Painting is definitely not dead.

proggrrlSo I made it to The Met on Saturday afterall.
As always, the Met’s permanent collection of 20th Century modern painting makes me week in the knees. I made a beeline to an old favorite of mine, this Dali, which happily resides in a room surrounded by other surrealist work by Ernst and Tanguy, as well as sketches and small sculptures by Giacometti.
This time around a couple of Picasso’s I hadn’t seen before really caught my attention, as well as this by Klimt. (btw there is a Klimt exhibition running at the Neue Galerie till next summer for you fans of his gorgeous intricate portraits.)
(touch the above shot for a bigger, more detailed version)
Before I left the Met I also stumbled into this small but intense little exhibit on Studio Crafts, which is right next to the modern art wing. Every piece in that room is worth a few minutes of careful inspection. Really wonderful stuff if you like ceramics, woodworking, glassblowing, and textile arts.
Two weekends ago I stopped by the Whitney Museum. The Rudolf Stingel show was fantastic, it’s over now unfortunately. But check him out if you ever have the chance, I thought his pieces really dance on the edge of painting & sculpture in a completely timely fashion…and loved his brocade “wallpaper” works. Here are some photos I stole from this great audio/video essay on the exhibit, which gives a run down of every type of work in the show. You can touch each photo to see it larger - keep in mind this sort of work, being so much about texture, dimension and interaction with room lighting, doesn't really come across well in photographs.
The same can be said of Mark Bradford’s canvases - playing with the border between painting and sculpture, he’s showing pieces that are composed of intricately layered paper, ink, paint, and twine, which have been sanded down to reveal…art. There is a gigantic Kara Walker exhibit there – her stunning full-room papercut installations must be seen. The Whitney also continues to restructure their permanent collection exhibits, and this time around I saw a bunch of 40s American modern paintings I’d never seen before (in the Modernisms exhibit), as well as a roomful of Calder’s fantastically airy and suggestive wire sculptures.
All in all, two great trips. Inspiring, soul-satiating. Now - back to work!

Date: 2007-10-23 01:59 pm (UTC)I've never seen that Klimt but as soon as I saw it I thought it had to be. I went to Vienna back in college and we were so disappointed that most of the Klimt's were out on tour. It was so sad. Rudolf Stingel, wow so very cool. I like the Styrofoam ones but I'm sure the wallpapers are amazing in person. I'm sure they are all amazing. Thanks for all the artistic food for my brain!!
I would love to see those Calder's. He is truly amazing.
And how exciting that you mention Kara Walker because I you know what? I know her! She was in grad school when I was in undergrad and she was dating one of my teachers (different department) and they got married. It's very cool to see someone achieve so much recognition and be able to say that she is actually a really nice person. Of course a few people I know said her speech at graduation a few years ago was kinda weird.
:) Thanks for sharing. this was truly inspiring! :)

Непосредственно в процессе берется лубрикант и в равных пропорциях смешивается с Titan gel. Неужели и в этот раз обманули. Титан Гель для мужчин очередной обман или нет. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2C3et6A5L4 Удачно подобранный состав Титан геля способствует удлинению полового акта во времени и бурному оргазму. Тайное желание сильного пола можно понять от длины и объема полового члена зависит удовольствие вашей партнерши, и несоответствие нормативам нередко превращается в настоящую катастрофу и крах сексуальной жизни. В этой комбинации и заложен ответ на вопрос, как пользоваться гелем Титан так, чтобы действительно достичь максимального эффекта. Данные о креме и отзывы на форуме о Титан геле окончательно убедили меня купить средство. Помогает повысить чувствительность полового члена.
