Impromptu Art
In a weird way, it makes sense. Public art, created by the people, just outside Canada’s National Gallery. When you are inside the gallery you are required to wear a sticker that shows you have paid the admission fee. Each day the sticker is a different color – that way people are less likely to […]
Degenerate Art?
You’ve probably said it yourself. “I may not know much about Art, but I know what I like.” I don’t spend much time in art galleries. I come away feeling I haven’t gotten as much out of them as I should. Do you ever feel that way? As if the art experts are part of […]
Public Art
Came across this sculpture in a park in Lippstadt, Germany. Not quite sure what it is supposed to represent. The plaque at the base didn’t help me either. It indicates the art is a friendly loan from a fellow citizen, and then names the person. If I had one of these taking up space in […]
Mesmerized
A photo essay for you today. These sculptures caught my eye outside the Mesmer Gallery in Riegel when we visited last July to see the Dali exhibition they had at the time. I figured you would like something colorful for this grey winter day. (If you haven’t had a chance yet to answer my mini-survey […]
Another Art Exhibit
I don’t think I knew there was an art gallery inside the Markgrafler Museum in Mullheim. Then again, many days I am unsure of just what I know. I chalk it down to trying to live in my third (or fourth if you count Latin) language. The art gallery is the middle floor of the museum, […]
Dabbling In Dali
It’s a cliché to say, “I may not know much about art, but I know what I like.” In my case it’s not completely true either. I’m no art expert, but over the years I have accumulated a fair bit of knowledge. Having some friends who paint for a living probably helps – we all […]
A Random Picture
I can’t remember why I took a photo of this sculpture, which, if I remember correctly, was in front of the Colosseum in Rome. My first thought is that I was jet-lagged. My second one is that with a digital camera I am not as discriminating as I should be since I don’t have to […]
The National Gallery
I had been walking around central London for about three hours, just drinking in the atmosphere. Wandering through Trafalgar Square I noted that admission to the National Gallery was free. I don’t usually mind paying for museums and similar attractions, not even the inflated places some of them charge. I know it costs money to […]
I Couldn’t Resist This One
I wonder if it tastes better without gluten.
Your Monday Morning Smile
At least I hope you smile at this one. I know I did.
