#I want Anya from Real Girlfriends of Paris to give me a tour of the Louvre

okay let’s do 21 because i know you’re a museum girlie!

What’s your favorite period in art history, your favorite famous work and/or your favorite style of art?

so i don’t have one favorite famous work of art, but i absolutely LOVE 20th century oil painting portraits of rich people taken for no other reason than they can?? i must have like 20+ of them on my phone from museums over the years. but my favorite style of art is abstract expressionism, especially clyfford still, willem de kooning, and mark rothko

I feel like I’ve tricked you into thinking I’m more cultured than I am 😂 because I’m so all over the place when it comes to art, because it’s just like I know what I like when I see it?

Omg YES to the 20th Century oil paintings! Rich people just showing that they have money is always a favorite, I’ve seen one where it was a woman surrounded by like 17 fluffy cats and it’s seared in my brain! Love!

Hmm, if I had to pick a period it would probably be the Rococo period because as a maximalist it speaks to me, the playful opulence of it all! Like here is The Swing from Fragonard, I adore everything about it!

As for works I got to see the Primavera by Botticelli this summer and I literally did not want to leave the room. I love Monet’s Waterlilies, we have one at my art museum and it’s my favorite piece in the whole collection. I think the history behind The Three Witches of MacBeth is so fun because it’s literally about boss babes of the 1770s being boss babes.

But also, here are a couple of my favs from my European Tour!
