SYDNEY, AU - Rupert Bunny (1864–1947) was one of the most successful expatriate artists of his generation. No other Australian artist achieved the critical acclaim that he enjoyed in Paris. An erudite painter of ideal themes, and the creator of the most ambitious Salon paintings produced by an Australian , Bunny is an exotic in the history of Australian art. An exhibition, Rupert Bunny artist...

It was the slightly gamy residue of the super-elegant and exotic pictures of Aubrey Beardsley. I have always considered the 1900 period as the psycho-analytical end-product of the Greco-Roman Decadence. I said to myself: Since these people will not hear of aesthetics and are capable of becoming excited only over “vital agitations”, I shall show [...]

The Netherlands produced three of my dozen favorite painters (see below), an amazing yield for so small a land. Amsterdam houses museums for two of them—Rembrandt and van Gogh—and the Rijksmuseum also has a few specimens from the limited output of Vermeer. But perhaps a sunny Saturday was not a good time to visit the [...]

A popular travel itinerary runs from Amsterdam tours to London bus tours, to Paris city tours. These cities are all cultural Meccas of fashion, music, architecture and culinary arts, which would make a very well-rounded trip of Europe. Most people take just a little less than two weeks on their European vacations and book through [...]

Republic of Ireland striking star Robbie Keane insists he had a "grand time" in Paris in spite of his side's heartbreaking World Cup 2010 qualification play-off defeat. Hampered by the loss of their trademark luck, the Irish were denied a trip to South Africa by a William Gallas goal, scored after Thierry Henry had tossed the ball from hand to hand like a pizza chef flipping dough. Amazingly,...

I’ve decided to jump on Janetha’s Flashback Friday train that so many bloggers are riding! The place: My first trip to Paris. The time: June, 2007. The trip was a present from Matthew for my college graduation. Among other things, Matthew had planned a dinner cruise along the River Seine. I didn’t know what to expect, [...]

I am reading Alan Hollinghurst's The Folding Star again. Finding myself wanting to read his stylish prose again, but having read The Swimming Pool Library twice before, finding The Spell not quite worthy enough of re-reading and thinking The Line of Beauty irritating beyond permission, it was an obvious choice. As the nights draw in, its dark North European atmosphere seemed perfect. Set in an

Paris Through My Lens (Free subscription) | 02/11/2009
As a rule I shy away from photographing great works of art. I feel that they should be viewed in person and certainly my photographs could never do them justice. I've made an exception today, but perhaps I shouldn't have. I'm not sure. That said, here I am posting two pieces from the Musée d'Orsay. I liked the sculpture against the architectural details of this former railway station turned...

I went to Paris a few weeks, and the trip was accompanied by the usual quandaries about packing. I knew the weather would be chilly (10 degrees) I plumped for my red coat with blue rosette. On winter breaks, it is often your coat that ends up in all the photos so it is worth wearing [...]
