Exhibition - America after the fall: painting the age of anxiety
Need a cultural break to take your mind off revisions for the Concours Blanc? Take a Saturday out in Paris to visit the brilliant exhibition on American painting in the 1930s at the Musée de l'Orangerie (full details here).
You will find some "hits" and classics (Edward Hopper, the iconic "American Gothic" by Grant Wood above) and a wealth of details about that period in American history that can help you comprehend contemporary civilization issues as well as enrich your reading of literary texts from the same period -- Steinbeck, Faulkner, Miller, Hammett...
