Stieglitz and His Artists: Metropolitan Museum of Arts

Another art show which I went while ago.

Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties: Brooklyn Museum

The exhibition ended in January 29th. It showed the collection of artworks in US between WWI and Great Depression. It wasn't all about masterpeaces, but more about dipicting a particuler time period in history it was indeed a rare occasion, and it was interesting to see different thoughts of arts, reflecting what was the moods in the air and what was the people's aspirations. It was not allowed to take picture, unfortunatelly.

MoMA: from permanent collection, just a few which cought my eye 3

How the world end according to the bible. Exstatic, fearful and  intense

 I had never heard of this painter, this picture cought my eye. I did a bit research.
Thompson was an african american paiter born in 1937 in Luisville. He moved to NY, mingled with Jazz musicians, moved to Italy and study old paintings, took a lot of heroin which eventually took his life in 1966. Died so young.

I wonder if his talent of seeing a intense view in life was way too strong and flushey for his own good...

 From  "Architecture and Design" collection, Viennese Sessessionist desgin

Something so subtle makes the design so delicate and warm...you just can't make it up.

So perfect, a universe within.
