Painters on show in Paris. Petit Palais, Musée des Beaux Arts de la ville de Paris


Giuseppe de Nittis



http://en.parisinfo.com/show-exhibition/1282676/giuseppe-de-nittis
'Giuseppe de Nittis loved the beautiful people, parties, clothes and great landscapes. This exhibition presents the work of this Italian painter, a friend of Caillebotte, Manet and Degas; characterized by certain elegance in the choice of his themes but also in the technique of his painters. He was also one of the first artists to experiment with pastels on a large scale.'

His work - which often deals with heavy historical subjects like the Holocaust and postcolonial guilt - resists easy interpretation. So fans and the creatively curious alike will be delighted by the  Whitechapel Gallery 's launch of  On & By Luc Tuymans , a collection of Tuyman's writings (one of them is appropriately entitled, "I Still Don't Get It") on not only his own ideas and images, but those of El Greco, Giorgio Morandi, and Neo Rauch, to name a few. Edited by historian-publisher Peter Ruyffelaere, it also includes critical essays, dialogues and interviews by art historians, critics, and artists like Ai Wei Wei and Takashi Murakami.
