A favourite, always great to be able to see them in the flesh

Some were so small you could barely see them.  The museum offered magnifying glasses which were useful for the Songs of Innocence and Experience.

Yes, that's always an issue with his works. But if you do get up close they are marvellous.

It also means if the exhibition is busy it can make for a very frustrating time. I chose to miss the last Tate exhibition because I knew it would be too crowded

So I guess I am lucky to have bought an original size facsimile reprint in th 1970's. The (very small) publishing company even offered single leaf facsimiles for framing of which I bought two that have been on my bedroom wall ever since. He was an enlightened man.

Just got a free ticket for this tomorrow:

I am not sure when I last visited an art museum but it was probably MOMA in NYC. I was surprised when my wife suggested it but we went and enjoyed a lot of it. We’ve been to the Metropolitan museum a few times and saw the Vatican Museum in 2001.

I just ran down to Buffalo to see the Clyfford Still exhibit.  https://buffaloakg.org/art/exhibitions/clyfford-still-legacy-buffalo-0

This is a four room exhibit of all 33 Still paintings in the Albright-Knox collection.  It runs a few more weeks until March 11.  I was definitely glad to have an opportunity to see the museum now that is has expanded a bit with a new addition.

There is also another abstract painter on view, Stanley Whitney, but I must confess I was very underwhelmed by this exhibit: https://buffaloakg.org/art/exhibitions/how-high-moon

Planning to catch this new Met exhibition when I'm in New York next month:

The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism

Just closed, a magnificent exhibition at the Worcester Art Museum, Rembrandt: Etchings from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

I went three times. I will probably not see a collection like this again.

Should be great. Archibald Motley has always been a favorite of mine.

There was a comprehensive Motley exhibit that went around the States in 2014-5.  I managed to catch it at the Chicago Cultural Center.

It's documented here: https://whitney.org/exhibitions/archibald-motley#exhibition-catalogue

 

I was just in Montreal checking out a well thought-out exhibit that pairs Georgia O'Keefe and Henry Moore.  Really nice.  It runs through June 2.

Looking forward to seeing the Robert Ryman exhibit in Paris (Musée de l'Orangerie), this coming Sunday or next week. It's called "Le regard en actes" (more or less the view in action). First large scale exhibit of the artist in France since 1981.

Going to see a new Irving Penn Retrospective at the deYoung Museum here in SF next Friday. Should be amazing!

Elizabeth Frink at Dorchester Museum, lovely relatively small overview of her career. Well worth the trip out of London

Rothko exhibit here in Paris. A bit overwhelming given that you can get so absorbed in a single painting and there are hundreds. Well worth a visit.

One of the most insteresting German sculptors of our time. I love the simple and direct quality of his works.

I have tickets to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts on Wednesday. I don't think I've been in many decades. Looking forward to it.

I definitely considered it but spent more time at the Legion of Honor and the Japanese Prints in Transition exhibit instead.  https://www.famsf.org/exhibitions/japanese-prints
