Another Staatsgalerie visit after I moved to Stuttgart in August 2018. As you see I photographed again a Monet, I guess I really liked this painting.

Ruhlar Evi

Isabel Allende'nin "Eva Luna" ve "Aşktan ve Gölgeden" kitaplarını üniversitedeyken, Latin Amerika Edebiyatı'na iyice sarmışken okumuştum. Ama en ünlü kitabı olan "Ruhlar Evi"ni nedense es geçmişim. Sankt Georg Kitap Klübü'nün Mart ayı seçimi bu kitap oldu. Kitap epey sürükleyici olduğundan kısa sürede okunuyor.Genel anlamda Şili'nin tarihi geçmişini de arka planda yansıttığından çok hoşuma gitti. Gerek depremler olsun ki Büyük Şili…

La Galleria Nazionale, April 2018

Time is Out of Joint 11/10/2016 - 15/04/2018 I did not know that this Roma museum would surprise me that much! I was astonished to Klimt's work "Thre Three Ages of a Woman" all of a sudden in front of me. You might know it, IKEA sold a part of this painting as a print on canvas for a long…
