Another fantastic essay, Giselle. 💕 i’m a fan of some of these and some of them are dirty to me. I love seeing works that are not European. It really does show that is universal not just restricted to a the European continent.

The spider is fantastic!🕷️

Thank you for reading as always, Sheila 🫶

Indeed, it was great to include non European artists as we tend to only think about Post-Impressionism as mainly Europe based. I agree the Spider is amazing!!

This sounds like a wonderful experience✨👀❤️‍🔥 Thank you so much for sharing it! I sincerely miss d’Orsay; it is indeed my most favorite museum of all. To see a collection like this modernly curated and hosted in the new Louvre of Abu Dhabi is a testament to how art will continue transform lives around the world.

There are so many essays within this essay! Topics to explore. What a pleasure to read, your ability to put the progression in succinct paragraphs is certain to lead the reader on many adventures.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it’s a pleasure to have you among my readers 🫶

It was a wonderful afternoon. You’re completely right, art matters and countries are willing to make the effort to offer great cultural experience to their residents and visitors.

Yes, I touched so many subjects within this post and I could have elaborated a lot further but I’m conscious that having a reading time of 5-10min is what people enjoy most and that also gives me the opportunity for other essays in the future.
