Cassis is built like an amphitheatre by the sea between Cap Canaille and the rocky inlets of the Calanques. “A mineral gem in a green setting mounted on the blue water of the Mediterranean”. The ochre colour of the impressive cliffs of Cap Canaille, the highest in France (363 metres at Cap Canaille, 399 metres at the Grande Tête), contrast with the white of the mountains of the Calanques. These two listed natural sites count amongst the most beautiful on the Mediterranean Sea.
The light of Provence particularly inspired the Fauvist artists such as Derain ("Une pinède à Cassis-1907), Vlaminck, Matisse, Dufy and the pointillist Signac ("Bay of Cassis, Cap Canaille"-1889)…
The Mediterranean Museum of Art and Popular Traditions in Cassis, laid out in a former rectory from the early 18th century, houses a beautiful collection of works by 19th and 20th century Provençal painters: Ponson, Crémieux, Guindon, Seyssaud… all seduced by the light and the enchanting setting.

Et voici mon tableau, mélange d'aquarelle et de feutres. La propriétaire de la maison a complètement craqué dessus mais n'a pu avoir le tableau.
En effet, comme j'ai eu trois prix pour ce tableau (Prix du Jury, Prix du Public et Prix toutes techniques Peintre Confirmé), mon tableau est maintenant la propriété de la municipalité de Montaut, pour le plus grand bonheur du maire qui a décidé de l'accrocher dans son bureau et qui était ravi de l'obtenir.
C'est le troisième maire du Béarn à posséder un tableau de ma main, après la mairie d'Arzacq et celle de Vieilleségure. Ce monsieur m'a chaudement félicitée et la secrétaire de mairie, ravie, a emporté le tableau pour le faire encadrer.
Embêtée pour la propriétaire de la maison, je lui ai pris son adresse mail pour lui envoyer cette photo, en lui proposant de lui refaire le tableau, plus tard avec la même technique et avec le support photographique.
Affaire à suivre...
J'aurai peut-être qui sait cette nouvelle commande. La dame me dira si elle se décide.
Mais ce qui m'a touchée, c'est qu'elle m'a dit être ravie du résultat et qu'elle se sentait heureuse et honorée d'avoir désormais sa maison peinte et célèbre. Il y aura des articles dans les journaux locaux, dans le bulletin municipal. J'ai donc demandé à la secrétaire de mairie de m'envoyer les documents pour mon book. C'est toujours intéressant d'avoir ce genre de petit article.
Je suis rentrée avec un panier gourmand (Serge est ravi car il y a du salmis de palombe, du foie gras et une bonne bouteille de Jurançon), du matériel artistique et un livre d'art sur Paul Signac.
De quoi continuer de progresser et avancer.
Et bonus, Maïa et Serge sont ravis et fiers de ce triple prix. Ce qui me fait chaud au coeur.
Une journée bien remplie, de nouveaux contacts, et même si j'ai toujours du mal à être satisfaite de mon travail pictural, heureuse d'avoir séduit avec mon tableau, élus et habitants de Montaut.
Between January and June 1899,Pissarro painted fourteen views of the Tuileries from a third-floor flat at 204,rue de Rivoli.Six are from this vantage point looking southwest over the garden towards the Left Bank with the Grand Bassin nearly straight ahead.Across the Seine,the spires of Sainte-Clotilde and the Guilhem Dome does Invalides pierce the horizon line of mid rise buildings.
Nature plays a greater role in the Tuileries paintings than in his previous cityscapes,but even the natural elements play evidence of human control.In the foreground,the freshly manicured green grass and leafy trees,trimmed in the marquis style,indicate the onset of spring.Shadows cast to the west signal morning light on a clear day with puffy clouds scattered across the pale blue sky.Straight sandy pathways radiate with geometric position from the round central pool.Sculptures in stone pedestals,smaller boxed trees,and flowering bushes border the parterres,kept free of traffic by low-slung fences.The garden is populated
with promenades,many in pairs,including a woman with a baby carriage at the lower edge.Pissarro rendered the figures summarily with a few darker brush strokes distinguishing them from the light ground.
Across the composition,the loose handling of paint and blond tonality harken back to his earliest Impressionist style,following a period when he had experimented with the fastidious dotted brushwork and pure colors championed by the Neo Impressionists.Indeed,Signac registered his disappointment in Pissarro's take on the Tuileries when he saw the initial winter views,still unfinished,in February 1899:"His earlier works hang on the wall of the room,making it plain how much these new ones yield to them.Truly,in these dirty,cloudy tones we can no longer see what a wonderful colorist Pissarro was."Yet by spring,sunnier weather forecast Pissarro's use of a brighter palette.
Since the beginning of his career,Pissarro strived to depict his "sensations,"or personal perceptions of moment in time rendered in a fluid technique.The Tuileries provided a subject that was both timeless in its historic presence, and transitory,constantly revolving with the changes in light,atmosphere,and activity-the Met

"Immortalisé par Joseph Vernet, Corot et Signac, cet ancien port de pêche est gardé par DEUX TOURS MEDIEVALES. Aujourd'hui dédié aux navires de plaisance, ses abords sont quant à eux réservés aux piétons et aux cyclistes.
# La Tour Saint-Nicolas, haute de 42m et légèrement penchée, est une véritable forteresse. Edifiée au 14ème siècle, elle assurait la défense de la passe. Ses cinq angles sont renforcés par trois tourelles circulaires engagées, une tourelle rectangulaire et une tour carrée, plus haute, faisant office de donjon. En mai, des plongeurs de haut vol disputent le championnat du monde de cette discipline, se jetant des hauteurs de la tour.
# La Tour de la Chaîne doit son nom à la grosse chaîne encore visible au pied de la tour qui, durant la nuit, la joignait à sa soeur St-Nicolas pour fermer le port. Selon Rabelais, cette chaîne aurait servi à attacher Pantagruel dans son berceau. Bâtie au 14ème siècle mais découronnée au 17ème, la tour, utilisée comme poudrière, était jadis accolée à une tourelle qui fut démolie pour élargir la passe. Comme la Tour St-Nicolas, elle fut utilisée du 16 au 18ème comme lieu de détention des Huguenots, puis des marins étrangers." (Le Guide Vert Les Charentes")
La Albertina es un museo del centro de Viena, Austria. Alberga una de las más extensas colecciones gráficas del mundo con aproximadamente 65 000 dibujos y cerca de un millón de grabados, tanto antiguos como modernos. Sobresalen sus riquísimos fondos de Alberto Durero, de los cuales una selección se expuso en el Museo del Prado en 2005.
La institución debe su nombre a Alberto de Sajonia-Teschen (1738-1822), quien la fundó con su colección.
La Albertina se construyó en una de las últimas secciones que quedaban en pie de las murallas de Viena, el Bastión de Augusto. Originalmente estaba situado en ese lugar el Hofbauamt (Ministerio de Construcción), que había sido construido en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII. En 1745 el edificio fue remodelado por el director del Ministerio, Emanuel Teles Count Silva-Tarouca, para que fuera su palacio. El inmueble fue también conocido como Palais Taroucca.
El edificio fue más tarde ocupado por Alberto de Sajonia-Teschen, que lo utilizó como residencia y más tarde hizo traer su colección desde Bruselas, donde había ejercido como gobernador de los Países Bajos de los Habsburgo. Desafortunadamente, un tercio de la colección se perdió al naufragar el barco que la transportaba. El edificio fue ampliado con el nuevo propósito museal por Louis Montoyer.
La colección había sido empezada por el duque Alberto y el conde Giacomo Durazzo, el embajador austríaco en Venecia.[cita requerida] En 1776 el conde regaló 30 000 obras de arte al duque Alberto y su mujer Marie-Christine. Giacomo Durazzo —hermano de Marcello— dijo que «quería crear una colección para la posteridad que sirviese a propósitos más altos que el resto: la educación y el poder de la moral debe distinguir a esta colección» La colección fue enriquecida por los descendientes de Alberto.
En la década de 1820 el archiduque Carlos de Austria emprendió algunas modificaciones del edificio que afectaron principalmente a la decoración interior.
A principios de 1919 el edificio y la colección pasaron de los Habsburgo a la propiedad de la República de Austria. En 1920 la colección de grabados se unificó con la colección de la antigua biblioteca oficial de la corte (Hofbibliothek). Se le impuso el nombre de Albertina en 1921. En marzo de 1945 la Albertina fue gravemente dañada por los bombardeos. Fue totalmente remodelada en 1998 y está actualmente abierta.
El grueso de la colección lo conforman obras sobre papel: unos 65 000 dibujos (incluyendo también acuarelas) y cerca de un millón de grabados. También se custodian fotografías y planos de arquitectura.
El repertorio de dibujos incluye un núcleo sin parangón de Durero, con unas 120 piezas (Autorretrato a los 13 años, Gran mata de hierba, Liebre joven, vistas de Innsbruck...) así como ejemplos de Pisanello, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Leonardo da Vinci, Miguel Ángel, Rafael, El Bosco (El hombre árbol), Pieter Brueghel el Viejo, Cranach, Federico Barocci, Rubens, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Boucher, Fragonard, hasta el impresionismo y movimientos de finales del XIX y buena parte del XX (Renoir, Signac, Cézanne, Klimt, Egon Schiele).
El fondo de grabados es colosal, uno de los más extensos del mundo; arranca en el siglo XV e incluye ejemplos abundantes de Durero, Martin Schongauer, Lucas van Leyden, Marcantonio Raimondi, Francisco de Goya, hasta Pablo Picasso, pop art y autores vivos.
Debido a las exigencias de conservación de todas las obras sobre papel, que es un material muy sensible a la luz y los cambios de humedad, la Albertina solamente expone este tipo de piezas de manera temporal, y basa su exhibición permanente en la Colección Batliner.
Desde 2007, la Albertina alberga en préstamo unas 500 obras (mayormente pinturas) de los siglos XIX y XX, del Impresionismo hasta Alex Katz: la Colección Batliner, reunida desde la década de 1960 por el matrimonio del mismo apellido. Arranca con Claude Monet, Edgar Degas y Paul Cézanne, prosigue con los fovistas Henri Matisse y André Derain, y continúa con Kandinsky, los expresionistas alemanes, la vanguardia rusa y el surrealismo (Max Ernst, René Magritte, Joan Miró).
Mención aparte merece Pablo Picasso, con una decena de pinturas y abundantes dibujos y cerámicas en ejemplares únicos; en total el repertorio picassiano alcanza las cuarenta obras.
El arte más reciente queda representado por Alberto Giacometti, Francis Bacon, Gerhard Richter, Georg Baselitz...
Los almacenes de este museo cuentan con sofisticados sistemas de climatización y de seguridad. Las delicadas obras sobre papel se guardan ordenadas en kilómetros de estanterías a las que no acceden los visitantes. Mediante un sistema informático, un brazo o robot localiza y trae la caja que contiene la obra solicitada. Este sistema permite aprovechar al máximo el espacio, al reducir al mínimo los pasillos; pero en junio de 2009, una fuga de agua cubrió el suelo en varios centímetros y colapsó el sistema informático, obligando a un apresurado desalojo de miles de obras que afortunadamente se solventó sin daños.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertina
The Albertina is a museum in the Innere Stadt (First District) of Vienna, Austria. It houses one of the largest and most important print rooms in the world with approximately 65,000 drawings and approximately 1 million old master prints, as well as more modern graphic works, photographs and architectural drawings. Apart from the graphics collection the museum has recently acquired on permanent loan two significant collections of Impressionist and early 20th-century art, some of which will be on permanent display. The museum also houses temporary exhibitions.
The Albertina was erected on one of the last remaining sections of the fortifications of Vienna, the Augustinian Bastion. Originally, the Hofbauamt (Court Construction Office), which had been built in the second half of the 17th century, stood in that location. In 1744 it was refurbished by the director of the Hofbauamt, Emanuel Teles Count Silva-Tarouca, to become his palace; it was therefore also known as Palais Taroucca. The building was later taken over by Duke Albert of Saxen-Teschen who used it as his residence. Albert later brought his graphics collection there from Brussels, where he had acted as the governor of the Habsburg Netherlands. He had the building extended by Louis Montoyer. Since then, the palace has immediately bordered the Hofburg. The collection was expanded by Albert's successors. When his grandson Archduke Albrecht, Duke of Teschen lived there until his death in 1895 it was called the Palais Erzherzog Albrecht.
The collection was created by Duke Albert with the Genoese count Giacomo Durazzo, the Austrian ambassador in Venice. In 1776 the count presented nearly 1,000 pieces of art to the duke and his wife Maria Christina (Maria Theresa's daughter). Count Durazzo, who was the brother of Marcello Durazzo, the Doge of Genoa – "wanted to create a collection for posterity that served higher purposes than all others: education and the power of morality should distinguish his collection...." In the 1820s Archduke Charles, Duke Albert and Maria Christina's foster son, initiated further modifications to the building by Joseph Kornhäusel, which affected mostly its interior decoration. After Archduke Charles, his son Archduke Albert]] then Albrecht's nephew Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen lived in the building.
In early 1919, ownership of both the building and the collection passed from the Habsburgs to the newly founded Republic of Austria. In 1920 the collection of prints and drawings was united with the collection of the former imperial court library. The name Albertina was established in 1921.
In March 1945, the Albertina was heavily damaged by Allied bomb attacks. The building was rebuilt in the years after the war and was completely refurbished and modernized from 1998 to 2003. Modifications of the exterior entrance sequence, including a distinctive roof by Hans Hollein were completed in 2008, when the graphics collection finally reopened. In 2018, the Albertina acquired the Essl Collection of 1,323 contemporary artworks, including pieces by Alex Katz, Cindy Sherman, Georg Baselitz, Hermann Nitsch, and Maria Lassnig.
From March 2020 will begin its existence a new Albertina Modern Museum. The collection of Albertina modern encompasses over 60,000 works by 5,000 artists.

Saint Trop ist ein kleiner Hafenort mit 4000 Einwohnern und 5.000.000 Touristen im Jahr, im französischen Département Var in der Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
Die Gemeinde gehört zum Kanton Sainte-Maxime im Arrondissement Draguignan.
Saint-Tropez befindet sich an der Côte d’Azur, am östlichen Fuß des Massif des Maures, am Nordufer einer Halbinsel. Das damalige Fischerdorf zog schon gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zahlreiche Künstler wie
Paul Signac, Henri Matisse und Pierre Bonnard an,
deren Werke heute in dem neben dem Hafen gelegenen Musée de l’Annonciade ausgestellt sind.
Der Aufschwung Saint-Tropez’ begann in den 1950er Jahren, als sich der Ort zu einem Treffpunkt von Künstlern und der High Society entwickelte.
Saint-Tropez ist berühmt für seinen großen Yachthafen und die Baie de Pampelonne, den größten Sandstrand der Côte d’Azur.
Viele prominente Europäer verbringen ihren Urlaub in Saint-Tropez, unter anderem in den Strandclubs Tahiti Plage, Club 55, Nikki Beach, Aqua Club, Bagatelle Beach und vielen weiteren.
Den vielen reichen Urlaubern stehen in Saint-Tropez zahlreiche teure Restaurants und Boutiquen zur Verfügung.
Die unvermeidbare Küstenstraße in der Region zwischen Sainte Maxime und der Halbinsel ist ein extremer Staubereich, der einem, egal zu welcher Tageszeit, viel Geduld abverlangt.
Da helfen auch der Rolls Royce oder das Bentley Cabrio nicht viel. Es empfiehlt sich die Yacht oder den Helicopter zu nehmen. Es gibt auch eine Touristenbootverbindung von Sainte Maxime nach Saint Tropez im 20-Minuten-Takt.
Die Ortschaft wird von einer 1592 entstandenen Zitadelle mit Ausblick auf die Stadt überragt.
In Deutschland ist Saint-Tropez vor allem durch Gunter Sachs und Brigitte Bardot sowie durch die Gendarmerie-Filme mit Louis de Funès bekannt geworden.
Saint-Tropez, benannt nach dem Heiligen Torpes, einem frühchristlichen Märtyrer, welcher im 1. Jahrhundert enthauptet wurde, war bis ins 20. Jahrhundert nur ein einfaches Fischerdörfchen.
Die strategisch günstige Lage interessierte seit dem 8. Jahrhundert Herrscher und Machthaber ... erzählte meine Freundin Wiki ...
Alle bisher gesehenen Dokumentationen über Saint Tropez haben mir nicht die Schönheit und den eigentlichen Wert und Charakter dieses Ortes vermitteln können, der zudem auf einer traumhaften Halbinsel liegt, mit schöner Landschaft und wunderbaren Bergdörfern. Mittags sind die, bis zu 30.000.000 teuren, Yachten, zum großen Teil, ausgefahren. Ich kann einen Besuch nur empfehlen ...

Cette exposition, très érudite, est le premier volet d'un hommage à Félix Fénéon (1861-1944), critique d'art visionnaire, éditeur, marchand d'art, ami de Seurat et de Signac, qui a été l'un des premiers collectionneurs d'art extra-occidental, notamment "d'art nègre" comme on l'appelait à l'époque ou plus généralement d'arts lointains.

Elle sera suivie d'une exposition complémentaire au musée de l'Orangerie dès le 16/10/2019 intitulée "Félix Fénéon. Les temps nouveaux, de Seurat à Matisse", puis d'une exposition regroupant les deux volets au MoMA à New-York.

Le musée Pissarro est situé dans une maison bourgeoise de la fin du XIXe siècle qui bénéficie de l’emplacement de l’ancien château médiéval de la ville, détruit avant la Révolution. Le parc de cette demeure est formé par un plateau rocheux entouré de remparts qui domine l’Oise et permet de découvrir au Nord-Est, une vue idéale sur la vallée de l’Oise en direction d’Auvers-sur-Oise et au Sud, de dominer la vieille ville construite en amphithéâtre avec ses églises et son Carmel.
Le musée Camille Pissarro s’appuie sur les collections de peintures et de dessins XIXe du musée principal, le Musée Tavet-Delacour. D’importants efforts consentis par la Ville ont permis de le doter depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années d’une centaine d’eaux-fortes et dessins de Camille Pissarro ainsi que d’une rare peinture de 1864. Il bénéficie de dépôts d’autres institutions et notamment d’une peinture de Camille Pissarro du musée d’Orsay. Il est par ailleurs le siège des archives de l’association des Amis de Camille Pissarro qui ont notamment contribué à l’édition de l’importante correspondance de l’artiste.
Si la vocation du musée est de rendre hommage au maître de l’impressionnisme, la collection n’est pas monographique. Elle est naturellement élargie aux œuvres des artistes qui travaillèrent dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle entre Pontoise et l’Isle-Adam : Édouard Béliard, Émilio Boggio, Charles-François Daubigny, Honoré Daumier, Armand Guillaumin, Louis Hayet, Octave Linet, Ludovic Piette, Paul Signac, William Thornley mais aussi à Luis Jimenez y Aranda et Émilio Sanchez-Perrier, deux peintres de l’école de Séville qui séjournèrent ou vécurent à Pontoise.
Ce spectacle est proposé aux Carrières des Lumières et est suivi d'une mise en scène d'oeuvres de Monet.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Rousseau :
Henri Rousseau, aussi appelé « Le Douanier Rousseau », né le 21 mai 1844 à Laval (Mayenne), mort le 2 septembre 1910 à Paris, est un peintre français, considéré comme un représentant majeur de l'art naïf.
Issu d'une famille modeste, il étudie le droit avant de partir à Paris et travailler à l'octroi où il occupe un poste de commis de deuxième classe, dans le cadre duquel il contrôle les entrées de boissons alcoolisées à Paris. Cette position lui vaudra son surnom de « Douanier ».
Il apprend lui-même la peinture et produit un grand nombre de toiles. Elles représentent souvent des paysages de jungle. Lui n'a pourtant jamais quitté la France, son inspiration provient surtout de livres illustrés, de jardins botaniques, et de rencontres avec des soldats ayant participé à l'intervention française au Mexique.
Ses toiles montrent une technique élaborée, mais leur aspect enfantin lui vaut beaucoup de moqueries. Habitué du Salon des indépendants, il commence à recevoir des critiques positives à partir de 1891 et rencontre quelques autres artistes à la fin de sa vie, comme Marie Laurencin, Robert Delaunay, Paul Signac, Guillaume Apollinaire, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Alexandre Cabanel, Edgar Degas, William Bouguereau, Paul Gauguin, Alfred Jarry, Toulouse-Lautrec et Pablo Picasso. Son travail est aujourd'hui considéré comme crucial pour l'art naïf et il a influencé de nombreux artistes, notamment des surréalistes.
Between 1882 and 1890, five artists—Vincent van Gogh, along with Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard, and Charles Angrand—flocked to villages on the fringes of Paris. Unlike the earlier Impressionists, who in the previous decade had spent significant time in suburban locations further from the city, this next generation of ambitious artists preferred the northwestern suburbs around Asnières. This area along the Seine River had long been a popular spot for recreation and relaxation but was becoming increasingly populated with coal, gas, and manufacturing facilities in the last decades of the 19th century. And while its industrial development was an unappealing aspect to many, these artists found in the changing physical and social landscape a fresh and rich source of creativity..

Premier immeuble de rapport à loyer modéré édifié dans ce style à Paris, il est entièrement conçu et supervisé entre 1895 et 1898 par Hector Guimard (1867-1942) qui, s'inspirant des principes rationalistes d'Eugène Viollet-le-Duc comme des innovations esthétiques de Victor Horta, en retire une notoriété immédiate.

The Vincent van Gogh paintings labeled "Asnières" seem to represent a very good time in his life. In this 1877 painting Couples in the Park d'Argenson where the influence of both impressionism and pointillism shine through in the brightest light, when I first saw it I said "Paris make everyone happy."
When I looked up where this park is I was so pleased to read it is the same area where Georges Seurat painted many of his most famous works. In fact Bathers at Asnières was painted just three years before Couples in the Park d'Argenson and A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte was completed just one year prior to Van Gogh's park scene. All three painted within walking distance of each other.
History claims that during 1886 Van Gogh "was introduced to Impressionist artists and their works, such as Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac." Those connections continued during his Paris stay. Instead of the often dramatized relationship between Van Gogh and Cézanne, I look at this painting and envision Vincent van Gogh and Georges Seurat, with their easels close by, discussing art technique in Paris parks and along the banks of the Seine. It just brightens my day.
PADDY: "So this is a painting called 'Boulevard Poissonnière in the Rain' by the famous French artist Jean Béraud."
SCOUT: "Oh yes, I can see it's raining, Paddy. The ladies and the gentleman on the street have their brollies up. Oh! Hurry home horsies and get dry! The poor horsies don't have umbrellas."
PADDY: "Jean Béraud was a famous Impressionist painter who incorporated fine details along with social realism."
SCOUT: "At least because it's raining, there are no window lickers at the shop windows."
PADDY: "Scout, like I said before, in French, window shopping is called ‘lèche vitrine’ which translates to English literally as ‘window licking’. However, Parisians don't actually lick the windows when they are window shopping."
SCOUT: "That is just as well, Paddy, because the windows would be dirty! Yucky!" *Sticks out little pink bear tongue.*
PADDY: "Oh! Hullo everyone! Do you know what? Monday the 15th of April is World Art Day. World Art Day is an international celebration of the fine arts which was declared by the International Association of Art in order to promote awareness of creative activity worldwide. We are celebrating this day by looking at this lovely painting, 'Boulevard Poissonnière in the Rain' painted by the famous French Impressionist artist Jean Béraud around 1880 which is on display as part of the Bendigo Art Gallery's exhibition ‘Paris: Impressions of Life 1880 – 1925’."
SCOUT: “Paddy? Paddy!"
PADDY: "Yes Scout?"
SCOUT: "Since today is World Art Day, I have a question, Paddy.”
PADDY: “And what is that, Scout?”
SCOUT: “Well, if this painting was done in Paris in the very olden days, how come he painted it in colour when the world was black and white? Wasn’t the world black and white there too, or was that only in England where you and Daddy lived, Paddy?”
PADDY: “Scout, I keep telling you, Scout. The world wasn't black and white then, only the telly, and there were no tellies in 1880s France."
SCOUT: "Then why are all the photos in this exhibition black and white, Paddy? Tell me that?"
PADDY: "It's because they only had black and white film then, Scout. Colour film wasn't invented until the 1930s."
SCOUT: "Well, I'll just have to take your word for that, Paddy. Unlike you, I am young and beautiful, being five years old, whereas you and Daddy are ancient, from the days when the world was black and white. I think you might be fibbing, Paddy." *Giggles.*
PADDY: *Sighs.* "Happy World Art Day everyone and everybear!"
This weekend just gone, Paddy, Scout and I went to the Bendigo Art Gallery to view the ‘Paris: Impressions of Life 1880 – 1925’ exhibition. Exclusive to Bendigo Art Gallery, the ‘Paris: Impressions of Life 1880–1925’ exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the lively and picturesque streets of historic Paris. Tour seven themed pathways and discover artisan street signs, historic couture, decorative arts, and everyday ephemera alongside paintings by artists including Jean Béraud, the pre-eminent painter of Parisian life in the Belle Époque, Maurice Utrillo and Paul Signac, pioneer of the artistic technique of pointillism, as well as vibrant graphic prints by Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries.
This painting, 'Boulevard Poissonnière in the Rain' was painted by the famous French Impressionist artist Jean Béraud around 1880. Jean Béraud was a French painter renowned for his numerous paintings depicting the life of Paris, and the nightlife of Paris society. Pictures of the Champs Elysees, cafés, Montmartre and the banks of the Seine are precisely detailed illustrations of everyday Parisian life during the Belle Époque.
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.

Between 1882 and 1890, five artists—Vincent van Gogh, along with Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard, and Charles Angrand—flocked to villages on the fringes of Paris. Unlike the earlier Impressionists, who in the previous decade had spent significant time in suburban locations further from the city, this next generation of ambitious artists preferred the northwestern suburbs around Asnières. This area along the Seine River had long been a popular spot for recreation and relaxation but was becoming increasingly populated with coal, gas, and manufacturing facilities in the last decades of the 19th century. And while its industrial development was an unappealing aspect to many, these artists found in the changing physical and social landscape a fresh and rich source of creativity..
