Marshaling a dizzying variety of materials and methods both established and unconventional, Fischer explores themes of perception and representation, distorting scale and reimagining common objects and images through technological intervention. By evoking and reworking historical genres and motifs, he embraces transformation and decay, producing art that inhabits a space between the real and the imagined. The series represents a conscious flattening out and forcing together of disparate categories and associations, calling the status and relationship of each image’s components into question.
While earlier foreground food and manufactured objects, the paintings on view in Paris feature enlarged vintage publicity headshots of popular film actors Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider, and Gene Tierney, partially obscured by silkscreened images of flowers. The subjects’ eyes gleam with mystery, while the vibrant colors of the blooms reflect the women’s enigmatic hidden depths. Fischer’s witty clash of images summons the romantic and sexual associations of flowers while hinting at the ephemeral character of glamour and fame; it also evokes the mustache that Marcel Duchamp penciled onto a postcard reproduction of the in or (1919).
The tense face-off between obfuscation and potential enacted by the works on view gives rise to the formal “problems” referenced in their collective title, while the masking of their subjects’ facial features hints at psychic and conceptual erasure. The blooms evoke floriography (the use of flowers as a coded poetic language), their pink, white, and blue colors echoing the symbolic colors of the . And while their large scale suggests power and strength, they also serve as a metaphor for the women’s emergence into the sometimes harsh light of fame.

I booked a ticket to the Louvre through Trip.com for 14:30. It was very easy to book. On that day, you can join the line about 30 minutes before your booking time, and you&rsquo;ll be able to enter the museum on time. If you&rsquo;re into art, you will love it because it&rsquo;s such a huge museum with five floors (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2). You can spend half a day or even a full day there, but since I&rsquo;m not very into art, 1&ndash;2 hours was enough for me. Anyway, it&rsquo;s worth visiting at least once if you come to Paris!

It is worth climbing the stairs to walk up, where you can see many different scenery and surprises. The only drawback is that it is very tiring and there are not enough toilets. There are many tourists, and it is really painful to queue for a long time and there are many people in the toilets on the ground during cleaning time. Otherwise, this attraction is really super beautiful and worth visiting again and again in different seasons.

凡爾賽宮地方非常大，太陽亦好猛烈，如果有老有嫩，記得book架哥爾夫球車坐下，否則大大個太陽在頭頂，會行得辛苦。坐車比較實際，否則老人家走兩步哂親熱親也無謂。

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

🌟 Paris stroll: a city romantic code, how many people do not know Paris, this name knows this building, in the textbooks to read the ugly bell ringer has increased the mystery of the biological Notre Dame, Paris must punch in the red location. The interior has not yet opened, and the exterior is still under maintenance. 🗼 Notre Dame Cathedral is under maintenance, and the people who come to punch in are still endless, just to witness the truth. It reopened in September. You can make an online reservation for the Seine River at night like a picture scroll slowly unfolding. The beauty is unspeakable.
