I am staying in a hostel in the Montmatre area which happened to be and still is the home of many artists. Some famous and some, not so much. Once the district of; Vincent Van Gogh (touched his door!- I have the right to be excited ok), Toulouse-Lautrec aka Moulin Rouge, Monet, Picasso and Dali to name a few... Therefore Im in a really cool part of town:)

To get to Paris I took a plain from Hamburg. On boarding the plain I almost thought it was a joke. Smallest plain I have ever been in. It was the size of a bus and had propellers. It was basicaly a long helicopter.

I checked out the Dali museum. The mueum itself was dark and smelled of urine. But the art saved the exposition. I didnt even know that Dali also dabbled in sculpture! shame on me...

But the killer qrt museum for me was the Pompidou. Wow, now that is where youll see cutting-edge modern and contemporary art. The building itsledf is a piece of innovative architecture. Trasparent tubes encasing escalators dominate the exteriour of the building.

There was a whole expostion on Klandinsky (Taught alongside Klee at the Bauhaus Design School in Berlin- but a Russian himself). Showing loads of his works. I was able to notice the evolution through time in his works. I wasnt a fan of his simple elementary-school-looking bland lignes and colored shapes pieces but his latest was his greatest.

The other real cool part about the Pompidou was that they had a whole floor dedicated to feminist art. Yup, that right. Everything from Gorilla Girls to Yoko Ona to Kiki Smith, the works. And they didnt hide the facts that most women artists are showed in the shadows. However, I feel with the art that is comming out now... things are changing. We are starting to really just focus on whats essentiel, the art.
