MOMA, how do I love thee?

 Above is my journal page talking about our trip to NYC along with our MOMA tickets taped in. 

David and I loved our trip to MOMA. While I was disappointed in the Quay Brothers exhibit (don't get me wrong, it really was worth seeing but it wasn't the same experience as the Kubrick exhibit where you really got a sense of the man and the artist and I LOVE The Quay Brothers.) 

If I could, I would hop on a plane right now and camp out in front of the Duchamp piece Box in a Valise. Below you will find a small selection of my favorite pieces. Nothing will ever compare with seeing a Picasso, Kandinsky, Klee, Chagall, Duchamp, Cornell, Van Gogh, Kahlo, Rivera, Modigliani or Munsch in person. I never truly appreciated Picasso until I saw his pieces in person. I could have spent all day just sitting in the room with the Chagall and Kandinsky pieces and have been superbly happy. I could spend a life time looking at the Klee pieces and see something new each time. It was a surreal experience and one that I have revisited in my dreams many times since. I can't wait to go back.

I am always in awe Kelly when I see this type of artwork in person. It reminds me how much is "lost in translation" on the Internet.

Thanks for sharing this - I just recently got to see an entire Van Gogh exhibit - nothing compares to real life...haven't seen Starry Night in person...yet
The Moma is great!! I loved growing up in NYC, because there were museums galore, but the MoMa always has a special place in my heart.

It looks like you had an amazing time.
