The joy of the blog's history


Picture with an archer (detail)
by Vasily Kandinsky
1909

One of the great pleasures about writing a blog is that it
holds the history of where I've been, and what I've 
been interested in.  Today I looked at this day in 2010.
I had been in a show in New York City, and while
we were there had enjoyed visiting the MoMA. 
Such an amazing gallery. I was impressed by 
Vasily Kandinsky's bright colours.  I think the subject
matter escaped me.

Here's what I wrote in 2010:

"While we were in New York we visited the MOMA
(Museum of Modern Art) twice. As an artist with
an exhibit in New York City, I got a special artist's
membership for a bit more than the price of a one
time admission, so the second time I went in free.

What can I say? There was so much to see that was
wonderful in the MOMA. 

But one of the things that I liked was the painting
Picture with an archer by Vasily Kandinsky. I took
several close up pictures of the painting, trying to
capture its intensity and texture. (Photos were permitted.)
It completely entranced me. The colour was so rich,
I know no photograph can convey what I saw. But
check it out next time you're at the MOMA."

Wishing you a great Mother's Day weekend.

Have a loving your life day!
