Megan Caldwell and Everyone Else at Longbranch

For a long time now, the only painting by Megan Caldwell in the collection has been this little painting on a tiny block of wood in the kitchen. We fixed that.
Sad to miss the opening due to Indiana, though we got a preview of the show before everyone invaded. What a fantastic collection of work, not just Megan’s but also great stuff from Winslow McCagg, Anna Billman (whose photography is excellent) and Leigh Henry.
So now we have some Megan in the house. Or we will. Or something.
This one depicts a local stretch of the river very close to home.

Same spot, different time of day.
Because Eli and Romey insisted, the upper left painting now belongs to me. The water is magical.
This is a study for the painting I purchased. Had to get it too.
Winslow and Anna’s work was in another room. The pairings were perfect. An incredibly well-designed show.
Nice to see such great work at Longbranch. Clarke County’s art scene is top notch. (The show will be up through May 8, 2022.)
All’s Well at the Whitney Biennial

What do you do when you’re in NYC with friends just for fun? Well, for one thing you go to the Whitney Biennial (which you get to by walking down the High Line…but that’s another story). The Whitney has become my favorite museum in the city. The Biennial was interesting, but not really much more interesting than the usual stuff on display at the Whitney. Of course, the usual stuff is usually great.
The top floor of the Biennial is downright anxiety inducing.
Are we living in a computer simulation? Don’t ask Dave.
Fortunately, things are brighter in the sunshine.

The MoMA…can’t live with it, can’t live without it. So many people. But so much art. And the food is great too.
The Mind’s Eye? Surveillance capitalism? Who knows.
Romey’s favorite artist, but no dice on seeing her favorite painting this visit
Not my favorite Kandinsky period

Picasso Perfection at the Phillips Collection

The Phillips Collection remains one of my favorite art museums. The incredible level of curation at the new Picasso exhibit shows why. Great combinations in addition to world class art. Top notch.
For those who know their picasso, this is early stuff, basically 1901-1904 (including the blue period).
We went to the show as a last birthday present of the 38th year. Thanks Romey. What an excellent present, art with the ones you love.
PICASSO
NOT PICASSO
My favorite painting at the Phillips.
In a new spot.
After art, we were hoping to have brunch at the Bistrot Du Coin, but once again the google hours were wrong. Fortunately, there was La Tomate to fill in admirably. We had lots of cacio et pepe. Ahhhh.

The Man Ray exhibit in Richmond is well worth a visit, especially when you surround yourself with friends. Romey set up this visit to the VMFA with Stan. Gorgeous pictures, interesting technique, and oh the gossip!
There were the famous.

Up the Gondola in Bergen

The morning started with a quick visit to pick up some pottery cups we couldn’t leave Norway without. We were driving in a Leaf.

After a circuitous meandering walk, we made it to the gondola, and up we went. The gondola has been newly renovated.

Kode Bergen

First was an absolutely disturbing and shocking video and art set by Paul McCarthy. Shock art. You can read about the psychopathic exhibit above. The film was just disturbing.
All that required some clearing of the head with Munch and older sedate art.
