Renoir portrait of Bizelle, Bizelle portrait of Renoir Caption: Last month, I went to see the French Impressionism exhibit in San Francisco. Needless to say, it was fantastic. These two paintings were hung next to each other. I remember reading something there about their relationship and whatnot and G-d help me... but I want me some fic of those two. Do I really need to explain why this is a secret? I can't believe fandom has gotten so much into my everyday life that I'm starting to ship not only these two but Emily Dickinson/Susan Gilbert and Pilate's Wife/Mary Magdalene {I don't get it either}. Someone, please get my slash goggles the fuck off.

(from this fandom secrets post)

This secret made me so happy, because I had a really great time when I saw this exhibit with my aunt and grandmother a couple of months ago. My aunt and I spent the whole exhibit nattering about how delightful the relationships were and giggling at the contemporary reactions (the use of dappled light in The Swing was "obscene"). I would totally read any Impressionists, together and separately, being Tragic Little Rich Boys rebelling against the establishment in their flannels and ties.

We're going to see the Post-Impressionists in a few weeks and I am VERY excited. My aunt does the best art museum snark.
