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.

Purchased this as my rome visit is short so decided to visit paris one instead, but it turn out to be quite a quick one and nothing interest me inside, should have gone to the basilica or cathedral. Everybody busy watching the pendulum in the middle, but it is just not for me. Once you purchased online ticket, it is a fast entry into the pantheon, we just show the electronic one and walk in. While the walk in line is not too long, but if you don&rsquo;t want to wait then better purchased online.

Such a beautiful view from the 56th floor. You won&rsquo;t regret it. I climbed to the top of Eiffel Tower and Triumphal Arch, but the best view of Paris are from Montparnasse Tower

The Orangery is a museum that brings together the best of Impressionism, especially the first floor, where water lilies are arranged in four moments according to Monet&#39;s idea, arranged in an 8-shaped pattern, which is unique. The paintings downstairs are also a collection of famous artists. I especially like the clown series. The greatest joy is sorrow. Amitabha, good and good 🙏🏻
