Here are a few pics of some of our favorite pieces. (the blurriness is due to the 'no flash'/low light policy at the museum)
Jean Dubuffet's 'Soul of the Underground' was one of Aimee's favorites. Her technique of using oil on aluminum is fascinating to look at up close.
Sam Hsieh is known for his one-year experiments. The one currently featured at the MoMA recaps his year of self-imposed solitary confinement. A friend came by each day to provide for his necessities and photograph him. The MoMA showcased the 365 photographs around the studio as well as a replica of his cell.
I was able to help Savannah's class a couple weeks ago with 'Meet the Masters'-a program to help elementary school kids become familiar with famous artists. That week Edward Hopper was highlighted. Below is 'Gas 1940.'
The MoMa had a great exhibit on Jasper Johns. Below is one of his most famous paintings. Seeing his work up close gives the work and his talent new meaning due to the intricate details they contain.
A great Frida Kahlo painting.
This gigantic Monet was as impressive as anything we saw. I believe he painted it when he was 81 and the size and mood it created was worth the visit to the museum alone.
We love Jackson Pollock. We felt privileged to see so many of his pieces.
One of a few great Mark Rothko's we saw.
Savannah would have loved to have seen this Van Gogh.

Nice post Brian. I don't know, I think like you're encroaching on my blogging territory.
i was totally thinking that while I was writing. I was like, "what would Viva Variety write?"
