I agree with you about Paris. I have been twice and absolutly LOVE going to the museums. Especially the d'Orsay and the Marmottan (which is like the Frick in NYC). They are my favorites because I love the impressionist. The Marmottan has lots of Monet's and wonderful Berthe Morrisot's. I also enjoy going to the Met when in NYC to sit in the American wing and just study the Sargents, Hassams, Whistler, and many others. I go to my own museums in Cincinnati to see the Twatchman and Duveneck's. Your list of favorite artist is very similar to mine. I will look up those that I am not familiar with. Thanks for a wonderful site to visit and the art history lessons. I am tickled to have found your blog. I agree with you about Paris. I have been twice and absolutly LOVE going to the museums.

When I saw it, notable portraits for me included four by Singer Sergent - the Boit girls, the infamous Madame X portrait, his the portrait of Monet painting in the woods and a wonderful one od Carolus Duras. Also do not miss the 8 out of 10 paintings in the At Home in Paris section - all by that equally excellent painter Mary Cassatt. I think some of the paintings may be different. I'm not sure I saw all the ones displayed in the online exhibition and it seems to be missing Whistler's Mother, which we had in the exhibition in London.

I have to agree about Paris. We lived in France for eighteen months in 1955-56 and visited Paris about once a month. I only wish I had known more about art at the time. Sigh!

(I've never taken art, so I'm ignorant.) I'm grateful for your blog, and I'm bookmarking you in my reference file for Art info. Thank you.
