Visiting the Uffizi Gallery in Florence
We had a nice rainy day in Florence, before taking the train to Chiusi.
Museums
A Visit to the Katonah Museum to see Art by Women
At least women artists are starting to get some play in museums…
Pastel Show at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (with close up details)
You can see a majority of the paintings in the show in this post, along with many close-up details of the work. Work in the show included mostly Millet, some Cassatt (including her pastel box shown last below), and Degas, among others.
California Railroad Museum Photos
Sacramento was where the Transcontinental Railroad was born, and hence this museum is here.It is a lovely museum worth going out of your way for.
A Visit to the Isabella Gardner Museum
You do feel like you’ve stepped back in time here, and with modern Boston bustling beyond the walls, this place does slow you down to the pace of a previous era.
Photos from a Lovely Day at Yale in New Haven
You’ll notice that these photos I focused more on details of the day as abstract compositions in themselves…
Austin’s Blanton Museum and Ellsworth Kelly Form into Spirit Show
Enjoy my photos below of the Blanton Museum, the Ellsworth Kelly show, the architecture, and modern art. Visit this place when you can.
Houston’s Menil Museum (& Rothko Chapel) Photos
I really liked the Menil Museum in Houston. This one family’s very impressive collection; the daughter to the Schlumberger fortune (who made their money in the oil business), collected 17,000 pieces of early to mid 20th century artwork and artifacts.
Houston Museum of Fine Arts
Here are my photos from our visit to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. These were my favorites, and some include close-up photos of the brushwork.
House, Gardens, and Art at Hill-Stead Museum
If you haven’t seen this small gem, it is definitely worth the short amount of time it takes to see it. Check it out the next time you are traveling along 84 west of Hartford.
A Visit to the Yale University Art Galleries
Stop by this gem the next time you are in Connecticut near New Haven! You’ll be really glad you did!
Visiting the Cleveland Art Museum
I was delightfully surprised by how marvelous the Cleveland Art Museum is. They have one of my favorite Van Gogh paintings! Who knew?
Paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
I spent an enjoyable day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I went to the Seurat exhibit, which also highlighted his pointillistic buddies.
Variety and Wisdom from the National Shell Museum
When we were on Sanibel Island last March we enjoyed a trip to the National Shell Museum. If you are in the area, don’t miss it.
The New Whitney Museum
The current exhibit was a Frank Stella retrospective, and we also saw paintings from the permanent collection, including work by Edward Hopper, Georgia Okeefe, Amsel Adams, Stewart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Helen Franenthaler, etc.
