute of Chicago and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam have some of his works in their collections

Art and museums are the things that I miss most living out here amongst the sheep. I soak that stuff up like a sponge when I get the chance! I have always been interested in his work. Origine du Monde still shocks people, especially the tourists.

Claude, Some years back when we lived in Washington,D.C. I frequently went to all the major exhibits at the National Gallery of Art. I would always rent the audio tour so I would not be so lost and this helped my understanding and enjoyment.

I decided that my favorite artist was Matisse. His paintings were so happy,vibrant and colorful.

a certain weirdness to archimboldo’s work has always fascinated me. sadly i cannot read french, so will have to hope for enlightenment in another life. enjoyed the jars you pictured along with his painting; made up my own text.

I used to see all the exhibitions that came to our museum, but about 10 years ago, I ceased doing that - to my detriment. I rediscovered my love of it in Europe last fall, and I have vowed to again attend as many as I can.
