From Rodin to Warhol in Paris

French Sculptor RODIN, variation on the kiss in emerging from marble

My favourite art museum has to be Rodin’s.

The gardens are spectacular and the statues powerful.

 I’d say he was depressed with the human condition – man’s capacity for sin, suffering, thinking … but then there is philosophy with his masterpiece – The Thinker and …..the KISS.

Love, passion, the embrace – ahhhhhh!

From the sublime to the ridiculous – Rodin to The Pompadou Cetre for Contempory Art.

The Centre is a modern masterpiece of tubes and contemporary design. Inside is the obligatory white space and terrible installations. But then there was a Warhol and views to die for of Paris.

Paris is definitely a grand city with palaces, bridges, Arc de Triomphe Les Invalides … memorials to Napoleon and heroes of the past.
