i paid a visit to the new moma after some 5 years since i was there... between 4-8p.m. on TARGET-free-Fridays... it was packed! 5 years ago i thought we got in free with a voluntary contribution... 5 years ago things were less security-hyped... 5 years ago... i thought the museum-building felt more friendly... less 'enclosed' and less walled-up... more OPEN, free, spacious... it's just me... i could be conjuring it all up for all you know!
i had fun though, but i think i might prefer the old moma... where i took some of my favourite black-&-white photos with the lovely old manual canon AE1... 5 years ago?! time certainly flew...
there are certainly lots of new pieces at the museum and some old favourites... i certainly like my Monet water-lilies in large canvases... and i love the pretty patterns of shadows... and the interplay of people and spaces... isn't that huge Miro (far-right of the stitched pics collage) colourful?!
but what really caught my eye and stuck in my memory are two very lovely pieces by the Austrian artist who was rather modern for his time, Gustav Klimt: Hope and The Park... that looked much lovelier in the museum than they do virtually.
