At At the Palace
Following a private tour of the Gore Place, our guide said he was certain we would enjoy visiting the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. He was right.
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Detail from Seacoast at Trouville (Claude Monet; 1881)
Detail from Summer Night’s Dream (The Voice) (Edward Munch; 1893)
Detail from Ravine (Vincent Van Gogh; 1889)
I Dreamed I Could Fly (Jonathan Borofsky; 2000) put me in mind of the ceremony in the cheesy but frightening sci-fi flick Logan’s Run.
Detail from Jackson Pollock’s Mural (1943)
An Olmec mask
Detail from Double Portrait (Max Beckmann; 1946)
Rose Art Museum
Untitled. Pieter Vermeersch. 2017.
It reminds me of Anselm Kiefer’s Midgard (1982-85).
Both works are by German artists.
Aren’t we all?
Detail from a charming poster near the museum entrance.
Hand copied
That gives new meaning to “pressed into my commonplace book,” eh? I get hook-hand while writing thank-you notes, so it’s hard for me to imagine copying an entire book.
The image was taken at the Lost Valley Visitor Center’s “19th Century Scientists” exhibit.
Reclining woman
My photo of “Reclining Woman” by Fernand Léger (1922).
