\nIt’s been a bit of a difficult summer for me, mainly because of ongoing back problems and health issues with my mother-in-law. As a result, I’ve not produced much artwork, nor have I taken on new clients or done much by the way of “work.” However, I am trying to keep myself focused by doing small things for myself, such as photography, short trips, and a recent Blurb book project that I’ll write about in another post.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was a perfect weather day, and I thought a good time to go to Princeton. I live close by, yet I hardly take advantage of it. My mom came over, and I took her with me. The hour plus we spent at the museum, even with the bat that was flying around (and not part of any exhibits!) was a lovely diversion.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"
\nThis a small sampling of photographs is from an exhibit called Bernice Abbott: Changing New York. The photos were taken during the Great Depression and “became a chronicle of New York city during this period of architectural and cultural metamorphosis.”<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAnother view, mainly to show the many pieces of this collection on display.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe exhibit called Encounters Conflict, Dialogue, Discovery <\/em>is on view through September 23rd. It’s a collection of work in which every piece “embodies an encounter.” The 18th century marble statues in the front are attributed to the Flemish Jan Claudius De Cock.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe works above are by Yinka Shonibare, a British born artist, and the pieces are called The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe piece above is by Liu Guosong, a Chinese born artist, and called Full Moon<\/em>. It’s made up of five hanging scrolls of ink and color on paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe piece on the left is by Claes Oldenburg, American, born in Sweden, and called B Tree (For Alfred Barr)<\/em>. It’s graphite with blue pencil and white gouache on white wove paper. The photographs on the right by American born Lee Friedlander and called Lake Park, Milwaukee<\/em>, Tarrytown, NY<\/em>, Middlesex Falls, MA<\/em>, and Central Park, NYC<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThese are works from part of the Museum’s modern art collection. The white plaster figure is called Woman on White Wicker Rocker<\/em> by American artist George Segal. The collection of work on the wall is by American artist Jim Dine and is called The Art of Painting, No. 2<\/em>. Yes, those are various tool suspended from the paintings.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAnother view in the same room. The work on the back right wall\u00a0 is by Joseph Albers.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis is from the Japanese, Edo Period, 1600-1868, and the piece is titled Tigers and Bamboo<\/em>. It’s a six-fold screen with ink and gold on paper.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFor Derry, who is a big Roy Lichtenstein fan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This oil and enamel painting is by American artist (born in the Netherlands) Willem De Kooning and is called Black Friday<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A close up of Lee Friedlander’s work.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nA close up of a sculpture attributed to Jan Claudius de Cock.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI love the pose and expression of this Chinese piece from the Southern Song dynasty, 1127-1279, called Guanyin Seated in Royal-ease Pose<\/em>. It’s part of the Museum’s collection of Asian art.<\/p>\n

\nMom smiling!!<\/p>\n
