National Museum of Singapore: Masterpieces from the Musee d’Orsay, Paris (Part 6 of 6)

National Museum of Singapore: Masterpieces from the Musee d’Orsay, Paris (Part 2 of 6)
Dreams and Reality was an apt name for the collection. The paintings went from dreamy to bleak, with depictions of war and industrialization. The bleakness conveyed in this one, scared me quite a bit. Something about the burning and the … Continue reading
