#musee de l'Orangerie

[copperbadge]

I am a mainly self-taught appreciator of art; I was taken to art museums all the time as a kid and I've had art history courses, but a lot of what I've learned has just been research or like...enthusiasm. So I had no idea that Monet (who I am it must be said not a huge fan of) had done two huge oval galleries in the Musee de l'Orangerie, intended as meditation spaces; they ask you be silent in them, but when you cram like 30 people into a room and some of them are married, silence isn't really silence. Still, it's some of the best work of his I've seen, and I did spend some significant time attempting to cram some serenity into my head.

Describing the personality and history of a comics character is a lot like asking a person to give you a piece of art of the Tuileries du Jardin.

It's a famous garden. It's been the setting of movies and paintings. People can picture it in their heads. But if you asked people to produce a piece of art about it, you'd get very different results.

For a lot of people, what they create will be fundamentally tied down to their first visit and inspiration. What was the first thing they saw. What do they remember. Plants that are now dead, still in full bloom. Early spring blooms they saw, interpreted into full flower.

You can be standing side by side with a friend as you make your art, but they will still look different, even if they're created at the same time.

You can look at pieces made in very different seasons. Some of them will revolve around a view of winter and that setting. Some will visit during winter and create an interpretation of summer, which doesn't necessarily track with what it actually looks like in summer.

Some people will be looking out over the Seine. Some will be looking up at the Louvre. Some people will be caught on the detailing of a single statue in the gardens. Some people will be creating period pieces.

They don't have the same starting conditions, and they're emotionally attached to their first view, which shapes how they perceive the Tuileries, even after they've had wider experiences, and visited again and again.

Some people's interpretations of the gardens are hanging in the Louvre right beside the gardens, and that might imply that they have more worth or are more famous than other interpretations. But they're still not the gardens (which are right outside the door, you can go and look at them yourself and create).

Some people are sitting there copying these famous interpretations, because they see them as having more 'worth' than others, or they want to learn from the techniques that this other artist brought to their piece, or they want their own copy to take home.

Some people have walked through these gardens simply to visit the Musee de l'Orangerie and are busy making a piece of art based on Monet's Water Lilies rather than the actual gardens themselves.

And some tourists, who have visited, seen the gardens, found it wasn't what they anticipated in their heads from years of build up and other people's art, go to have hot chocolate at Angelina instead (because they're told they'll enjoy that) and create their piece from the inspirations in their head rather than what they actually saw.

And sometimes all a person has seen of it is a different garden used in a movie where the production didn't bother paying to film in Paris and used a stand in elsewhere.

There are trends! But everyone is starting from a different position, visiting on different days, standing in different places, and focusing on different things. Some aren't even looking at what's present. But in their mind, they are all filling the assignment and making art about the Tuileries du Jardin.

After visiting the Louvre and Musée de l'Orangerie (see previous posts), I was able to round off my day's tour of Parisian galleries by visiting the Musée d'Orsay thanks to it being opening late, until 9:45pm, on Thursday evenings. Housed in a former Beaux-Arts train station built between 1898 and 1900, the Musée d'Orsay is an architectural masterpiece. Most importantly, it boasts a magnificent selection of paintings by my favourite artist, Monet. I was ecstatic beyond belief to get to see, for the first time ever, my second-favourite Monet - after his 'Water Lily Pond' - which is 'The Poppy Fields near Argenteuil'. (Contrary to what some visitors to my homes over the last 25 years have believed, the one I have on my wall is a £50 print, not the original at Musée d'Orsay which I reckon would be a bargain at even £500 million.) After having taken a thousand photos through the day at the three art galleries, I had 0% battery left on my phone and was relieved I managed to get someone to take a few pictures of me next to 'The Poppy Fields' before my phone died seconds later! See the world premiere of those 'The Monet Shot' (2023) pictures among the videos and photos below. . . . #musée #museedorsay #muséedorsay #dorsay #parisienne #orsay #parisvibes #musee #d'orsay #dorsay #paris #monetpoppyfields #museeorsay #francemuseum #photography #monetpoppy #museedorsay #orsaygallery #poppyart #museeparis #dorsaygallery #peinture #sculpture #wanderlust #monetphoto #monetpainting #parisjetaime #poppyfieldspainting (at Musée d'Orsay) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2VKyKNajt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have three and want many more. a tattoo of a drawing I did of the chair in my grandpa's studio on my wrist, an ambiguous flower and two hands clasped by it on my upper arm, and then a big warped text piece wrapped around my entire right thigh reading the sweeteness of you carrying yesterdays feelings to tomorrow beyond what i knew before

Favorite place you've travelled?

Paris, because I took myself there for three weeks as I was breaking up with a terrible ex, amid a complete collapse of everything, and it was the first time I left the country, first time in my entire life I wasn't scraping by, and I did it alone, on my own, and just read and walked the entire time. I became friends with the local orange seller by the apartment I stayed, got asked out at the Louvre by a chef from Argentina while I drew an old man who was drawing a painting who I later spoke to in broken French (and he clasped my hand and cheered me on), made a friend at a bookstore who was writing her masters thesis on the same author I wrote my undergrad thesis on and we ended up having lunch and she gave me some of her old books, and also started talking with another solo traveler from South Korea who's a brilliant artist and musician at Musée de l'Orangerie and we wandered around and then met up for lunch the next day and are still in touch.

Camilla Hect, beloved.

"Paris was delightful. Usually is," Michaelis agreed. "A nice change of scenery."

"Eiffel Tower still standing?" Jerry asked.

"I didn't inspect it personally, but it seems fine," Michaelis replied.

Believe it or not, I've been so intent on getting wherever I'm going that this morning I looked up and saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time. It certainly does seem fine!

Tom Everhart: A Master of Artistic Fusion at Aspen’s Royal Street Fine Art Gallery

Nestled within the scenic beauty of Aspen, Royal Street Fine Art gallery showcases the remarkable work of Tom Everhart. It stands as a testament to the powerful connection between fine art and the world of cartooning. Tom Everhart’s unique artistic style has captured the hearts of art lovers worldwide, blending vibrant colors, expressive lines, and beloved characters to create an unparalleled visual experience. For art collectors, enthusiasts, and tourists visiting Aspen, a closer look at Everhart’s work reveals a fascinating journey of creativity, collaboration, and a lifelong dedication to honoring the legacy of Charles M. Schulz.

Early Life and Artistic Education

Tom Everhart was born on May 21, 1952, in Washington, D.C. His journey into the world of art began with formal education at some of the most prestigious institutions. In 1970, he started his undergraduate studies at the Yale University of Art and Architecture. Here, Everhart began to develop his eye for form, color, and the interplay of light and shadow that would later define his distinctive style. Two years later, he continued his artistic exploration in an independent study program at St. Mary’s College under the tutelage of Earl Hoffman. This early phase of his career allowed him to experiment with traditional art forms, although he was yet to discover the niche that would eventually make him famous.

In 1974, Everhart returned to Yale to complete his graduate work, which he finished in 1976. His education didn’t stop there. A year of post-graduate study at the Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris provided Everhart with exposure to a new world of artistic inspiration. However, it was not until a fateful encounter in 1980 that Everhart’s path as an artist would truly crystallize.

The Impact of Charles M. Schulz

In 1980, Everhart was introduced to Charles M. Schulz, the creator of the beloved Peanuts comic strip. The introduction came about somewhat serendipitously when Everhart was tasked with a freelance project that required him to present Peanuts renderings to Schulz’s studios. Despite his lack of formal education in cartooning, Everhart’s approach to the task was nothing short of extraordinary. Treating the comic strips as he would any other large-scale painting project, he enlarged the cartoonist’s lines on a massive 25-foot wall, transforming Schulz’s playful characters into vibrant, painterly brushstrokes.

The connection between Schulz and Everhart was immediate. Schulz was impressed by Everhart’s ability to reproduce his cartoon lines with precision and artistry, and the two developed a close friendship and collaborative relationship that would last for decades. Everhart’s obsession with Schulz’s line art grew, and he became the only artist ever authorized to create fine art using Schulz’s Peanuts characters.

The Evolution of Everhart’s Peanuts-Inspired Art

The turning point in Everhart’s artistic journey came in 1988 when he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon and liver cancer. During his time at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Everhart found solace and inspiration in the stack of Peanuts comic strips sent to him by Schulz. As he lay in his hospital bed, the light streaming through the window seemed to project the characters onto the walls, forming a new vision for his art. Everhart decided to dedicate his life to creating fine art inspired by Schulz’s characters.

The results were nothing short of extraordinary. Everhart’s first major exhibition of Peanuts-inspired paintings took place in 1990 at the Louvre in Paris, a significant achievement for any artist. This was followed by exhibitions at prestigious venues such as the L.A. County Museum of Natural History, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Suntory Museum of Art in Tokyo. Everhart’s art traveled the world, from New York to Milan, Minneapolis to Rome, captivating audiences with his bold interpretations of Schulz’s beloved characters.

A Lifelong Legacy of Art and Collaboration

In 1991, Schulz and United Media drafted a legal agreement that granted Everhart the lifetime right to use Peanuts characters in his artwork. This unique partnership between Schulz, a cartoonist, and Everhart, a fine artist, represents a rare blend of two worlds—comic strips and high art—united by a shared love for creative expression. Everhart’s works are not mere reproductions of Schulz’s drawings; they are colorful, large-scale, dynamic paintings that burst with energy and emotion.

Throughout his career, Everhart produced an extensive body of lithographs, including series such as *Pigpen’s Dirtballs* and *To Every Dog There Is a Season*. He has also published several books featuring his work, such as *Snoopy, Not Your Average Dog*, which was released in 1997. His lithographic work remains a crucial aspect of his portfolio, with over seventy-four lithographs created in collaboration with S2art editions over a ten-year period.

Expanding Horizons: French Polynesia and Beyond

The year 2000 marked a bittersweet moment in Everhart’s life. With the passing of Charles Schulz, Everhart was left with a profound sense of loss, but also a renewed dedication to honoring his friend’s legacy through art. Around the same time, Everhart discovered the beauty of French Polynesia, a place that would have a profound influence on his work.

The vibrant colors of the islands, the lush landscapes, and the serene beauty of the ocean all found their way into Everhart’s paintings. His color palette became more luminous, and his compositions took on a dreamlike quality. French Polynesia offered Everhart a new perspective on his work, allowing him to push the boundaries of his Schulz-inspired art while infusing it with his own unique vision.

A Lasting Impact on the Art World

Tom Everhart’s art stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, friendship, and artistic innovation. His ability to transform Schulz’s playful lines into bold, expressive paintings has cemented his place as a master of fine art. Today, his works can be found in private collections and prestigious galleries worldwide, including Aspen’s Royal Street Fine Art gallery, where his creations continue to inspire and captivate visitors.

Everhart’s dedication to Schulz’s legacy is not only evident in his art but also in the many lectures and public appearances he gives around the world. He has made it his mission to share the story of his collaboration with Schulz and to educate others about the importance of line, color, and the emotional depth that can be found in even the simplest of forms.

Tom Everhart’s art is a visual celebration of life, friendship, and the boundless possibilities of creative expression. For anyone visiting the Royal Street Fine Art gallery, his works offer a vibrant and uplifting experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional fine art. Through his unique fusion of cartooning and painting, Everhart has created a lasting legacy that continues to bring joy and inspiration to art lovers around the world. As Schulz once said, “Happiness is a warm puppy”—and in Everhart’s hands, that happiness shines through in every brushstroke.

apresentando nadine maria kouchner. a veterinária de trinta e três anos é do signo de câncer e se considera bissexual. dizem que ela parece muito com a ana de armas/fiona palomo, mas são só boatos.

pinterest.

atualmente está disponível para novos plots f/f e f/m.

𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄

nascida em paris, nadine foi criada pelos avós maternos. nunca chegou a conhecer os pais, que morreram em um acidente de carro quando ainda era pequena. contudo, nunca lhe faltou amor dentro de casa - os avós fizeram de tudo para que ela tivesse uma vida boa e sem faltas, ainda que não fossem os mais ricos da sociedade. nadine, por sua vez, sempre tentou retribuir esse cuidado dos mais velhos. era a neta perfeita, amável, gentil e educada. uma menina doce, que nunca deu trabalho para eles e para ninguém. devota aos estudos e ao catolicismo, sempre era elogiada pelos mais velhos por sua postura. por consequência, tinha as melhores notas da sua escola, fazendo todos os tipos de atividades possíveis. foi por meio disso que ela conseguiu uma bolsa de estudos para estudar na université di l'orangerie. a mudança de ambiente foi um certo choque. ainda que morasse em uma cidade maior, era fato que tudo que fazia em paris era moldado para agradar os avós. em des moines, nadine experimentou uma vida nova, com liberdade de fazer o que bem entendia, ainda que ela fosse inocente demais para entender certas coisas. contanto que mantivesse as notas, poderia ser quem bem entendesse. a entrada na kappa phi foi natural - a amizade que fez com as pessoas da fraternidade calhou de fazê-la se transferir para os dormitórios. e, ainda que não fosse uma das mais populares, achava que sua posição ali era confortável o suficiente para si. afinal, se sentia feliz - sabia que se tivesse permanecido com os avós, não teria tantos amigos quanto em des moines. a vida na faculdade teria sido perfeita, se não fosse o acidente de fiona. sendo uma das suas melhores amigas, a dor e a culpa a tomam de tal forma, que foi preciso anos para que pudesse se sentir melhor. mesmo que a culpa nunca a tivesse deixado, até nos dias de hoje.

𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐒

a nadine era de um rp de murder mistery, que intercalava entre o passado e o presente (2015-2024). basicamente, a fiona era uma das melhores amigas dela e acabou entrando em um coma que perdura até os dias de hoje. agora no presente, o victor, que era um colega que depois do acidente da fiona ficou obcecado com o caso, acabou sendo morto e todos os colegas da fraternidade receberam uma carta dizendo que eles tinham culpa no cartório, a nadine inclusa. o seu muse pode ser algum colega da fraternidade que nem ela, ou alguém externo. tá bem aberta a ideia que podemos desenvolver.
