Ne možete da je vidite. Mislim, možete da primite vizuelnu informaciju o njenom postojanju, obliku i bojama, ali Mona Lizu svakako nije moguće videti, osim ako se zavodoljavate letimičnim pogledom kroz gužvu dostojnu U2 koncerta. Nije mi prvi put u Parizu, ali jeste u Luvru. I ko god vam kaže da ne idete u Luvr ako idete na manje od nedelju dana u Pariz, potpuno je u pravu. Impozantan, kako u svojoj postavci i veličini, tako i u dužini reda ispred ulaza, ipak je znamenitost koja se ne sme zaobići. Mona Liza možda ne pruža vreme i mesto za kontemplaciju, ali zato možete zastati i uživati ispred mnoštva drugih Leonardovih dela. Moj plan za taj dan bila je lagana šetnja od renesanse, preko baroka do flamanskog slikarstva, ali moram priznati da su najveći utisak ostavila romantičarska platna Delacroixa i Gerricaulta - velike dimenzije i velike emocije pred kojima naprosto ne možete ostati ravnodušni. Pa onda sabiranje utisaka ispred, u Tuileries vrtu, uz šampanjac, trešnje, jagode i prijatelje.

You can’t see it. I mean, you can perceive it, get information on its very existance, shape and colour, but Mona Lisa is impossible to be seen, unless you are ready to settle for an accidental glance through a U2 concert-worthy crowd. This is not my first Paris trip, but it’s the first time I have enough time to visit Louvre. Whoever said you need to stay in Paris for at least a week to visit Louvre, was more than right. Impressive both when it comes to the gems in its collection and rows in front of the entrance, its definitely something you should not miss when in Paris. Mona Lisa might not give you a chance to stop and contemplate, but there’s plenty of other spots to take your moment and enjoy. Smooth walk from Renaissance and Baroque to Flemish painting was plan for the day, but Romanticists surely left the strongest impression. The heroes of Romantism, Delacroix and Gerricault, big both on emotions and canvas size, is simply something that cannot leave you indifferent. A perfect way to finish your visit is time spent in Tuileries, with champagne, strawberries, cherries and, of course – old friends.
Palais de Tokyo nije jedan od onih belih muzejskih prostora, koji se izvinjavaju i sklanjaju pred veličinom izloženih dela, već ravnopravan učesnik u dijalogu s njima. Izgrađen za svetsku izložbu 1937. godine, ovaj muzej savremene umetnosti skrivao je svoje čari skoro tri decenije, da bi novi život dobio posle rekonstrukcije završene u aprilu ove godine. Arhitekti Lacaton & Vassal prostor namerno ostavljaju nezavršen, nedorečen, kao da pozivaju umetnike na interakciju, brišući jasne granice između umetničkog dela i arhitekture. Brutalistički lep u svojoj sirovosti, skoro ranjivosti otkrivenog, mesto je na koje ću se sigurno vraćati. U to ime, treba obavezno popiti jedan
rosé na terasi Palais de Tokyo, s diskretnim, nikako previše turističkim pogledom na Ajfelov toranj.

Palais de Tokyo is not one of those overwhelming white exibition spaces, that have this almost apologetic relation to the art they contain, but an equal participant in the dialogue. Build in 1937 for the International Exibition of Arts and Technology, this contemporary arts museum hid its gems for almost three decades, until it was reopened in April 2012, after an overhaul by French architects Lacaton & Vassal. Their intention to leave the interior with the feel of unfinished works fine in function of inviting artists to interact with it, dissolving the strict boundaries between art and architecture. Beautiful in its raw brutalism and vulnerable because of what it shows what is usually hidden, surely is a place I will keep coming back. And I drink (rosé) to that, on a perfect terrace of Palais de Tokyo, with a subtle view over Eiffel tower.
