Orsay Week Part 4

I love the riot of color in these fun furniture sculptures that were part of the Art Nouveau exhibit. I'm sorry but I do not remember the name of the designer who did such a brilliant job designing them.If anybody knows who did, please leave it in the comments section.  

This is the last part of the series. Did you enjoy it?

LOVED the series on musee Orsay -- we visited Orsay on our second day in Paris, and it was AFTER that that I learned I needed to look UP and DOWN and all around to take in all the beauty there is to see. Having you highlight the details was terrific, because I must say, I think I missed it! I was too intent on the paintings and sculptures and missed the amazing architecture and didn't really notice the sculptures outside! That and I am photographically-challenged and had a new digital camera that I was still trying to figure out.

You have a fabulous 'eye' for detail and beauty and thank you for sharing your always unique and special point of view.
