If you're currently in Paris and love art, there are two exhibits you might overlook...and you'd be sorry to miss them.

The first just opened today: Van Gogh et le Japonisme: Van Gogh's paintings inspired by Hiroshige. Paintings of Van Gogh's I've never seen before, mostly from the last two years of his life, owned by a museum in the Netherlands; and a huge array of Hiroshiges and some of his contemporaries. It's just glorious. At the Pinqcothèque 28 Place Madeleine Metro: Madeleine. This show will be there until March 17.

The second show is at the Fondation Cartier , 261 Blvd. Raspail (14th arr. Metro: Raspail) It'scalled Histoires de voir: Show and Tell and presents the works of over 50 painters and sculptors from around the world. They have often been considered as "outsider" artists and have rarely been exhibited. It is an amazing show and it closes Oct. 21.

Enjoy!

If you're already at the Pinacotheque there is a Hiroshige show going on, too. I usually dislike shows at this venue, but this one really intrigues me.

We really liked Adel Abdessemed at Centre George Pompidou -- not to covet, but to have our thoughts provoked. Also, of course, Edward Hopper at Grand Palais -- but buy your tickets online in advance, a good tip for any show.

The Van Cleef and Arpels retrospective at the Musee des Arts Decoritifs is fabulous. There is also a special exhibit at the D'Orsay called Impressionism and Paris Fashion. it also was very good.
