I went to see the G
eorgia O'Keeffe and Henry Moore show at the MFA in Boston yesterday.
She is one of my favorite artists. Although I am very familiar with her work, as I stood there looking at the paintings, I suddenly realized that I knew them as iconic images, but not PAINTINGS!
There were very few that I had never seen (in books) before.
This one, I've had a poster of it hanging in my house for years, and I had a postcard so I used it as a bookmark.
But I had never really appreciated what a great painter she really was. I enjoyed being able to get up close and really admire the details in her work. I know you've probably heard it before, but artwork looks so much different in real life than it does in photographs.
It was really eye-opening. I had a wonderful day.
