Random-osity: More MOMA

More MOMA

One of the most amazing parts of the MOMA is its ever-changing collection. I feel like every time I have ever been there, new pieces are hanging on the gallery walls. I think something that makes MOMA so unique is that their collection spans the modern range. Monet to Pollock. Rothko to Rousseau.

This was the first time we saw Monet's Water Lillies up close and I have always loved Picasso's Three Musicians and to see that up close was so fun. The galleries are arranged in a linear progression and it's so fun to see how art has evolved over the decades.

Shelbee on the Edge said... {Reply}: Oh wow, Tamar, I want to go! The MOMA has Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon on exhibition! That is my favorite painting ever! I would love to see it in real life. I wrote an entire Philosophy thesis in college about voyeurism and did an extensive analysis of this particular Picasso piece as an illustration of it.

Linda said... {Reply}: I enjoyed this post. I love how the first one has a man sitting on furniture in front of a painting with furniture. I was glad to see Lewis Hine's photos represented in the photographs from a hundred years ago.

Unlike Shelbee, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is not on my list of favorites by Picasso. I suspect that he was mocking Cezanne's paintings of island women.

I've seen a number of Monet's water lilies painting in France and they are wonderful! A small reproduction is not the same at all, is it? We actually went to Giverny to see his garden and pond. Lovely place!; May 28, 2021 at 12:01 AM
