Picasso to Warhol - Traveling Exhibition


 

I took a group of my high school students to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to see this exhibition.  It was awesome! Picasso's Girl Before a Mirror - What an image to be greeted by walking into the exhibition!! So vibrant, lovely texture.


Bearden's collages were extraordinary to see! This is not one of the ones we saw, but it is similar
Leger's Three Women - wow, to see in person - when viewing this exhibition I was thinking about my work - Leger's depiction of women in a mechanical age interests me

Matisse's paper cut-outs were also of interest - again this is not one of the exact images we saw, but similar
Duchamp's L.H.O.O.Q

Johns' encaustic work was lovely, so vibrant and textural

What was the most interesting to see was the texture in Mondrian's 'flat' images. Wow.



We were also lucky enough to see the works of... Brancusi (Bird in Space, among others), de Chirco, Miro, Bourgeois, Pollock, Calder, and of course, Warhol.  In the contemporary art exhibition we saw Richter, Kiefer, and more.
