Monday, July 7

The church of St. Germain des Pres is the oldest in Paris.



These late Delacroix murals (oil on canvas) are in the church of Saint-Sulpice. Seurat and Signac spent a lot of time studying them.



In the Jardin du Luxembourg, there was some serious chess playing going on.

We also found a great playground where Nina and I hung out while Mary went to see a Vlaminck show in the Musée du Luxembourg.

There was a lot of contemporary sculpture on display in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
Petite Ligne Vert, 2007 by Christophe Dalecki made me think of Rachel Urkowitz's plastic flowers.

Nina and I went back to St. Sulpice since Mary was still in the Vlamick show.


One chapel held a video installation by Benjamin Bergery and Jim Campbell.
Epiphany, 2007


Then we went back to the Musée du Luxembourg to find Mary. She said the show was great, though photography was not permitted.
