British Academic Painting - A Legend of Saint Patrick (1877) by Briton Riviere - Oil on Canvas
On March 17 is an important day; a national and religious day for Irish people called St Patrick’S Day. In honor of the Saint Patrick who introduced Christianity in Ireland and accomplished many miracles; like banishing all snakes from the country.
But more than that it is a wonderful occasion for Irish people to celebrate their culture. And as I have ,through my father’s side, ancestors that were Irish; I am always happy to celebrate this wonderful day.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to everyone worldwide!!!

A photo of another tomb my parents saw at the Montparnasse cemetary. Serge Reggiani’s. A man who was a close friend and colleague of Jean Marais. A very important actor who worked on many classics of cinema and theatre; like Luchino Visconti’s “The Leopard” and a new distribution of Jean Cocteau “Les Parents Terribles” during World War 2 and where, as Jean explained in a TV interview, Serge got into fistfights with collaborators who came to disrupt the play as it was accused of being an immoral show.
Also touching to see Stephan being buried there. So sad to hear that he killed himself back in the 1980s; at the age of 35.
A moment of thought for Stephan and Serge. Both important figures of French culture.

During their June 2015 trip in France, my Family visited the Montparnasse cemetery. There they took various photos of artists I love. Like Serge Gainsbourg’s tomb, resting with his parents Olga and Joseph. A tomb which had lots of fans giving an homage and a minute of silence to Serge.
A moment of thought for this great French poet and musician who passed away in March 1991. 27 years ago.
Je t’aime Serge.

Description de la chapelle du chasteau de Versailles, et des ouvrages de sculpture et de peinture (via The Met)
For all fans of “Versailles no Bara” or the corset drama show “Versailles”, this historical book here, published in 1711 by André Felibien, is a very good dive into the history of this French Castle and of how people wrote about it at the time. Wish there could be a full scan of it, so readers could enjoy its pages.

Walt Disney Animation Studios' Steamboat Willie
So exciting to see #WaltDisney studios offering on their @youtube page Steamboat Willie, the first animated short film with sound. And the first Mickey Mouse classic. The beginning of a legendary career for that immortal mouse.
February 28 2018 Update: In reply to someone’s message I received today, I did some research and found out that there are indeed other cartoons who have introduced, before Disney, sound like the “Song Car-a Tune” series by the Fleischer Brothers, or their short “Come Take a Trip in My AirBus” (1925), and even the cartoon “Dinner Time��. So although history makes Steamboat Willie not the first animated film with sound, it is nevertheless the first synchronized animated cartoon displayed in a wide public release and the one that launched Mickey Mouse’s career and Walt Disney’s animation industry. Thank you to the person who wrote to me and sent me an info precision. I really appreciate it. Very kind of you.

American Far West Painting - I Shall Never Forget the Sight (1918) by Newell Convers Wyeth (1882-1945) - Oil on Canvas
A photo I took in November of this superb artwork by N. C. Wyeth at the “Western” exhibition of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. As always, Wyeth is a supreme painter and illustrator. Capable of capturing the Far West period and the epicness of the landscape and of its people.

Rococo French painting - Mezzetin (1718-1720) by Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) - Oil on Canvas (via The Met)
Although done years before the Rococo movement ever started, Watteau’s painting displays much of the gallantry and frivolity in that art movement. Especially in the delicate colours of the current. As for this work, one can clearly identify the theatricality of the setting and subject; which is the Mezzetin, a comedia dell’arte character. Interestingly, Catherine the Great was one of the owners of that painting..

French film poster - l’Éternel Retour (1943) directed by by Jean Delannoy and written by Jean Cocteau.
Lot of fascination for this Jean Delannoy - Jean Cocteau production. The film that made Jean Marais and Madeleine Sologne’s worldwide stars; the supreme cinematographic rendition of Tristan and Isolde’s myth.

Canadian Painting - Captive Scout (1881) by Henry Sandham (1842-1910) - Oil on Canvas
Photo I took last November of this amazing painting displayed at the Western Exhibition of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. As I found out through my reserach, Mr. Sandham was from Montreal and also founded the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
