At MOMA

Back to MOMA

I went back to MOMA today. I was going to the Guggenheim but felt there was more to see at MOMA. There is a paper exhibition on there which is so good I could look at it for a week. I am going back tomorrow with camera. (There goes my visit to the Met).

I also managed to get to the American Museum of Folk Art which had a stunning exhibition of Kaleidoscope quilts by Paula Nadelstern and so many beautiful objects.

The Drawing Center and MOMA etc

Last night I finally had time to digest my experience at Ragdale. I think that it has resulted in a new drawing based approach to my practice. Before I left Brisbane I had been exploring painted geometric form and pattern but I think that I have now developed new techniques which will be line based to produce two and three dimensional works.

Today I went to an exhibition of work by the German surrealist artist and author Unica Zurn at the Drawing Centre. The works were beautiful delicate finely balanced images with elaborative patterning.

I then went to MOMA and saw another wonderful drawing based exhibition tangled alphabets, the works of South American Artists Leon Ferrari and Mira Schendel. I was so good that I am planning to go back maybe tomorrow.

I also got to see works by Barnett Newman and Agnes Martin among others.

Only in America

i had to blog! I just heard this on an ad on TV. 'Hebrew National Hot Dogs. We answer to a higher authority.' What a motto.

Surrender

I know I have to give up flower shots and get this blog back on track but how could I resist this?
