Blog 26: New York City - 

Guggenheim, Central Park And Night Harbor Cruise

NYC Architecture Is Changing - 
More Modern, Cutting Edge Designs
Coupled With "The New..."
...Older Buildings Get Spruced Up A Bit



 "Dining" At Grand Central Station

Guggenheim - An Architectural Gem


An Opportunity To Enjoy, Ponder...Or Not



We Appreciate All Types of Art










But, We Tend To Gravitate... 


           To The Classical, Older Genre - 
                        Arlene Did This Painting
                            Her First And Last - 1976
It's Interesting The Actual Artist That Applied Paint To Canvass (And Is Recognized As "A Genius" Contradicts Someone Designing A Great Looking Frame And Gets Little Or No Notoriety!

An International Manga Exhibition (Japanese Cartoons) Was Taking Place - The Building Was Packed

One Of a Kind Exhibit: Judy Chicago's - The Dinner Party

Each Plate (And Setting) Refers To A Woman That Made A Significant Contribution During The Era In Which She Lived





Virginia Wolf And Sojourner Truth

Museum Of Modern Art -  To Balance Things Out

We Had A Private Tour Before The Museum Opened

A Highly Complex "Tapestry" Requiring The Viewer To Spend time, To See And Understand This Awash Of Color Is More Than Meets The Eye

Plenty Of Great Picasso's

 

Strong, Dramatic - Unlike Most Of Picasso's Work

This Piece Is One Of Our Favorites

Thomas Hart Benton - An Example Of "Americana" Or The Regionalist Art Movement Emphasizing Everyday Life

Andrew Wyeth's Character Is A Real Person With Physical Problems -- Who Chose To Be Independent. She Rather Crawl To Her Home Than Being Carried

Grant Wood - Famous For... 
America Gothic - 



Starry, Starry Night! Why Not Some Van Gogh?

Attention To Detail - Tree Placement And Boulders Help To Focus The Viewer's Eye

One Of The More Famous Chagall's Paintings Of His Home Life 

Apparently, The Child's Mother Recognized Her Daughter Has Talent - Encouraged Her To See, Copy And Learn

Matisse And Friends - All The Great Ones Are At The Museum

Why Not!?! - Who's To Say What Is "Art" And What "Belongs" In A Museum, or Not?

Lunch At Central Park's, "The Boat House"
 This Beautiful And Serene Scene Reminded Us Of...
Boat Paintings By... 

...Renoir, Cassatt And Manet

We Checked Off One Of The Activities On "Our Wish List": Walking In Central Park

Getting Ready For A NYC Harbor Cruise

We Were Fortunate. Rain From The Florida Hurricane Cleared

It Was A Beautiful, Crystal Clear Evening
Great Skyline
Jerry Played Around With His i-Phone Creating This Perspective

The Great Lady!

What Better Way To Bring To A Close Our Time In Europe And New York. Looking Back, There Were Wonderful And Exciting Excursions. People We Met Provided Lasting Relationships. Things We Learned Were The Best. However, Spending Time In The Hudson River Valley Reminded Us There Is So Much More To See And Learn In Our Own Country. It's Time To See And Explore Other Parts Of America!

The End...
