MoMA

Here are some photos that I have been meaning to post.

On March 27 friends and I went to the Museum of Modern Art to see the Tim Burton Exhibit (which has since ended). The Burton exhibit was awesome - so great to see items from his movies as well as his many drawings - but unfortunately, there was no photography allowed. The photo above - Toxic Boy - was the only Burton image I came away with.

Besides Burton, I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy MoMA, since I consider myself not a fan of modern art. Well, I was wrong because I was wrong about what is considered modern art. I really enjoyed seeing many of the paintings that I've always loved (particularly Van Gogh's "The Starry Night").

OK, on to the images...

There was an exhibit of Monet's Water Lilies:



This, part of a performance art exhibit, was titled "Unspoken Communication". Or, as I like to call it, "Staring Contest":



People admiring Picasso's "Les Demoiselles":



Admiring a sculpture piece:



One of my favorites, Andrew Wyeth's "Christina's World":



And finally, Van Gogh's "The Starry Night", probably my favorite painting of all (probably):
