After a series of modern and comtemporary museum visits, I felt really inspired by some good old-fashion French art through an exhibition at the de Young Museum, Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay.
Taking place in a time with strong rules of academic painting, the Impressionists were independent Paris-based artists whose group exhibitions brought them to prominence.
A refreshing and informative exhibition discently displayed for the pleasure of the eyes and the soul.
The Birth of Impressionism exhibition is running until the September 6, 2010 for $20 and I advice the audio guide. As a preview, have a look at the following pictures of some of the masterpieces display in this exhibition.
