Museums of France

France is home to a wealth of cultural institutions, and they're finally making some gems from their museum collections available online through Artsy. No more must we wade through byzantine web design and tricky language barriers to access these awesome works.

Georges Rousse

Georges Rousse - The Durham Project

Occassionally, Visual Resources is challenged by the limited availability of an artist's work. The French artist and photographer Georges Rousse is one of those artists, but the link below is an excellent source for learning more about the Durham Project. We hope you will explore this to better understand the artist's work and how he creates.
