Our time in Houston has continued and today we explored some amazing art in the Museum precinct. First of all a visit to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and what an incredible place it is. Art including paintings, sculptures, textiles, jewellery, furniture, stained glass and all they way from the Byzantine and Egyptian era to current art. Art from Korea, Japan, India and China and more ........... and amazing modern unusual installations as well. The space is incredible and one of the best galleries we think we have ever seen. Once again the camera worked overtime and I took over 200 photos. So here are just a few (except it seems like there are way too many just in this post!!).....
Hmmmm...think Mr Morris might have been inspired by this?.........
Now modern art is not generally on my list.....but some in here left me mesmerised........
I stood spellbound by this work of art for about 10 minutes. I could do with this at home for meditating - the wires and weights slowly raise and lower to create patterns on the wall - just wonderful........
This is the underground tunnel linking two wings of the museum which is an art work in lights - I wasn't allowed to photograph it - instead this is an image from the brochure........
We then walked a little further to a very modern museum........
Thanks so much for sharing and for your comments. I might have a blog free day tomorrow. So take care where-ever you are and hugs to everyone at home as well X
you must be exhausted, so glad you were not caught up in the storm, sounds dreadful for those East coasters. The graphic design in lighting fixture with the colour effects is also drawn in "zentangling" and can be quilted in a continuous line.. four blocks together is "Ricks Paradox" . Quilt design inspiration everywhere you look.
