More from the Wadsworth

February 5, 2016 at 9:56 am by Claudia

Ready for a picture heavy post? By popular request, I’m sharing more of the photos I took the other day at the Art Museum.

Here goes.

2-5 entrance gallery

This is the first gallery you see as you enter the museum. The lady in the foreground was a longtime employee of the museum and the artist Alex Katz made this in honor of her. It’s titled, “Margie.” There’s a photo of her standing next to the figure. (1971)

The figure in the background is made from rugs. “Sound suit” by Nick Cave (2009)

2-5 romaire beardon

In the same gallery, She-ba, by Romare Bearden (1970)

2-5 silhouettes

Silhouettes, cut from paper, by the artist Kara Walker. (2013)

2-5 dali

Salvador Dali – Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach (1938)

2-5 magritte

René Magritte – Les Intermittences du Coeur (The Fickleness of the Heart) (1950)

2-5 picasso

2-5 johnsingersargent

2-5 Monet beach

2-5 vangogh

2-5 Hals

2-5 portraitgallery

One of the portrait galleries.

The museum has a vast collection of American Decorative Arts, where I encountered some of my favorite designers:

2-5 eames

Charles and Ray Eames

2-5 marcelbreuer

Marcel Breuer

2-5 franklloydwright

Frank Lloyd Wright

2-5 stickley

Gustav Stickley

It’s an amazing and wondrous museum and if I get over there again before my stay here ends, I’ll take more photos, okay?

In the meantime, I’m supposed to go home tomorrow and we’re getting at least 6 inches of heavy, wet snow today. Do you sense a pattern here? If I decide to make the trip home…it snows.

Cross your fingers for me!

Happy Friday.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
