From this autumn’s visit to Paris: Gustave Moreau’s atelier, Antoine Bourdelle’s museum (the sculpture of a woman represents Penelope) and a photo of Goya’s “Volaverunt” (there was an interesting exhibition in the Petit Palais). I couldn’t resist though I really dislike taking photos of paintings etc.

I was in Van Gogh museum today. Some of my favourite works are on tour with the exhibition Van Gogh in Auvers which is now in Musée d’Orsay in Paris so will have to practice a bit of patience to see them again.
Gave me time to have a look with fresh eyes at The Sower, a small painting that he did late in his life too. My mother had a reproduction in her little study. I never liked it. And always walked straight past it in the museum. This time it felt different. To see it certainly was my best experience today, on this dark and heavy day for me.

Visited Stedelijk Museum today, the big Amsterdam museum for contemporary art. Saw the exhibit of Nan Goldin’s work. Didn’t know her and was blown away. I only saw half of the works and will be back next week to see the rest. It’s 7 different slide shows/movies with music depicting her life, her friends. It deals with life, with sex, with gender, with addiction, with recovery, with relationships, with abuse and domestic violence. And more. Half was all I could take. Her biggest work, The ballad of sexual dependence, touched me especially. This one picture from it I put under a tab because it comes with a TW for abuse.

After my second visit this morning the Nan Golding exhibit, some expansion and correction on my previous answer: There’s six of her works on display, consisting of slide shows and movie fragments, mostly of her own pictures but not all, each with their own music score and spoken word. All of these works progress and change through time, with both the images and music being edited through the years. Today I was most touched by Sisters, Saints and Sibyls (2004–2022), about her sister’s suicide, her family, and her own mental health problems and more. The pic is Nan with her older sister Barbera who died in 1965.

This is actually a very famous Swedish artist.
And yet I didn’t know that he had made a painting about a solar eclipse.
Unfortunately yesterday’s eclipse wasn’t really visible for us here.
