Monet’s Gift Is Now the l’Orangerie + Matisse, Hockney & Modigliani

The Musée National de l’Orangerie des Tuileries in Paris is housed in a relatively small building, and yet it is brimming with joie de vivre — an exuberant enjoyment and celebration of life! Originally constructed to house citrus trees during the cold winter of 1852, the l’Orangerie truly blossomed in the 1920s when the French State and Claude Monet transformed the structure into a center for displaying fine art. For such a modest museum, the l’Orangerie offers a good permanent collection with Renoirs and Picassos, a dedicated exhibition space for temporary shows of the highest quality, and two spectacular oval rooms offering a peaceful presentation of Monet’s water lilies.

How To Find One Magical Museum of Art

Tired of cookie-cutter museums with antiseptic white walls and uninspired exhibitions, we started our search in New York City, then traveled to the Midwest, and finally flew to California in order to find a special home for art lovers — one magical museum of art. We visited the Brooklyn Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, SFMOMA, the Norton Simon Museum, the Getty Center, the Broad, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Chicago — See the Most Extraordinary Art & Architecture in the USA

During stressful times, when one hopes to gain perspective on life's complexities, the best tonic may be a walk by a lake or through a park, perhaps a boat ride to take in the creativity all around us, or an inspirational visit to a museum. As the poet and mystic Thomas Merton observed, "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

Two Superior Museums of Art in the Heart of Vienna

After many visits to Vienna in recent years, we have chosen the Albertina Museum as Austria’s greatest venue for art. The Albertina is the largest museum of modern art in Central Europe. It also possesses 65,000 drawings and roughly 1,000,000 Old Master prints, making the graphics collection (founded in 1776) housed inside the Albertina the most important in the world,…

Jacquemart-André — A Wonderful Little Museum in Paris

When Nélie Jacquemart acquired “Virgin and Child on a Throne” (pictured below) at the end of the 19th century she did not know who had created this important painting — for it was only later, in the 1930s, that this masterpiece was attributed to Giovanni Bellini. The Musee Jacquemart-André on Boulevard Haussmann was created from the private home of Nélie…

The Best of Boston -- Gauguin, Monet & Sargent

When travelers tell us they plan to spend a week in New York, our initial response is to suggest that a 10-day visit to Boston and New York City would be ideal. For art lovers, Boston is a relaxed place to contemplate "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" (shown above), the monumental mural Paul Gauguin painted on heavy burlap in Tahiti between 1897 and 1898. Across the Charles River from Boston, in Cambridge, amazing portraits by the greatest painters from the 17th- through the 20th-century await your gaze at the Harvard Art Museums.

    A Unique & Fabulous Pilgrimage to the Marmottan in Paris

    01/05/2025 /1 Comment

    The world's largest collection of paintings by Claude Monet rests comfortably today in the leafy hamlet of Passy (a neighborhood absorbed into the City of Paris in 1860) inside a townhouse with Empire-style salons. This property was purchased in 1882 by Jules Marmottan, a lawyer and mining-company director who collected pre-Renaissance art from Germany, Flanders and Italy.

    The Most Magnificent European Display of Monet & Other Impressionists

    01/04/2025 /No Comments

    The ambition of Oscar-Claude Monet (1840 — 1926) to capture on canvas the passing of the seasons and the changing of daylight transformed how we perceive nature and led the way to 20th-century modernism. If you have the opportunity to view the Hasso Plattner Collection in Potsdam, Germany, you will be enchanted by Monet’s devotion to painting outdoors and his…

    You cannot go wrong when planning to see an exhibition devoted to art created by Vincent van Gogh — your only valid complaints could be that the show is too small, or perhaps covers only one tiny facet of his remarkable career. Our journey took place in 2023. We began by visiting a small exhibition featuring landscape paintings by Vincent…

    Alice Neel in the Guggenheim Bilbao — Astonishing Paintings

    01/01/2025 /No Comments

    The Guggenheim Bilbao describes the painter Alice Neel (1900 — 1984) as “one of the most radical artists of the 20th century.” “A fervent advocate for social justice, humanism, and the dignity of people,” according to the organizers of this career-spanning retrospective, Neel “considered herself a ‘collector of souls’.” When this exhibition entitled Alice Neel: People Come First was presented…

    Van Gogh — Vincent’s Influence in Germany

    Based on the trailblazing exhibition entitled “Making Van Gogh” which was on view at the Städel Museum from October 23, 2019 through February 16, 2020, we feel it is justified to refer to Vincent van Gogh as the “Father of Expressionism.” Without a doubt, this spectacular presentation of 50 paintings (and additional works on paper) by Van Gogh goes even…
