A few weekends ago I went into New York City with girlfriends. We found ourselves with a little extra time at MOMA (The Museum of Modern Art) and we wandered the galleries without any specific agenda. It was wonderful. I had forgotten how much gorgeous art is housed in MOMA. I'd like to share a few of my favorites, though the iPhone doesn't do the artwork justice:
 |
Pablo Picasso, Girl before a Mirror, Boisegeloup, 1932 -- on wall
Pablo Picasso, Head of a Woman, Boisegeloup, 1932 -- sculpture
(these just make me smile; what was Picasso like as a dinner guest, I wonder?) |
 |
Paul Cezanne, Still Life with Apples, 1895-98
(love how the scene fades to white in the upper left)
|
 |
Mark Rothko, No. 3/No. 13, 1949
(this positively glows -- I had no idea)
|
 |
Jasper Johns, detail of Flag, 1954-55
(the depth of brushstrokes is gorgeous)
|
 |
Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night, Saint Remy, June 1889
(luscious, luscious, luscious)
|
 |
Gustav Klimt, The Park, 1910 or earlier
(I just love all the colors of the foliage)
|
 |
Claude Monet, Agapanthus, 1914-26
(there's a wildness here that I'm so attracted to)
|
 |
Paul Gauguin, Still Life with Three Puppies, 1888
(I hadn't seen this before, but I love it)
|
And there you have it, a mini-MOMA masterpiece tour.
