First this is an interesting site/blog as I am a Courbet and art fan and I just spent a week in Paris!

Mary, maybe you can get this poster at the New York Metropolitain Museum of Fine Arts as this Courbet exhibit traveled there. I visited this exhibit in New York in April 2008 and bought the poster. Maybe you can get it on-line. Good luck.

My favourite painting are also his self-portraits, A DESPERATE MAN being the foremost.
Does anyone know where I may obtain a copy of the Courbet au Grand Palais poster featured on your blog? I surely would appreciate any help you can give me in my search.

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 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

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. ;-)

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.
