Love Is In the Air

Core Creative at the Louvre

As much as we love contemporary art at Core Creative, February brought with it a visit to Paris and the Louvre and a search for something more romantic.

The Mona Lisa has never really grabbed me, however the Neo-Classic masterpieces of Jacques-Louis David can’t help but leave you mesmerised. Its left me craving for more Neo-Classic and Pre-Raphaelite art and several months later I find my very contemporary book collection being infiltrated by some fascinating discoveries.

There’s no denying this period of art takes you somewhere contemporary art can’t (the past!) and it is refreshing to balance those bleak white installations with some romanticism, even if most of the pieces to involve a battle!
