We went to see Emil Nolde at the Grand Palais this morning. Nolde was a German expressionist painter who was contemporary to many, and frankly in general interesting but not better than the more famous artists of his day.
There were a few really great paintings, but most were just okay. His watercolors, especially near the end of his life when he was not allowed by the Nazis to paint, were quite interesting.
It's been a while since I've made it to any museums in Paris, so I was glad to start 2009 off on this footing!
