Chester Dale collection

Visited the National Gallery of Art- West wing and was really impressed by the Chester Dale collection of French paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Who is Chester Dale? A really wealthy man making it big on the wall street but having a great interest in art, as well as being on the board and the president of the National Gallery of Art.

This week we are going to the opening of Tony Savoie.

Museum talk over Yves Klein at Hirshorn Museum

Learning about this artist has changed my perspective over monochromatic pantings.

The depth of the blue (named after the artist) as well as the definition of shape and line are accentuated over the shadows and highlights.

His experimentation with art using bodies and sponges to paint his forms opened a new sense of expression for abstract artists then and till today.

Thesis block: Biomorphic patterns vs. geometric forms

Check out the photos from my visit the the National Arboretum where we visited an amazing bonsai tree collection, some dating from 1700's! Inspiration for my thesis and work.
