This exhibition deliberately makes such blurriness a key that opens another interpretation of a whole area of modern and contemporary visual creation. Initially
defined as “loss of distinctness”, blurriness has shown itself to be the favourite means of expression in a world where instability reigns and visibility is clouded.
It was on the ruins left by the Second Word War that this out-of-focus aesthetic took root and began to deploy its inevitably political dimension. The Cartesian principle of discernment, which had prevailed in art for so long, now appeared altogether inoperative. With the erosion of visible certainties and in the face of the range of possibilities available to them as a result, artists came up with new approaches, shaping their works out of the transitory, disorder, movement, incompleteness and doubt… Taking note of a fundamental shift in the world order, they opted for the indeterminate, the indistinct and allusion. This distancing from naturalistic clarity went hand-in-hand with a quest for polysemy, expressed by
a permeability of mediums and more importance being assigned to the beholder’s interpretation. Instrument of sublimation as much as manifestation of a latent truth, blurriness became both symptom and remedy of a world in search of meaning.

Night view

SUNSHINE ONUS

The Eiffel Tower in Paris is so spectacular that it is worth seeing and admiring. From afar on the platform, the majestic towers, the spires of high clouds, all reveal the wisdom and exploration of the tower designer Eiffel, who designed Paris, leaving unparalleled beauty and wealth for France and even the world. The Eiffel Tower attracts people from all over the world to Paris to appreciate and learn about the tower.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

Notre Dame is worth it. It is one of the most famous attractions in Paris and a must visit attraction. It was rainy today and the queue was long. Very crowded. Enter the interior of Notre Dame, deeply attracted by the exquisite religious works of the interior decoration, statues, murals, tapestries and so on. Taking a lot of photos and reading a lot of religious knowledge. Worth a visit.

Palace of Versailles

Historic buildings

M86***49

Versailles is one of France&#39;s most famous palaces, with its magnificent architecture and exquisite gardens breathtaking. The interior of the palace is decorated with luxurious tapestries and murals that showcase the luxury and power of the French royal family. What impressed me most was the mirror hall, with its spacious spaces and gorgeous mirrors and lamps, as if entering a dream world. The gardens around the palace are vast, with fountains, sculptures and neatly manicured gardens showing the ultimate aesthetic of gardening. Visiting the Palace of Versailles is not only a visual feast, but also an experience of crossing history.

Worth going! Just for Monet&#39;s large water lily works! There were a lot of people on the day of going, because the next day will be closed for a while. The art gallery is not big, if it is just a grassy look, it can be an hour. The bathroom must be used in the museum, there is no toilet on the street.
