Orsay Museum, Louvre and Pompidou Center are also called the three major art museums in Paris. The museum mainly displays western art works created between 1848 and 19 14, which brings together the essence of modern French culture and art, fills the gap between ancient art and modern art in the history of French culture and art development, and makes the Orsay Museum a perfect intermediate transition connecting the ancient art hall of Louvre and the modern art hall of Pompidou Center.

[Edit this paragraph] Historical changes

This art palace, known as "the most beautiful museum in Europe", has experienced numerous changes in this land under its feet. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/9th century, it was the seat of the then administrative court and the Royal Court of Audit. It was destroyed by fire during the French Revolution in 1789. 1898, in order to welcome the Paris World Expo, the Paris Orlean Railway Company purchased this land from the state and built a railway station.

Designed by architect victor laloux, the railway station is not only rich but also bold. He advocated respecting the original building structure and retaining the original columns, cast iron beams and imitation marble decorations. After the completion, the architectural style of the new station complements the elegant style of the Louvre and Dululi Palace Garden on the other side.

The project lasted for two years and was completed and opened to traffic before the 1900 World Expo. For the next 40 years, Orsay Railway Station will be the starting point for all trains to the west and south of France. There are as many as 200 trains from here every day. It is also a place for photography, performance and auction. 1958, general de gaulle announced in the festival hall of the station hotel that he was prepared to "assume the power of * * * and the country".

However, due to the continuous progress of science and technology, electric trains are getting longer and longer, and the original station platform with the length of 138 meters obviously cannot meet the demand at that time. Had to change to a chartered suburban train line. Later, it gradually became an empty station that nobody cared about until it was abandoned. At this time, Parisians put forward many plans on how to use this well-designed railway station.

1972 it is suggested that the railway station be transformed into a museum. This proposal was supported by then French President Pompidou. Since then, both the right-wing President D 'Estaing and the left-wing President Mitterrand have been actively supported by the government. The renovation project adopted the design of Italian female designer Olanti, who carefully divided this empty hall with a length of138m, a width of 40m and a height of 32m. The gate is in the west. From west to east is the main hall with a length of 100 meters and a height of 32 meters. On both sides of the hall are independent exhibition halls. The exhibition rooms on both sides have three floors, mainly displaying paintings.

1900 when the railway station was just built, a painter named Detai once enthusiastically praised: how much this station looks like a palace displaying works of art! More than 80 years have passed, and the admiration of that year has actually become a reality. 1 986 65438+February1After nearly eight years of construction, this brand-new ivory building opened its doors for the first time to welcome tourists from all directions. The exhibition hall of the museum covers an area of 45,000 square meters and has more than 4,700 modern works of art, which is the place with the largest collection of Impressionist paintings in the world. At present, there are more than 4,000 art collections, including paintings, sculptures and furniture furnishings, with an exhibition area of over 45,000 square meters.

[Edit this paragraph] A glimpse of Orsay Art Exhibition

Still Life with Onion is a classic with simple and harmonious style, which embodies the characteristics of Cezanne's art. Cezanne (1839- 1906) is known as "the father of modern painting". In the history of art, there are "before Cezanne" and "after Cezanne", and Cezanne is regarded as a watershed. As the first painter who really changed the artistic object with subjective will, Cezanne's treatment and interpretation of the picture structure directly inspired the later cubist painting. The concrete contributions of Cezanne's art are "modeling with color", "artistic deformation" and "geometric program". Cezanne never drafts before painting. On the contrary, the first thing he wants to do is to create a sense of space and color perspective by layering colors through free association and comparing and contrasting at the same time, thus creating not one perspective but multiple perspectives. Cezanne's works are not made of lines, but products of colors. In Cezanne's works, the standard geometric shape is rarely seen, but the shape of the object is transformed according to the special feelings of the individual, making it simpler, more three-dimensional and causing a sense of weight. Cezanne wants the image in painting to be as stable, firm and unshakable as sculpture and even architecture. With this revolutionary and unprecedented art, Cezanne has influenced the modern art in the West for nearly a hundred years, especially for painters such as Braque, Picasso, Grace and even mondriaan, who mainly focus on form and composition.

The oil painting Two Women on the Beach is Gauguin's work. Gauguin (1848- 1903), known as the "primitive madman", showed a deviation from the civilization of the times in artistic tendency. He escaped the life of modern civilization like a reef, which brought great influence to modern art, especially the emergence of Fauvism. In order to escape the intrusion of the civilized world and find a new, more primitive, more authentic and more sincere way of life, Gauguin wandered around the world, leaving behind his family, children and work, refusing to accept the honors and gains that can be easily obtained, and lived in Tahiti, a Pacific island far from human habitation, for a long time until his death. On Tahiti, Gauguin discovered unpolluted natural colors and primitive and simple art. Therefore, Gauguin painted this plain form and strong colors into his own paintings with absolute seriousness. This work was created shortly after he came to Tahiti. Gauguin's unique painting method benefited from the enlightenment of Japanese ukiyo-e painting. Specifically, it is to use flat painted color surface, strong outline and subjective rich sad color to express the generalized and simplified shape and show strong personality. He always likes to use the contrast between dark green and orange, plus brown green, light yellow and black. This color preference, on the one hand, comes from his feelings about aboriginal life, on the other hand, it is also because he deliberately pursues warm and rude beauty. Gauguin's paintings, whether in shape or color, all abide by certain order and certain geometric patterns, and have strong musicality, rhythm and decoration.

Van Gogh's Sunflower and Al's Church are also welcoming us on the wall at the moment. Van Gogh (1853- 1890), whose passion was close to madness, was born in brabant province in the north of the Netherlands, and was the eldest son of a priest. 1890 On July 27th, Van Gogh, who was withdrawn, ended his life with a bullet in a field outside Paris. Van Gogh lived to the age of 37, and it was not more than ten years since he officially created paintings. However, Van Gogh had a strong love for nature and life, delicate feelings and incomparable sensitivity, so he created great works. Leo, a famous contemporary painter of Van Gogh, said: "He deliberately created a new kind of painting for a long time, which is a very simple and understandable art, almost like a child's painting. Can impress ordinary people without subtle artistic feelings. " Van Gogh had a special hobby-painting sunflowers, and he always insisted on painting. Van Gogh regarded painting as the best way to vent his feelings. In his eyes, sunflower is not an ordinary flower, but the light of the sun, a symbol of light and heat, a portrayal of his inner emotional fire and a microcosm of his miserable life. 1890 The Church of Al, written in the village of Al in June, is a late work of Van Gogh, when he was in the most difficult stage. After leaving St Remy's mental hospital, Van Gogh spent a quiet and imaginative time here, but then he fell into extreme pain and madness. From his thick and twisted brushstrokes and thick colors, we can see that he has a very strong, almost crazy sense of drama inside. In van Gogh's works

In the eyes, the sky is not quiet and clear, and it seems to be driven by some strange celestial force; In the picture, the long branches of cypress trees seem to be twisted flames, and the sun seems to explode at any time. This painting shows Van Gogh's pessimistic view of life. In Van Gogh's works, all people and things are full of violence and despair, and Van Gogh distorts and distorts everything.

At the Olympique19th century old-fashioned station on the banks of the Seine in Paris, there are the mysterious chapel of Van Gogh, the water lily of Monet, the fat woman of Renoir, the fountain of angels, the red roof of Carmel Pizarro, the white gate of Rodin's Hell ... There are big beds, chairs, fireplaces and glass foyer with young artistic style ... with the artistic trend of19th century flowing.
