Martigny, Switzerland



The front of the Foundation Pierre Gianadda musuem
     This past weekend, Nuno and I were dropping off his brother (Toni) and his girlfriend (Luci) in a city about two hours East of Geneva, and on the way back we stopped in Martigny to check out at art exhibition. The exhibit was at the Foundation Pierre Gianadda museum. It featured such artists as Van Gogh, Picasso and Kandinsky. One of my favorite artists is Van Gogh, and sadly they only had three of his pieces. One of my favorite pieces in the show, however, is the oil painting below by Kupka. The museum also had a really pretty sculpture garden behind the museum, as well as a special exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's journal sketches and models of his inventions.

Frantisek Kupka, Forme de jaune (Notre Dame) 1911


Please do not touch signs are hard to obey

Look at the green trees on the mountains!

The sculpture is exactly what you think it is

Love the colors

The original is so much smaller

    I know, the real Mona Lisa is a big disapointment. It is just unbelievable that such a small painting could become so famous and so controversial! :)
    Looks like a great way to spend the day.
    Today we are getting together with Lauren because she is moving to Denver!!
