“What this painting is telling us is that a life mustn’t only be lived. It must be danced too. It matters little that our movements, actions, behaviors sometimes stray from all those automatic, endless rituals peculiar to custom and constraint; it matters little if we break from convention. What matters is to dance your life.” - “The Star” -Edgar Degas

I think I want to visit Orsay when we go to Paris this year instead of the Louvre.

4 paintings in. The back story is of a grandpa teaching his 10 year old grand daughter about each painting. I find the information about each painting enjoyable. Ive decided only to read 1-2 at a time. The back story is so-so

A new project book. Excited to dig in!
The premise is each chapter is about a famous painting in a french art museum.
