Have you ever been moved in front of a picture or to a statue? Which works have you transmitted you something when you have seen it to the museum or to an art show?

oh I am quite frequently moved by artworks I see...I must confess that I can quite admit I suffer from STENDHAL SYNDROME that is to say a sort of confusion and artistic ecstasy when staring at great artworks... I think one of the first time I was so moved inside when looking at something magnificient was when I have been in Florence for the first time...seeing such a great part of Italian artistic life in such a little space..wow was so thrilling and exciting I could not give up staring and smiling and feeling touched by the greatness of Renaissance artists...but then I felt like this when visiting the Louvre or Van Gogh Museum...or...I cannot express better what I feel..it is like crying because of happiness...it is wonderful...yes I am an art addicted....

I was very moved when I've seen Picasso's artworks for the first time. I was in a art show and I did'nt know that there were Picasso's works in this show... When I've seen one of his work I was very moved..

I think I would go into overload in Florence, and I have walked by the Louvre twice because I knew I could not devote enough time to it. I did get to go to the Museum d'Orsay and see my favorite impressionist art though.

I'd have to say that Monet's lilly in the water is the most beautiful painting I've ever seen in person. It was on loan at the Dallas Art Muesem.
