Days and Things
Here’s the latest.
Monday I watched an art video called Works by Women: From the Heart. It was from 1982 and featured nine women artists and it was awesome.
Tuesday I made an abstract graphite drawing.
Yesterday I read a section of The Artist’s Way. I think I’m going to start the course March 1.
And today I went to the art museum to see an exhibit called The Dancer, with works by Degas, Forain and Toulouse-Lautrec. Photography wasn’t allowed inside the museum, so here’s a picture of one of the banners hanging on the building.
That statue was my favorite piece in the exhibit. It’s a Degas called Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer and it is bronze with a real tutu and hair ribbon. Apparently the original scandalized the Impressionist art world in Paris because it was so realistically detailed and the subject was a bit risque.
