5-23-10 National Art Gallery




We decided to hit the Art Museum today. There were two exhibits that we wanted to see, the Chester Dale collection and the Sacred Made Real. The former was at the West wing, the more traditional art museum. There were many impressionist paintings there - we like that. Found a Picasso that Sue really liked - not what one would think was a Picasso modern art. We are not art students but we know we really like Monet and company. The second exhibit was at the East wing, the Modern Art Museum, although all the pieces were from Spain in the 17th and 18th centuries. They were religious sculptures that had been painted and poly chromed to make them very lifelike. And lifelike they were indeed.
