MUSICIANS AT THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF ARTS

Today, Culture Day, I went as usual each year to see a few members of the Canadian Watercolor Society at the Fine Arts Museum of Montreal.   Two musicians, a vilonist and a cellist, were playing marvelously.   I could not resist to sketch them...

THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ARTS - New-York


This week I spent two days of pure joy drawing in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York.  As I had received a very beautiful publicity about their collection of arms  and armours, I first set my small and light stool in this section.  

The following day, I revisited the hall of Greek sculptures and their Roman copies.   Always interesting.   I could not leave this Museum without admiring again Rodin’s Bourgeois de Calais…

An incursion on the first floor enabled me to go and pay a visit to Rembrandt and his admirors. 

Here are the results of these two days.
