RUBENS, POUSSIN AND 17TH CENTURY ARTISTS AT MUSÉE JACQUEMART-ANDRÉ
On my way to the center of Paris, I saw the Musée Jacquemart-André teasing a really tempting exhibition showcasing Rubens, Poussin and other masters from their century. This exhibition gathers around sixty paintings, so it’s rather small, from both private and public collections across Europe. It certainly offers a unique view of two great artistic movements of the 17th century: Flemish Baroque painting, of which Rubens is the best reprentative, and the French Classical school led by Nicolas Poussin and highlights the influence they had on each other. I have the firm intention to pay a visit soon so if someone has any feedback, I’d be glad to read some in the comments!
THE SELBY X PHARRELL WILLIAMS
When the prestigious photographer Todd Selby visits Pharrell’s crazy beach house in Miami, the result is just bluffing. Music producer, entrepreneur, fashion guru, artist, furniture designer etc already make a great resume and judging on his house’s interior, I completely trust this man. In fact, I love him. His style, music, well, everything he touches and creates makes me happy. I urge you to take a look at the photos. Now I feel like listening all his albums again… “Can I have it like that ? You got it like that…” Read the rest of this entry »
VISUAL THRILLER: ENTHUSIASM DOCUMENTED
A few weeks ago, I spent some time on Tumblr checking hundreds of flourishing blogs, more or less fashion-oriented, but all really dynamic and… enthusiastic. One in particular caught my attention, but I didn’t saved the page in my favourites, which I regreted quite quickly because I couldn’t remember the exact name of the blog. So I had no choice but spend a few hours again to find the site and eventually, I found it : http://enthusiasmdocumented.tumblr.com. You’ll see by yourself that the choice of pictures is amazing and very (very) rich. Definitely a blog to check. I don’t even know why I am buying magazines with all these great blogs around the web!
