Femme Femme
Femme Femme is an amazing collection of French paintings on view at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Context is everything... and to see Michelle Saia's wedding party dance and toast the newlyweds below pushed the point to the sublime.Everyone was ready to be happy... to celebrate something and art and love give us hope. I loved seeing the show with Harry and NOLA artist Mary Jane Parker. Everyone had a story to tell or a favorite painting to show and tell.
If I were to curate a show of contemporary art to complement this show John Currin's work would be a wonderful point of departure... but after that I'd probably turn to the Europeans.
Something to think about, anyway. If you would like to suggest painters appropriate for my dream exhibition please send them on!
Femme, femme, femme: Paintings of Women in French Society from Daumier to Picasso from the Museums of France was organized by the Ministére françis de la Culture et de la Communication - Direction des musées de France and La Réunion des Musées nationaux. The exhibition is on view at the New Orleans Museum of Art from March 3 - June 3, 2007.More info on the Femme Femme show can be found in the link to the title of this post.

your art..
ah, yes, well please curate the show and you have permission to use my art!
Lovely work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, eye. I've been distracted of late and missing my blogger time! Art is the best distraction but unfortunately is isn't the ONLY distraction.
I have been trying to get information on Michelle Saia--if you could be of any help i would greatly appreciate it!
This exhibition was memorable! We are now ISO the catalogue:)
