Postcards from NYC: Guggenheim

Do I look excited to visit?😹
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Construction began in 1956, finishing in 1959.
Both the patron and the architect died during this time.

Postcards from NYC: MoMA

 The Museum of Modern Art has so many iconic pieces of artwork, that my jaw hung open at every gallery.

I minored in Art History in college, and I saw these pieces as static slides projected against the classroom wall.

To stand in front of them, in real life, breathing the same air as they did...well, it was exciting and humbling.

Each of these were produced at pivotal times in the lives of the artist, and for the art world.

A few ultra special images:

"Christina's World"
Andrew Wyeth

"The Persistence of Memory"
Salvador Dali

"Unique Forms of Continuity in Space"
Umberto Boccioni

Water Lilies
6' 6 1/2" x 19' 7 1/2" (199.5 x 599 cm)
Claude Monet

"Broadway Boogie-Woogie"
Piet Mondrian

"Starry Night"
Vincent Van Gogh

"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon"
Pablo Picasso

"Campbell's Soup Cans"
Andy Warhol

Postcards from NYC: Central Park

While I was away, Julie earned her angels wings.
Too sad.
Please leave a kind word at Mickey's Musings.

😿

We walked and rambled through Central Park every day last week; it was always a delight, being a feast for the eyes.

We walked miles along the paths, enjoyed the dog walkers with their pups, and my sister and I had really great conversations while making our way around.

Although it was brisk, our exercise kept us warm.

And at no time did we feel unsafe while there.
