Promenade de l'oiseau by Victor Brauner

I saw this painting in the Musée de Grenoble a few months back. It was one of many fine paintings in that beautiful art museum. It was so spacious; purpose designed to hold large and small pieces. A modern building with wood floors, white walls, a very easy way through the building, a sculpture garden outside. Trés jolie. The photo is from here.

In 1934 Victor Brauner had his first solo exhibition in Paris at the Galerie Pierre.

La Femme à l'ombrelle


Aristide Maillol, I'd never heard of him until I went to the Musee D'Orsay. What do you think of this painting he made? The colours don't come through on the internet at all. Standing in front of it, the colours shine so bright. Maillol made sculpture and paintings.
