Matisse to Malevich
I recently visited this fabulous art exhibition at The Hermitage Amsterdam. It was breathtaking. If you are in Amsterdam anytime this summer until September 17th then do try to visit the Matisse to Malevich exhibition. Besides the latter artists you'll also find exceptional works by Picasso, Van Dongen, De Vlaminck, Derain and many other contemporaries of theirs. Seventy-five paintings have been specially selected from The Hermitage St. Petersburg that explore the origins of modern art.

ReplyDeleteI love 'Small Town On the Seine', it's so peaceful and dreamy.
ReplyDeleteLoved the ones you shared! My favorite was Lady in a Black Hat - lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love Lady in a Black Hat! I hope you are having a lovely time in Amsterdam.
ReplyDeleteHi, Mrs. B! Oh my! You're in Amsterdam during the World Cup finals! I just can't imagine being there, especially now that Netherlands lost to Spain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I didn't know that there was a 'Hermitage' in Amsterdam! I thought it was there only in St.Petersburg.
ReplyDeleteDid you visit any of the museums with Rembrandt paintings?
What treat! We will definitely pass by Amsterdam! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW. I love these so much! WIsh I were able to go. I love Woman in Green, Lady in a Black Hat, and Boy with a Dog. (Heh, I also love the highly descriptive titles.)
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous. I've always loved Matisse and his use of colour. There's always the touch of whimsy.
