I'd love to see a Dali up close and personal. He's my favorite artist and I
somehow think that having posters, calendars, and prints just isn't doing
his work any justice. Are any of his there at the Louvre?

This may be sacriligious and if my art teacher heard me say this, she'd
likely beat me, but I prefer to see the Mona Lisa in print, in books or
on a poster.
Seeing her in person, up close, was WAYYYYYYYY not impressive.
The ACT of it was. "Hey! We did the Louvre! We saw the Mona Lisa!" But
looking at the real thing was just not mind blowing.
Now when they had the exhibit of Michaelangelo's horse sketches and
sculptures down in Washington DC YEARS ago, I was blown away by those.
Of course horses are a passion near and dear to my heart, so that likely
helped ...
Some of the other masterpieces in the Louvre were lovely. Fascinating
place ... what we saw of it ...
Cheers,
Erika

I got to go see a great selection of Ansel Adams photos at the museum
this weekend. I have to say that I was floored with some of his photos.
I have seen most of his pictures in books and what not but nothing
compares to seeing the actual prints. Especially a three foot wide
print. :-| It was like seeing my first Van Gogh. Nothing compares to the
real thing.
