Degas’ Millinery Shop
A new show opened yesterday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. I WANT TO GO! Of course, I do. 🙂 It takes a look at the role of fashion in the work of the impressionist painters. It should be fascinating as that work takes place in the mid to late 1800’s when fashion was amazing. One of my favorite Degas paintings, “The Millinery Shop” is in the show. Hats like these are glorious. The wonderful thing about these special exhibits is that some wonderful curator has pulled together paintings from wonderful museums all over the world and put them in one place for us to see. This show features works from The Art Institute of Chicago, The Boston Museum of Fine Art, The Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, The Museum Folkwang in Essen and several others. Some of these paintings have never traveled to the United States. That is the ingenious things about these shows. And we get to see it. Did I mention I WANT TO GO! 🙂 You can see more about the show by clicking here.
