Monumenta is a special exhibition in the nef of the Grand Palais under the 30 metre high glass roof. This year the invited artist is Buren and his creation is magic:
The immense room is full of colours, shapes ans reflections. There are 5 different sizes (tailles) of coloured discs supported by black and white posts; when the sun shines the colours are beautiful.
This is seen from above, from the staircase,
In the centre there are some circular mirrors which bring the ceiling (plafond) down to the floor (plancher), the reflections are curious.

A DRAWING - un dessin
By carolweb on Saturday, July 24 2010,
Something different:
It's a drawing (un dessin) by my grandson who is three years old! What is it? I've no idea; I'll have to ask him. At least he occupies all the space; there are circles (des ronds) and lines (des traits) that go up and down and he has chosen the colour red.
But perhaps I've got it upside down (à l'envers). No idea.
He picked a birthday card for me too:
Of course I'm not eight years old, but he liked the card and so do I. It represents the lavender fairy drawn by CICELY MARY BAKER, well known by the English. I loved them when I was a little girl, they are so beautifully painted and there are poems to go with them.
