Today,
Natalya and I went to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the Matisse exhibition, Matisse: In Search of True Painting. But before we could even step a foot into the gallery, we were sidetracked by these beauties along the way:
 |
Tent Divider (Te Saqwit); Sudan, Beja peoples; 19th - 20th century;
Cotton, leather, beads, cowrie, shells, palm leaf
|
 |
Ceremonial wrapper (Dodot Bangun Tulak Alas Alasan); Indonesia; Central Java;
19th - early 20th century; Cotton, gold leaf, adhesive
|
 |
Olga De Amaral, Colombian; "Alquimia XIII", Wall Hanging, 1984
Linen, rice paper, gesso, indigo red and gold leaf
|
 |
"Peacock" Chair, 2009, Dror Benshetrit, Israeli
Felt with powder varnish, metal base |
Aren't these gorgeous? Oh, I could spend days wandering the great halls of the Met.
But, I've been sidetracked again. The next post will be about the Matisse exhibition including a brief, informal sidebar with the curator (so cool!).
