Carrock, Cordelia's grandfather, has something to say on Parisian art.

Some of which wasn't even in France, or at the Musée de Jeu de Paume ....

Exposition d'Art Canadien by J.E.H. MacDonald.

Exposition d'Art Canadien, 1927.
By J.E.H. MacDonald....  
 
Cordelia says: Carrock says:  
   
Since it has been here since 1927,
it is clearly an illustration that
it is a scientifically ept poster.
The ships on it show
that the Canadians are intent on
invading, and subduing, France. 
 
 
 
 
 

Women in the Garden by Claude Monet, 1867

Women in the Garden, 1867
By Claude Monet....  
 
Cordelia says: Carrock says:  
   
The one on the left looks
somewhat domineering;
although her dress is the worst.
But who is that creature with
the flowers?
Young ladies behaving
like young ladies. 
 
 
 
 
 

Family Reunion, 1867

Family Reunion, 1867
By Jean-Frédéric Bazille....  
 
Cordelia says: Carrock says:  
   
This is tedious! This is rather like
my family's reunion at
the Gare du Nord.
And that rather looks like
myself behind the ladies
on the right. But it
is not, because I am
somewhat more discreet
than that!
 
 
 
 
 

Peasant Girl with a Stick, 1881

Peasant Girl with a Stick, 1881
By Camille Pissarro....  
 
Cordelia says: Carrock says:  
   
She has a stick! Annnnd
....drum beat....
she's a peasant!
This really is tedious!  
 
 
 
 

Dance in the City, 1863

Dance in the City, 1863
By Renoir....  
 
Cordelia says: Carrock says:  
   
I like Renoir;
and Renoir likes me!
He had better watch
for sneaky communists.
 
 
 
 
 

Camille  (the Lady in the Green Dress), 1866

Camille, or the Lady in the Green Dress, 1866
By Claude Monet....  
 
Cordelia says: Carrock says:  
   
It is a nice blue-green
dress. So why does she
look so sour?
Madame Monet
should think of the royalties....
