The Met: Modern Art

October 11th was a busy day, doing the Met's Modern Art section and then visiting the J. P. Morgan Library in the mid-town area. First, the Met...

Kandinsky, Garden of Love, 1912

Man Ray, Obstruction, 1912,1961

Man Ray, Flying Dutchman, 1920; homage to Wagner, actually laundry
drying in NYC...some of the best scenes in Midnight in Paris involve 
Man Ray

Man Ray, Indestructible Object, 1963; apparently
metronomes fascinated the Surrealists...

Picasso, Woman in a Chemise in an Armchair, 1914

Obligatory Jack the Dripper
Obligatory Cy Twombly

Obligatory Warhol; Team Warhol...

Doris Salcedo, Untitled, 1997-1999

Charles Demuth, I Saw the Number 5 in Gold, 1935

Modigliani, Jeanne Hebuterne, 1919

Diego Rivera, The Cafe Terrace, 1915; fuse Pointillism
with Cubism and you get this Rivera-before-he-was-Rivera

After the tour, we wandered and eventually strayed into an area labeled
"American Design"...interesting stuff...
Art Deco motorboat outboard engine...
