Paris II
I didn’t have much time to research Paris so maybe that’s part of the reason I’m not appreciating it. I don’t even have a guide book. I guess all my resources and effort is going towards my Venice trip now. Amsterdam is more of a relax place than photographic destination for me. So back to Paris. Friday morning was a trip to the Musee d’Orsay with the group. We had our own guide, Joelle, who was the most amazing art guide I’ve ever had. She led us through her art history lesson as she pointed out certain paintings that she had a point to make about. She traced the history from realism to expressionism through the paintings so we could understand the more famous works upstairs. Her lecture and that tour was inspiring and more informative than any art theory lecture I’ve ever had at USC. I didn’t even like the fine arts that much before. I’ve always been more about applied art but she kept me extremely interested the whole time. After that museum tour I was starting to get more positive vibes about Paris. It still isn’t my favorite city or anything but I wasn’t as pessimistic about it. I think it has to do a lot with the fact that the geography of Paris is hard to grasp in my mind. I don’t really feel comfortable in a place until I understand its geography. I also came to the conclusion that Paris isn’t really a city that you photograph. It’s a city that must be painted to express the personality of the city.
We had lunch at this creperie and then we split up on our own ways. I went with a couple of people for a walk down the Champs Elysees to the Arc d’Triomphe. We stopped at this cafe and had a snack. I ate ice cream of three flavors. Really good French vanilla with so much vanilla it tasted alcoholic. The ice cream plate also had rum raisin and chocolate. I split off from the others after this and went to the Louvre. When I got there I found out that if I waited until 6:30 I could get in for free. So I went outside and photographed the glass pyramid at sunset and waited around for a couple of hours. The Louvre was nice. I finally got to see a lot of art that I’ve only seen in textbooks. From the Winged Victory to the Mona Lisa to David’s paintings. The Mona Lisa was larger than I expected because everybody always says its so small. There weren’t that many people because it was off hours. There were a lot of art students just sitting on the floors sketching. The David painting were much larger than I expected because textbook pictures are so small. The Oath of the Horatia was ceiling height and I was shocked when I turned around and saw it. I spent a good three and a half hours in there seeing most of the collection. I only wish I could have read the info plaques. It’s annoying how they don’t have translations on the plaques considering how many foreign visitors pay to keep the museum open. The French hate English but sometimes they take it a little too far. What’s the point of making visitors feel unwelcome or out of place just to show that this is a French place? I guess maybe this attitude of disregarding other cultures may spill over into racial relations as the riots ongoing in Paris are starting to show.
