WW - The Kiss
Taken at the Rodin Museum, Paris (I'm just back from a most enjoyable stay in Paris with more culture than you can shake a stick at and the best possible company). This week's belated (for me anyway!) Wordless Wednesday.
Rodin could capture passion like nobody. We saw his work at the Wadsworth Atheneum two years ago. Three times because we couldn't get enough. Thanks for reminding me of the beauty of his work.
Nice shot, brings back a memory of my dad getting a miniature sculpture of Rodin's Kiss for my mother on their anniversary. As a teenager I was so embarrassed by that! My parents? Kissing? Or more? Augh! LOL
Welcome back - I thought you were in Ireland with your folks. If I were one of the pluted blotocrats I would collect Rodin bronzes - he is a hero of art.
Something that's definitely not gay in ol gay Paree!!!!!
Welcome back. :) It's so weird that I keep hearing a bunch of songs on XM that you would approve of. It kept me company during your blog absence. Sparks, Soft Boys, Robyn, Hoodoo Gurus, Plastic Bertrands....
Great Rodin sculpture. I'm excited because the state museum near me has received a large donation of Rodin's and they are building a special addition to house them. Glad you had a good vacation in Paris.
nice shot i love paris and his great content of ancient things

ReplyDeleteGreat photo.
ReplyDeleteI did get to see tons of art and museums while I was in Paris, but I know there is a lot more. I need to go back one of these days.
Absolutely gorgeous....
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful way to spend a holiday!
Happy WW!!
What a fun trip! I've never had a desire to see Paris, but the art would be fun.
ReplyDeleteI bet you had a great time there, there is so much to see :-)
ReplyDeleteParis is beautiful, but it doesn't hold a candle to Prague.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your time there, didn't you see me waving to you from the Eiffel Tower ? lol...kidding.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Jams. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Good for you!

Oh poor you. Paris, eh? I love Rodin and although I haven't been to the museum in Paris I have been to the fabulous Rodin museum in Philadelphia.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I had a wonderful time. Sorry I haven't been visiting this WW. I came back with a vile cold. Normal service will resume next week!
ReplyDeleteMy conference week gave me a vile cold too!
ReplyDeleteLate, Jams, I know. Still: Lovely to read you had a great time in France.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did the not-wife and you re-enact the scene? :)
I did indeed Sean. The not-wife was delighted with my presents. Chocs and lingerie!
