Remember this fab view l'avenue de l'Opera from Tuesday's Paris Greys..?
Look at this version by Impressionist Pissarro (1898) Not really all that much has changed aside from a few cars and whatnot...
Paris will always be a visual feast for artists and anyone else with eyes in their head...
The long avenues of repeated, orderly patterns cry out for the paintbrush....
At night the shiny streets and sparkly lights - just stupendous!
Gustave Caillbotte shows housepainters doing what they do everyday, but it's in Paris!
Back to the wonderful Casas-Rodríguez Collection of Paris postcards, of old Montmartre...
I never was a big fan of Paris painter, Utrillo until I saw these two together...
Another postcard from Life in the streets...
Every view a painting...
Matisse's view out his Paris window of Notre Dame...
And Caillbotte's view...
And my view in New York this morning...So I hope you'll understand when you ask if we can meet up for a cup of tea in Paris and I say I'm too busy running around taking it all in and just daydreaming...
BONJOUR PARIS DAYDREAMS!
