Today I went with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skep and we saw artses. The Musee d'Orsay has sent a collection of work that has never previously left France - various post-impressionist works, apparently. They were pretty. However, despite not being computers or near-vision work, artses hurt my eyes quite a bit. Eyes tired now.
My new favourite thing ever is Moreau's Orpheus. The photo on the website does it NO JUSTICE AT ALL. The original is gorgeous, all bright and glowing with golds and greens. Possibly helped by its frame, which is huge and gold and shiny. Hmmm, yes, the frame really made a difference - the nga photo is a bit better, but lacks the lovely gold tones of the original.
We also discovered that I like both surrealist art and realist portraiture, but am rather so-so about all the spottydotty divisionists or whatever they are. And I like pictures of fog more than flowers.
baaaah eyes hurts. going away now.
