It was time
for another art post and I sought inspiration from an art book I bought many
years ago – the book was published in 1989.
It is still probably the most expensive book I have ever bought. It has almost 700 A4 pages all with full
colour plates dealing with the paintings to be found in that fabulous Paris
gallery, the Musee
D'Orsay.
So, I am
not going to overwhelm you with lots of different paintings – I'm just going to
choose one at a time.
So, where
to start? I just opened the book at
random to see what I'd find. The
painting for this post is Renoir's Seated Young Girl from 1909.
Renoir was
about 68 when he painted this. To me the
girl is not really at ease. Your eye is
caught by her shimmering blouse and rosy cheeks.
Do you like
this painting too?
I really like this picture. Not fussy and the girl is so pretty and natural. Her pose does not bother me in the least.
