I went to see the Ferdinand Hodler expo at the Musee d'Orsay today, cutting it close (as the exhibit ends tomorrow) but pleased I actually got one of the Parisian art things I want to see accomplished.
Ferdinand Hodler is the Swiss impressionist-period painter who never had much success in France, but is hugely respected in Switzerland. I really liked his portraits, the works he did on working people (woodcutters and the like) and most especially the landscapes. His work is very different from Georgia O'Keefe but I found a lot of the same power and grandeur and boldness to it.
