Question

After having a vision of “cosmogonic ecstasy” in one of these places, one artist declared it “the Centre of the Universe” and painted the figures from Millet’s (“MILL-ayz”) The Angelus surrounding it. An abstract depiction of one of these places centres on the orange numbers “6, 9, 4, 3”. A (15[1])1965 Salvador Dali painting depicts one of these places in Perpignan (“PAIR-pin-yon”). One of these places is depicted in the sections “The Farewells,” “Those Who Go” and “Those Who Stay” in Umberto Boccioni’s (“boh-CHO-neez”) triptych (*) States of Mind. The first of two paintings titled The Melancholy of Departure depicts one of (10[1])these buildings, one of many empty examples of them painted by Giorgio (10[1])de Chirico (“KEE-rih-koh”). Early modern art up to 1914 is hosted in a former one of these buildings in Paris, the Musée d’Orsay. For 10 points, name this type of place depicted in Monet’s Gare Saint-Lazare (“GAHR san lah-ZAHR”) series. ■END■
