Took this off google image. it's all glass, the curves of the building give off a very soft, gentle feeling to it, like, "ooohh ooohhh oooohhh~~~", you can feel so relaxed and at peace... oh yeah like waves. haha right, sea waves. but then there's a sharp pointed triangle right in the middle sitting on an oval disc which probably gives off a feeling/impression of........ "this is where art is." LOL i was absolutely bullshitting.
anyway. he visited the exhibition '400 Years of European Masterpieces from the State Hermitage Museum' which the museum brought in to celebrate their 5th anniversary yadayadayada yada. basically exhibiting the famous European paintings over the last four centuries. they featured 6 art pieces in the episode and i'm gonna show 2 of my favourite, or rather the 2 that left the deepest impression.
1. Entrance to the Port of Palermo by Moonlight, 1769 - Claude Joseph Vernet
this is the best image i can find online.... o_o what do you feel after seeing this? to be honest, usually i see paintings and i'm like, "oh yeah that's nice", then i move on to the next or admittedly, get a little bored after that. but i think you really need to clear your mind and look at the painting proper, paying attention to every detail and you might just be in awe. in which i am. how is it possible to draw/paint/create this piece by hand? i'm an art/drawing idiot and so most of the artworks that i see, i will probably think that's a damn good one. this one is probably not the best in the world but i think it is also one of the very finest? i look at it and i think it's just hard to imagine how it has been painted by hand. now we take photos and use filters and any idiot can be an artist (ha-ha), but look at this one?? the moonlight, the ship, the sea, the clouds, the people, the light, the smoke, the feeling, everything? it's so real it's surreal.
"the important/main point is that no matter how you look at it, you just can't get enough from it."
and 2 others i saw while googling by Vernet as well...
 |
| Night: A Port in the Moonlight, 1748 |
 |
| The Entrance to the Port of Marseilles, 1754 |
every detail is so...detailed? (lol sorry i'm not good at description) but yeah... you kinda can't enough looking at it.
2. Waterloo Bridge: Effect of Fog, 1903 - Claude Monet
....
does it makes you keep looking at it? hahaha, it does, doesn't it. is that the power of this painting? aha. but somehow i think it makes a very good bedsheet cover design.
....hahahahahahahaha
oh i just realised their first names are both Claude. maybe Monet's parents are big fans of Claude Joseph Vernet, so they named their child Claude and, woola, Claude Monet became a fine artist like the Claude of Vernet.
hahahaha

in the perfect world with an ideal spouse, he will appreciate art and care to visit art exhibitions with me. and he shall also understand that i will get bored at some point, and i wouldn't have to pretend that i know art damn well and have to fake my way through looking at every single art piece with passion and emotions. and then we'll leave gratefully for some iced milk tea and kaya & butter toast.
and then he has everything else of Matsujun >:)
