And because it's not just one of my faves, but one of Rockwell Kent's most popular prints, here's Flame, 1928. #RockwellKent
The highlight of visiting @taftmuseum is getting to experience these ca. 1850-52 landscape murals in the foyer by African American artist Robert S. Duncanson, who was only in his late 20s when commissioned to paint these! #ITweetMuseums #TaftMuseum
The permanent collection of @taftmuseum is diverse, and at times rather surprising. The #Limoges enamels captivated me, including this striking detail of Marcus Curtius from the early 1600s. #ITweetMuseums #TaftMuseum
I was just reading about #MargueriteZorach the other day and wondered why I wasn't more familiar with her work. @PtldMuseumofArt had at least 6 of her canvases on exhibit, including this exemplary, and very Maine, Diana of the Sea, 1940. #ITweetMuseums
I mean, look at these details! (Again folks, this is at the Geological Museum.) #ITweetMuseums
#StockholmSubway stations are designed to brighten your commute, rather than make it feel oppressive. Instead of trying to hide that you're in a carved-out underground tunnel, the stone has been left with rough hewn edges, but enhanced with fanciful bursts of color and design.
Another great history museum in Stockholm: @nordiskamuseet. A colossal 1925 statue of King Gustav Vasa, sculpted by Carl Milles, greets you upon entering, and dominates the impressively voluminous space. #ITweetMuseums #NordiskaMuseet #GustavVasa #CarlMilles
The @ngadc has a swoon-worthy gallery of #ElGreco paintings. I always love it when they include hints of #ToledoSpain somewhere in the background, as in Laocoön, ca. 1610-14 & Saint Martin and the Beggar, 1597-99. #ITweetMuseums #MyNGAdc #ToledoEspaña
I always appreciate getting to see the work of #PaulCadmus from the 1930s-40s contextualized with his peers, and was thrilled to see at @davidzwirner, for the first time in person, his startlingly brutal Herrin Massacre, 1940, on loan from @columbusmuseum. #ITweetMuseums
Learned that #EugeneDelacroix rarely exhibited his oil sketches in public, but he did show this undulating Christ on the Cross, 1845 in a prominent exhibit in Paris. I loved seeing it here, next to the fully developed canvas from 1846. (Why I love retrospectives.) #ITweetMuseums
