At times, I was surrounded by a herd of people that wouldn't let me take some of the photos I wanted. I only have so much patience, and it ran out a couple of times. Unfortunately, I did not get the name of this painting or that of the artist's, but I find it so striking! (I couldn't enlarge the photo enough to decipher the text by the art.)

This concludes the second part of our virtual tour. I hope you're enjoying it because the third and final part will arrive next Wednesday!
Thank you so much. Love this art and am thinking of the work that went into creating it. Too bad you had limitations. What a terrific museum.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love this museum. There is so much to see and experience.
DeleteI absolutely love these photos and the art in them, Cathy! This art is so alive, and all the little details fit together so beautifully. And there's painstaking attention to even the smallest detail. It's uplifting.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is.
DeleteWonderful. Just wonderful. Once again, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Dorothy. I hope you're feeling better.
DeleteOne of my favorite people in 2023 was the woman who asked a couple to move their conversation a few feet to the side to stop blocking the gorgeous staircase that several of us were waiting to photograph. So I definitely empathize with your patience running out in some cases.
ReplyDeleteThose raven masks are just stunning.
I would love to shake that woman's hand! (I got a photo of those gorgeous raven masks in which it looks like Denis is wearing one of them. I almost posted it.)
DeleteThe button blanket! Amazing crafting work.
ReplyDeleteIn many ways, that button blanket was my favorite of the entire exhibition.
