I enjoyed an art Sunday over Labor Day weekend. The Kimbell offered an exhibit from the John D. Rockefeller 3rd collection of Asian Art. Seventy works entitled
Buddha, Shiva, Lotus, Dragon. Fabulous work from India, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand. The history, the beauty, and the complexity of cultures embraced in the art was wondrous. I love this museum.
Big contrast over at the Modern Museum of Fort Worth.
Sean Scully - the Shape of Ideas proved colorful and interesting. The stripes proved rather hypnotic.
I really liked the colors in this piece
The ebb and flow and the inserts added a neat dimension. Modern art is not necessarily an instant like. And stripes - we all paint those in kindergarten. But on a huge scale, and reading words like "juxtaposition" - Sean Scully experimented and succeeded in some powerful pieces.
I had fun and enjoyed a tasty quiche at the Kimbell cafe. Explore your backyard folks - arts, museums, expand the mind. (And everyone wore masks - thoughtful patrons!)
