We saw a fascinating sculpture exhibit of Picasso ‘s work at MOMA. It is described as ” the least familiar of Pablo Picasso’s work. It occupies the entire fourth floor of the museum and features more than 150 sculptures organized chronologically. It aims to advance the understanding of what sculpture was for Picasso and how he revolutionized its history through a lifelong commitment to constant reinvention. ”

Bronze Sleeping Eros

There is so much to see at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York that I didn’t have any problem gathering loads of photos and information to share on my blog. I mentioned a few months ago that I have a desire to learn to sculpt so I was so happy to see this special exhibit that the Met had of Sleeping Eros, a bronze statue of Greek origin from the Hellenistic period dating to the 3rd-2nd Century B.C. It is said to be from Rhodes. It is amazing that it has survived in such good shape. You can see the wonderful detail in the work. Read more about this exhibit here.

I still plan to show my favorite from the Fashion exhibit but it will be tomorrow. 🙂

For several years now I have wanted to learn to sculpt. But I haven’t had any luck finding a class or instructor in my area so I just decided to give it a go myself. Last night while watching tv I started playing with this sculpting clay that I had and just kept working til this dog came out. 🙂 I think I would really like sculpting if I had the right materials. I am hoping to get some soon and try to do a few more pieces. I would really like to have some instruction and then I just want to play with it for a while. But for a first attempt I kind of like it!

Dog Pees on Museum

Richard Jackson’s “Bad Dog”

It’s not every day that you see a giant dog peeing on a museum. But that is exactly what is happening right now at the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach thanks to Richard Jackson’s sculpture “Bad Dog”. Check it out here. I love dog art and have collected it for years but I think this giant piece would be frowned upon in my neighborhood. 🙂 And I’m sure this is something my Jed would NEVER do.
