My View Of The World
For this Saturday I thought I would go WAY back to my analog photo days of 1986. About eight winters ago I spent what seemed like an eternity scanning the dozens of photo albums to put them in digital format. This is one of them. I know it was taken in 1986 but don’t know where?
Even if it is a low resolution picture, I think it is one of my favorites.
I have come to appreciate the work of modern sculptures. I ran across these by James Campbell entitled “Birth Becomes You” recently at the John Waldron Arts Center in Bloomington Indiana. I plan to go back more for the monthly exhibits. (click on an image to see a larger view)
I thought for this Saturday I would give you a painting I found at the Pennsylvania State Museum a few years ago. Anyone who has been in the eastern part of that State knows it is “Amish Country” and this folksy painting depicts it perfectly.
Last Wednesday I presented you with the glass gallery I discovered at the Ft. Wayne Museum of Art. This week I want to show you the other pieces of modern art I found there. Let me know what you think? Enjoy…
I was recently at the Ft. Wayne Museum of Art and came across a fabulous collection of glass. If I remember right it was on loan from the New York Museum of Modern Art. I have always been fascinated by glass art and this was the best I have seen.
I can’t leave you with just one example so here is a gallery of other pieces. Click on any pic to see a larger view.
I know I have put the above photo here before but I just think it deserves a Saturday artsy posting all by itself. It was taken in Montreal Canada in 2011. There was a second one just down the block. Yes, it is a real house but not an x-ray view. 🙂
I am definitely a SciFi guy. I love watching almost anything in that genre. The Mad Max movies and that type of doomsday stuff is neat but I really get off on the things that show humanity on a positive note. I guess that maybe started with “Robbie the Robot” in the 1956 film Forbidden Planet. By the time the Jetsons cartoon series rolled around I was totally hooked. I just love thinking about future possibilities.
