Yesterday I took the train from Rennes to Strasbourg, and did a quite long stop in Paris to see the exhibition "Vienna 1900" where works of Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka and Moser are exposed. It was a great exhibition, and I understand why there's a profusion of words around it. The Viennese Leopold Museum must be quite empty now, and until January 30th !
This day was very special to me... It was a Viennese day. I explain myself: I bought in Rennes a book of Stefan Zweig (an austrian writer): "the world of yesterday" (simple translation from the french "le monde d'hier"). In this book, you can read the author's life as he was young and living in Vienna, around the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. So my eyes became Viennese, and everything I saw was in german. Then this famous exhibition about Viennese Secession, and then, last but not least, the train I took from Paris to Strasbourg went to Vienna, endstation ! So I could have stayed in the train and then go to Vienna !... but we're celebrating Christmas in Strasbourg, and it seemed to me quite important.
So I left my austrian way of watching back to the french one until the next opportunity...
HAVE ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS !
