<p>Okay, so the main event this weekend and the reason I drove to Paris was to see the Tour Auto show in the Grand Palais. Super rare legendary race cars in a icon environment. I had so called 'early bird' tickets so I could get in before the big crowds would enter at 16:00 hours. There would be one hour Gilbert time to shoot some cool picalillies. Then sit back and sip on a glass of banana cognac while the loser crowds were allowed inside.<br />
<br />
I was at the entrance a half hour before opening. A long ass queue in front of the entrance. Hundreds of people. I was like: WTF? I went to some guy from the organisation: &quot;yo my sneezy, I got early bird tickets, they call me Gilbert Early Bird. So where is the entrance for us privileged people, the 'golden childs' if you will?&quot;. The guy: &quot;yes Gilbert, why don't you flap your wings and get your privileged golden child ass in the back of this queue mf-er.&quot; <br />
<br />
I joined in the back of the queue, crying like a bitch. I wanted to go in first. I'm special. By the time I was in, 72.894 people were already inside. These early bird tickets were a scam. I cried some more. It was like a zoo inside. There was no space to take proper photos. I was like: what kind of bullshit ghetto ass car show is this? Took a few shots, packed my shit and was out within an hour.</p>

<p>&quot;Seeing&quot; in a long narrow frame is an interesting exercise.  Like with the &quot;Story Telling&quot; images in two, three, or four panels, it's possible that I'll be following this new (to me) thread for a fair bit of time.</p>

<p>Amazing place and it looked brand new. No chipped marble, no pigeons that shit all over the place. All the stained glass was in perfect condition. The paint work on the ceiling was bright and colourful. Good energy in the building. Everything was ultra clean and it looked like the place opened yesterday.  And... no crowds!<br />
<br />
Sat an the bench for a bit to enjoy the moment. Bought a little souvenir keychain too, to remind me of the goodness.</p>

<p>This place is amazing. I tell you no lie. I was genuinely impressed. Everything feels so grandesque.<br />
So it is only €17 to see Napoleon's tomb, Musée de l’Armée, Musée de l’Orde de la Liberation and there was a 20th century war exhibition. All of the highest quality.<br />
<br />
The older I get, the more I appreciate Paris and Europe. I can't believe how nice everything is.<br />

<p>Imagine being this great of a <i>homo sapien</i> that you are buried in the center of one of the most important cities in the Milky Way, under a gold dome and people pay €15 to see your grave. How big is this guy?</p>

<p>Paris is so nice. Beautiful little parks everywhere. Gorgeous streets and buildings. The best museums in the world. So much stuff to see but I haven't seen this until this weekend: the Hôtel des Invalides. It houses the army museum and the liberation museum and, and, and... the tomb of Napoleon.<br />

<p>Deux maîtres inégalés de la sculpture occidentale dialoguent à travers les siècles : Michel-Ange et Rodin. Leurs œuvres, qui incarnent la force du corps et la profondeur de l’âme, se rencontrent dans une confrontation inédite où se révèlent continuités comme ruptures.<br />
<br />
Organisée en cinq sections – Deux artistes mythiques ; Nature et Antiquité : réinventer le modèle ; Non finito ; Corps et âme ; Energie et vie – l’exposition réunit marbres, bronzes, plâtres, terres cuites, moulages et une très riche production graphique. Le parcours met l’accent sur les enjeux formels et conceptuels qui aboutissent à une même ambition : rendre visible l’énergie intérieure du corps.<br />
<br />
Le corps apparaît comme enveloppe et peau de l’âme, matière vivante soumise au temps et au geste. Le parcours interroge aussi la postérité de ces gestes : comment la réécriture de l’antique et l’usage des corps ont préparé les ruptures du XXe siècle ? En montrant filiations, emprunts et détournements, l’exposition propose une lecture sensible des mythes des deux génies et invite à repenser la sculpture non pas comme un élément qui « fait forme » mais comme un laboratoire d’innovations artistiques.<br />

Two unparalleled masters of Western sculpture engage in a dialogue across the centuries: Michelangelo and Rodin. Their works, embodying the strength of the body and the depths of the soul, meet in an unprecedented confrontation, revealing both continuities and ruptures.<br />
<br />
Organized into five sections – Two Mythical Artists; Nature and Antiquity: Reinventing the Model; Non finito; Body and Soul; Energy and Life – the exhibition brings together marbles, bronzes, plasters, terracotta sculptures, casts, and a rich collection of graphic works. The exhibition emphasizes the formal and conceptual challenges that lead to a shared ambition: to make visible the inner energy of the body.<br />
<br />
The body appears as both the envelope and the skin of the soul, a living matter subject to time and gesture. The exhibition also explores the legacy of these gestures: how did the reinterpretation of antiquity and the use of the body prepare the ground for the ruptures of the 20th century? By highlighting connections, borrowings, and reinterpretations, the exhibition offers a sensitive reading of the myths surrounding these two geniuses and invites us to rethink sculpture not as an element that &quot;creates form&quot; but as a laboratory for artistic innovation.<br />

<br />
Two unparalleled masters of Western sculpture engage in a dialogue across the centuries: Michelangelo and Rodin. Their works, embodying the strength of the body and the depths of the soul, meet in an unprecedented confrontation, revealing both continuities and ruptures.<br />
<br />
Organized into five sections – Two Mythical Artists; Nature and Antiquity: Reinventing the Model; Non finito; Body and Soul; Energy and Life – the exhibition brings together marbles, bronzes, plasters, terracotta sculptures, casts, and a rich collection of graphic works. The exhibition emphasizes the formal and conceptual challenges that lead to a shared ambition: to make visible the inner energy of the body.<br />
<br />
The body appears as both the envelope and the skin of the soul, a living matter subject to time and gesture. The exhibition also explores the legacy of these gestures: how did the reinterpretation of antiquity and the use of the body prepare the ground for the ruptures of the 20th century? By highlighting connections, borrowings, and reinterpretations, the exhibition offers a sensitive reading of the myths surrounding these two geniuses and invites us to rethink sculpture not as an element that &quot;creates form&quot; but as a laboratory for artistic innovation.<br />
