| My first try at a Panorama, outside L'Orangerie |
No photos allowed in the L'Orangerie. There
was a special exhibit of Chaim Soutine,
Order out of Chaos, who was the main reason I
wanted to go back to this museum, so I was pleased to see it. Most people go to L'Orangerie, on the other side of
the Tuileries from the Louvre, to see the water lily paintings by Monet, which take up the whole main floor. They are impressive in the shear size of them but I prefer the galleries downstairs.
The essence of the personality that Soutine captures in his portraits is really something.

I also enjoyed the Modigliani portraits. I saw one of his sculptures at the Guggenheim in Venice-one of the better pieces housed in that museum.

There was this little gem by Monet downstairs
(little being relative to the water lilies upstairs):

Argenteuil, Claude Monet
