The de Young museum is holding a special exhibit featuring Post-Impressionist masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay, and of course I had to go. Though not a huge fan of (romantic) Impressionists, I do love their later phase with vivid colors, thick applications of paint in bold brush strokes, and fusing realism with geometric forms; in other words, I love van Gogh. Here’s “Starry Night Over the Rhone,” a less dramatic piece compared to “The Starry Night” at the NY MoMA, but I think this piece should be appreciated in its own — stars twinkling one peaceful evening — an impression in one’s mind that photos cannot capture:
I’m glad my fiance enjoys and appreciates art. I can drag him with me to any gallery and he’d be happy. Maybe because he’s with me. ;)
Yaaay, the exhibit is open! Can’t wait to see it myself. I’m glad you two had fun. :)
Yeahh! The exhibit was larger than I had expected and and.. it was amazing! :D
