Beijing China Millennium Monument's "From Courbet, Corot to Impressionism - The World of Light and Shadow from Normandy, France, the exhibition title is the same as many local bosses' requirements for advertising, want to put all the selling points into the picture, especially with the words "authentic exhibition" is more funny, probably in recent years, there are too many PPT exhibitions. The 61 exhibits are mainly selected from the French Normandy Painting Society, and if it were not for the works of several masters such as Delacroix, Courbet and Manet, it would not have attracted me much.
This time, I will use the official picture and add a little close-up of my own shooting.
Gustav Courbet, The Boats of Normandy Beach, Saint-Aubin, circa 1871
The painting subjects of the entire exhibition are mainly normandy scenery, which is more peculiar in the imported Western art exhibitions. Normandy is famous for the Normandy landings of World War II, in fact, Normandy is an administrative district in the north of France, across the sea from the United Kingdom, generally speaking, France's holiday destination is the south, and the scenery of Normandy has not been seen much before. This late Courbet work already has an Impressionist flair.
