The two of them chatted about their experiences in Paris. Time passed quickly, and Chen Xing was about to get off the car in a blink of an eye.
Xie Siyan quickly asked for Chen Xing's WeChat account and said: "From what you said, we have met several times in Paris. Let's add him as a friend. We can have a meal or something together when we are free."
Chen Xing didn't think too much about it. He rarely refused girls' requests to be friends.
He just said: "You have to be careful and don't go outside Little Paris alone. Districts 18, 19, and 20 are not very peaceful."
Her friends also said this, but Xie Siyan has never felt it as deeply as she does today.
After getting off the subway, Chen Xing found a cafe to eat and waited for Abel to come find him.
Just after 12 o'clock, Chen Xing's cell phone rang before she finished her meal.
After telling Abel her current location, she sat in front of Chen Xing within five minutes.
Today she changed into a set of clothes. The down jacket was replaced by a woolen coat. Underneath was a burgundy sweater. It was very slim and very similar to Chen Xing's clothes. From a distance, it looked like a couple's outfit. "Your clothes are very good today." Chen Xing took the initiative to praise.
It suits his eyes very well.
Abel smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, let's go to the museum in the afternoon? Are there any changes in your itinerary?"
"No change, wait until I finish eating."
Chen Xing speeded up his meal. The meal that had not been finished for half an hour was now finished in two or three minutes. After drinking coffee and resting for a few minutes, the two of them walked towards the Musée d'Orsay, which was not very far away. There are three largest and most famous museums in Paris, which are called the three major museums.
The first is definitely the world-famous Louvre, the second is the Musée d'Orsay, and the third is the Georges Pompidou National Center for Art and Culture.
It is worth mentioning that the place where he and John met in the morning was outside the Pompidou Art and Culture Center.
Abel soon entered the state of a tour guide, and while walking, he introduced Chen Xing to the Musée d'Orsay he was about to go to.
"The Musée d'Orsay was converted from a train station more than a hundred years ago. The original intention of establishing the Musée d'Orsay was to connect the Louvre and the Pompidou National Art Center in a practical sense. The Louvre collects works before 1860
For art, the Pompidou collected it after 1905, and most of the art collected by the Musée d'Orsay is between them."
"It turns out that these museums were established according to the time of the collection."
"Yes, but it's not absolute. When we arrive, you will find that the collection there also contains relatively famous works of art from other periods."
The two chatted about the museum for a while, and then Chen Xing thought of what John had asked him to sign up for, so he asked: "Is the Paris Art Academy recruiting students recently?"
"Yes, have you noticed that there are a lot more painters in Paris these days? Most of them are here to take exams."
Chen Xing told her what John had said to her before. Abel nodded and said: "There is nothing wrong with what he said. The only thing you have to consider is whether you can pass the exam... Although I have never studied art, I
I heard from friends that it was really difficult."
"It depends on luck." Chen Xing said.
With luck, he will also be a college student.
While we were talking, the Musée d'Orsay arrived.
Like many Paris attractions, entry here is free for those under the age of 26. Chen Xing and Abel were admitted after showing their certificates.
The Musée d'Orsay displays paintings, sculptures, cultural relics, installation art works and other exhibits in different categories.
There are too many museums in Paris. In terms of popularity, the Louvre is more famous than the Musée d'Orsay, so why did Chen Xing choose to put the first museum he visited here?
Because of Abel’s introduction, here is the largest collection of Impressionist works in the world.
Chen Xing likes Impressionist works.
The characteristic of Impressionist works is to emphasize people's feeling and impression of light and shadow of external objects. This is similar to Chen Xing's feeling of light and shadow in photography, except that photography focuses on reality, while in painting, Impressionism focuses on the painter's heart.
Reaction.
They are all art of light and shadow, one outward and the other inward.
Chen Xing personally feels there is no essential difference.
When Chen Xing entered the museum, the first thing she looked at were the paintings. Abel introduced the paintings to Chen Xing. She also gained a lot of knowledge last night. She could tell some stories about most of the paintings here. "This is Monet's Rouen Cathedral. Monet is the founder of Impressionist painting. The name Impression in Impressionism evolved from Monet's "Sunrise, Impression". Conservative people at the time could not accept it.
A reporter criticized the new painting style and published an article called "An Exhibition of Impressionism", which mocked the painters. Then, Impressionism was born out of ridicule."
Chen Xing looked closely at this "Rouen Cathedral".
When you get closer, you can see what kind of thing this painting is. It makes no sense. This is also a painting.
Look away.
Wow, what a great painting!
Chen Xing could imagine how absurd people felt when they saw this painting, but it has to be said that this painting is actually like the world seen by people with thousands of degrees of myopia wearing plain glasses that are filled with fog.<
/p>
Impressionism is like this. It is not limited to reality and mainly expresses the inner heart.
In addition to paintings, sculptures here are also famous. The 19th century was the heyday of sculptures, and the more than 2,000 sculptures collected by the Musée d'Orsay also show the world the amazing achievements of this period.
Chen Xing was not very interested in sculpture art and just browsed it briefly.
Compared with painting or photography, the art form represented by sculpture is a bit inferior... Of course, this is just Chen Xing's personal opinion, and he will not speak out his thoughts.
By the time they came out after visiting the museum, it was already three hours later.
Abel discussed the paintings he had just seen with Chen Xing enthusiastically. At this time, she was not like a tour guide at all. She was just a friend who visited the museum with Chen Xing. It was just that this friend had more knowledge and could provide Chen Xing with more information.
Xing introduces the background of some paintings.
But Chen Xing still couldn't help but think about the photography works in the museum.
It turns out that photos can also be collected in museums.
My plan for today and tomorrow is to visit museums. Among other things, I must visit the three major museums.
The Louvre is too big to browse through in one day, so Abel took Chen Xing to the Pompidou Center first.
This visit was not as pleasant as the previous visit to the Musée d'Orsay.
The main reason is that Chen Xing doesn't understand the so-called artwork here.
A piece of white paper, with a few dots of paint, can be placed in a museum for people to visit?
A huge piece of white paper, with holes for the mouth and eyes cut out with scissors, and another hole cut out on the forehead. This was also placed in the most conspicuous position. Is it a work of art?
It’s too hellish.
This is also a work of art, and the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics is also a successful opening ceremony.
Chen Xing is completely unable to understand so-called modern art.
