Dreams and reality

The Clairvoyant and I went to the National Museum of Singapore yesterday to view the works featured in the Dreams and Reality exhibit from the Musee D'Orsay Paris. Such works of art include those by such celebrated artists as Pissarro, Degas, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and Cezanne.

Following are photos of the artwork on display. I will be updating this post quite often as I place captions on each of the photos to identify the work and the artist.
