01-28-13 Orientation

I couldn't resist posting one more High Art Museum (Atlanta) interior. Like the other one, I think that this photo shows one of the reasons I like most art museums: there is great light and warm wooden floors (that often creak when you walk on them.)

09-04-12 I Like Frank

This is certainly not the first time I've posted a photo of Frank, by Chuck Close. One of the more interested illicit uses of one of my photos from this blog involved Frank (click here to read a tale of theft and Creative Commons copyright misdeeds).Finally, this is not the first art gallery photo. In fact art galleries are one of my favorite places to take pictures. Why not take a few minutes to look at a few of my gallery interiors? Just click here.And, as long as I've gone overboard with links in this post, here's the one art gallery post in this blog that I like the most.

03-24-12 He's Watching Us

I've returned to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. And I've taken another photo of Frank, by Chuck Close.

The Quiet Gallery

The African Gallery

Just beyond the pottery featured in yesterday's post I encountered this scene. Maybe it's not at special as I think it is, but I liked how the human on the left complemented the figure on the right. It results in symmetry that would be absent with the standing woman. This was taken at the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Fixed Orbits

In this case I was confronted by this collection of pottery at the beginning of the museum's African collection. The spherical shape and the brilliant arrangement of these pots reminded me of circling planets. Thus the title of today's post.
