I don't think he did the work for Alcest, no.

Moris, have you seen Art Nouveau stuff in Europe? And, are there Art Nouveau monuments/artworks in Croatia? There quite a lot of stuff in Romania. The most interesting art news is the discovery of 271 unknown works of Picasso in France. They belong to his former electrician, who supposedly received them for doing various jobs for the artist. However the Picasso estate thinks no one can receive that many gifts, and are preparing to sue him. I guess they think he stole them? Anyway, you can see a few of the works in the image gallery in this link. They're pretty much top quality.

These Picasso works are great! I see there are a few from his early period too.

Speaking of Art Nouveau, everywhere I've been there's at least some building worth seeing...even in Dublin. I'm not much of a traveler, but needless to say, I was fascinated by Budapest...there's some surprisingly great stuff in Italy too.

As for my country , yes, there's plenty of it, but there are not too many photos on the web, and most of them just won't do justice.

Here's one.



Here's a a tomb from the old cemetery in my town:




And some other visual art:

You're in Paris?

That's cool too. There's a Messerschmidt exhibition at the Louvre, which is why I asked.

Someone who just died today used to say that Lisbon is the best place in Europe.

Wow, you're so global!

I must confess I didn't go to see the Messerschmidt exhibition, I didn't seem that interesting to me. Must be because indeed I know nothing of the guy, for a long while I thought it's probably an exhibition about German aviation. :)

I'm looking forward to this spring, and I'll post these days a list of the exhibitions around. There's a huge Manet that just opened at the Grand Palais, one about Rome and idealized landscape in classical art also at the Grand Palais, a Cranach & his times exhibition at the Luxembourg Museum, Tony Cragg at the Louvre, some fairly interesting but not outstanding contemporary art and photography exhibitions and, most importantly, we're waiting for the opening of Anish Kapoor's instalation at the Grand Palais (this a thing similar to the annual installation at Tate's Tubine Hall).
