Hello again.

Chihuly has lots of great/beautiful glass blown sculptures.

It's just that the one I posted is a familiar fixture in the Bellagio.

Yes it is awesome.

Someone's an impressionist fan. (well technically Van Gogh isn't...)

to Tiger, I remember they're selling those big coffee table books in Barnes on Klimt and or was it just art noveau in general, last time I stopped by it. My ex gf she did that pic you posted but she did it with watercolor. I was impressed.

This one is my favorite sculpture, a baroque marble by the famed Italian master, who if I recall (I didn't read the book but I watched the movie), whose works were featured in Angel's and Demon's.

This one is my favorite, I think I wrote a poem for it a long time ago. It's from the Metamorphosis (Ovid).

Your so lucky. Egyptian culture is really fascinating. I would love to see a King Tut exhibit too. Just be careful not to touch anything, or accidentally bring anything from the exhibit back home with you. Because there's supposedly this curse that falls on whoever takes anything form Tut's tomb, so when people visit his tomb in Egypt, the tour guides ask the visitors to remove their shoes and make sure they don't even accidentally take sand with them. Enjoy your exhibit. =)

This painter is one of the more popular and eccentric painters I like, esp. of the period. I took a class on the Interwar Period and I was enamored by the introduction of the theme of the time (Dada, avant-gard, art deco). His works along with other Euro painters 'personified' the period's gloom and disenchantment with modernity. Along with reading postmodern books (Nietszche and Heidegger) I think my junior year in college is about surrealist art.

This one is not really his most popular, but my most favorite from him. It's not really 'interwar' either (it was painted postwar). I think it's one of the better interpretation of beauty. Aptly named as well.

Galatea of the Sphere- (Salvador) Dali


This one is his most popular, but not necessarily the one I liked the best. I only like it out of its theme: it's reminiscent of the Freud's work about remembering (makes it even more postmodern).

Every time I see it, I think of the quote (I'm sure it's from Freud, but it could be Nietszchean) that it's the society/state's job to make people remember (ie laws).

Is this the Jackson Pollock in the museum in Vegas? Can't take my eyes off it. Abstract Expressionism, you totally get it when you see it in person. Pollock invented a new way of painting.
If you guys get a chance to be in LA , don't miss the MOMA and the Getty Center. They have numerous examples. I miss the museums in New York , we didn't have time.

I think that one was Jackson Pollock's Number One

The Getty Center is free admission. J. Paul Getty's legacy, the center is itself a work of art to me. Richard Meier is the architect and he really used natural lighting to the fullest.

OT, So is this the No. 5? To be honest, I can't tell, but when you see these paintings you can see that Pollock was in the "zone" when he created them. The Getty Center has pre-20th century art while the MOMA is of course modern art including photography.

I like Kandinsky and O'Keefe because of the colors. I have posters of their work in my house. I also have posters of Gauguin's South Pacific paintings. They remind of the Philippines especially the La Orana Maria.
