~Norton Simon Museum~ It's said to house a lot of impressionist art work, I am excited to go check this museum out. Also on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art at the Norton Simon Museum is, Vermeer's "Woman with a Lute" from July 08,2011- September 26, 2011.
[Edited to add: LACMA... Tim Burton Exhibit... a definite must! May 29–Oct. 31, 2011]
ION: Illustrator Dan Dos Santos, I love his illustrations!
It takes unique art to inspire me... and that is exactly what the sculptures on exhibit at the Huntington Library did. The exhibit, "Three Fragments of a Lost Tale -Sculpture and Story by John Frame", is a mysterious and eerily beautiful exhibition. It showcases photography, a stop-motion animated film and an amazing display of figurative sculptures. The exhibit ends June 27, 2011 and I am not sure if or where it will travel from there. If you have missed it I recommend looking up the artist John Frame and his unique art work.Want more on John Frame!
Three Fragments of a Lost Tale from John Frame on Vimeo. A small collection of William Blake prints will also be running until June 27, 2011 at the Huntington Library as well. This is titled, "Born to Endless Night: Paintings, Drawings, and Prints by William Blake Selected by John Frame."There are so many other works of art and excellent exhibits currently at the Huntington unfortunately I did not take many photographs on this visit but a return visit is soon to come.
(Excuse the quality of the photos they were taken with my a tablet. Photographs from my past visit can be found here.)
Mexico Exhibits: I visited various museums and fine art facilities during my last two trips south of the border. I wish I could have spent the entire day at each museum enjoying each art piece thoroughly but vacations are never long enough. Of course photographs will not give any of the art work justice however I hope these links will encourage you to visit Mexico and explore all the art and culture it has to offer.~MUNAL~Soumaya~Museo Dolores Olmedo~Palacio de Bellas Artes
