We went to the Abstract Expressionism show last week at the AGO. This Philip Guston was my favorite. It brought back memories of art school - late nights in the studio, looking through books, conversations about artists and painting... A lot of the work was great to see, like walking through an art history textbook (I love that about visiting galleries!), and the exhibit was well put together. Esmae (my 2-year-old) was particularly fond of the Frans Kline black & white paintings, and loved watching and listening to the videos of him painting. Most other gallery visitors were tolerant of her squeals of delight!
The unfortunate thing about galleries/museums is the insane prices for pretty crappy food! Mark took this photo, saying "Now there's an art piece!"
